Aker Bilk. Strangers on the shore. Some songs are attached to memorable occasions.

Imagine always does. The other one is Wind Beneath My Wings. As a muso I’ve performed it often and choked. I think of my dad’s support, encouragement and love throughout my life and music career.

Don’t know what it is about this song – makes me melt every time…..

Everybody hurts REM, Forever young Alphaville, its time to say goodbye.
I think it is nostalgia, regret and evoking memories that does it.

John Denver’s “Leaving on a jet plane”. Can’t listen to it, without missing my Dad. Pretty certain it was sung in the Squadron mess in the late 60s, before they went on detachments.

Puff the magic dragon

The long and winding road,
You don’t bring me flowers
I cant live if living is without you

And many more……I cry at the drop of a hat when in that sort of mood….

This does it for me
