Bach, "Little" Fugue in G minor, Organ



Looking at this blog you could be forgiven for thinking I only listen to vintage reggae, but that`s not the case.

 Here`s something else I like

Ossie Scott/The Moonlighters - Memories Vol 4 ; Taurus - Musicism Vinyl LPl

  Ossie Scott and the Moonlighters - Memories Volume 4 ; Taurus Musicism - Undated Canadian Vinyl LP This is a recent addition to my vinyl collection and something I'm very happy to have. Ossie Scott was a Jamaican sax player, working mainly in the fields of jazz and reggae.  He apparently began his career playing big band jazz before joining Byron Lee and the Dragonnaires. This was the springboard for a solo career with he combined with work as a busy session musician. The Memories series of LPs is something of an enigma. The plan seems to have been to issue 12 albums, each named, for no obvious reason, after a different sign of the zodiac. The Moonlighters was a collective name for a group of Jamaican session musicians. While Ossie and the Moonlighters all had impeccable reggae credentials, the Memories albums that I have heard are firmly entrenched in the world of jazz.  This is probably my favourite of the Memories albums so far (I have two others), partly because som...

Gerald Verner - The Grim Joker (Kindle Edition)

  Gerald Verner - The Grim Joker - Kindle Edition  Robert Budd Mystery Number 1 Gerald Verner was one of a number of pen-names used by John Robert Stuart Pringle (31 Jan 1897-16 Sep 1980). Other names used by the multipseudonymous Mr Pringle include Derwent Steele, Donald Stuart and Nigel Vane. First published in 1936, this is the first of quite a lengthy series of books featuring central character Supt Robert Budd.  I would say it is intelligently plotted, written in an engaging style and is likely to satisfy all but the most demanding of afficionados of detective fiction of that era.  Budd is an interesting and, mostly, engaging character. Known as `Rosebud` by his subordinates due to his interest in gardening, he is obese and cultivates a sleepy demeanour which hides an incisive mind.  His tendency to be abrasively rude to any Officer who he perceives as negligent, even when this does not seem to actually be the case, will not sit well with the modern reader ...

Ghost Sign - Neville`s Garage - Nottinghamshire - North Notts

Image
This ghost sign appears on the side of a private house on the road between Langley Mill and Eastwood (North Nottinghamshire).  It`s size and position means it is very apparent to motorist driving along that road, but sadly it`s not so easy to get a decent picture of it. As you might be able to tell, it advertises a business called Nevilles` Garage, which it describes as being, IIRC, a mile further along the road.  I`ve only come across one other photo of it, which was posted on Flickr by someone called Claire, who had the good sense to take her shot from the other side of the road at a time when there was little traffic about.  It is captioned `Neville`s Garage, Eastwood` . It would be interesting to know whether the eponymous Neville lived there at some point and saw a chance to plug his business, or whether he perhaps paid someone to have his sign on the outside of their home.  If anyone knows, get in touch.
