There must be at least one  Soft Machine fan  around here.  So, if they don't know yet, a 17 disc box is coming, covering the  CBS years. People are quite excited about this, though not a lot of the material  is  unreleased.


Initially very excited when I read the news although the finer detail diminishes that excitement rather than develops it.  It's a maybe from me.


Yes  ,  the alternative 5  stuff will tempt some people.   And the BBC material  is expanded and I'm told it's from a better source.  I have the original   Windsong discs which sound fine to me.

On the heels of last year's deluxe edition of Foreigner 4, they're releasing a deluxe edition of Head Games. Like the other, it includes demos, early takes, and a live concert recorded on the associated tour.

I know Foreigner is corporate rock, blah blah blah, but I think Lou Gramm is one of the finest rock singers in history, and I particularly love new live releases from the classic era.

If you're not into her C&W music then I'd recommend giving her album Little Sparrow a listen as it was Dolly going back to her bluegrass roots. Guests on the album included Alison Krauss and Jerry Douglas. It was the second album from her bluegrass trilogy from the early 2000s. I must give the other two a listen.

Sad to hear about Dolly’s death yesterday.

I was never a  fan and am not keen on C n W music, but I know a lot of her songs.

She did a huge amount of charity work and what I remember most personally about her is that two of my grandchildren were sent a book each month from her until they were five.  This wa just gorgeous.

Thank you Dolly 🩷😥🩷😥🩷😥

I am getting a bit gushy about this.
The more stories that are being told the more it adds to the legend and she didnt brag about it.
I dont think I can remember a bad word being said about her.
Hundreds of millions of books for children for Cliffs sake, and all our so called elite can do is ask for tax cuts or threaten to leave the country.
Is she one of the greatest women ever? Quite possibly, or should I say persons?

How long does it take to do your hair? - I dont know I'm never there.
