Snow Cats
Introduction The title is a play on words because there are no cats out because of the snow and cold weather. Cats are incredibly sensible in that they are keeping warm and out of the cold, which is a lot more sensible than I am being on my walks.

This is NOT Bruce Springsteen
Introduction That is of course not true, this is a Bruce Springsteen playlist and we know how many great songs he has written but these are performances of songs that he has NOT written and was prompted by me accidentally coming across his live cover of Frank Wilson’s “Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)” which, in my opinion, outdoes the original, and that is one of my favourite records ever. It appears on his soul covers album “Only The Strong Survive” released this year, and though my playlist opens with that song I thought it would be good to dig up some of his other covers for you to enjoy.

Introduction I saw this Instagram post from Francesco Simone Savi and it got me thinking about how AI is seeping into all art creation. Months ago I was alerted to an article where an artist was saying they were under threat from AI generated art. I replied to it is the article below.

My Fear of Fiction
Introduction I don't think I am very good at fiction and don't believe that I could ever write a book. To me, there is too much planning involved and my mind likes to run off in an uncontrolled manner where I reign it in if I get too wild. This is really about how I manage to write fiction despite being scared stiff every time I put pen to paper, or finger to keyboard.

Family - A Strange Band But One Of Leicester’s Finest
Introduction My first exposure to Family was seeing them perform “In My Own Time” on Top of the Pops and was struck by the absolutely manic look and voice of their lead singer Roger Chapman. Their sound isn’t straight rock or progressive though the songs have reasonably standard formats with elements of folk and dissonance in there.

At The Touch Of A Button
Introduction Earlier this year I was looking at my profile, and as I am so laconic, I believe that I don’t have to say much about myself because most people find me uninteresting and boring ( although if you are reading this you are among that select elite who believe I have something worthwhile to say or you stumbled here by accident, whatever I now have your attention).
