Just thought I’d reblog this rendition of Sara Smile by Hall & Oates.  This was done last year and it’s not without it’s imperfections, nevertheless I still am pretty happy with it.  There will be new original material emerging from my good self very soon indeed. Stay tuned.

I don’t have a single complete show or movie or anything else that I could look at and say, “Nailed that one.” But endless dissatisfaction is, I suppose, what gets us out of bed in the morning.

2012 has seen too many gifted musicians pass away.  We say farewell to Mr Robin Gibb, arguably the most distintive singer of the three Bee Gees.  He leaves us a catalogue of some of the most incredible pop music of the last century.  He also leaves behind a legacy of solo material of which the album ‘Robins Reign’ from 1970 is arguably the best.  This song ‘The Worst Girl In This Town’ is from that very album.  Rest in peace Robin.
