Hi Pogue, A slow one to set the day off at a chilled pace. Worth putting on your headphones and giving over three or four minutes just to listen to and savour the mood 🎧😌 I think this is the closest I’ve come to music for the soul. You tell me…. This morning 8 (Circle) … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now

Hi Pogue, Here’s something with a bit of a beat to pick your week up if it’s starting to flag 😵💫 I was actually in the middle of a workout at the gym when I realised I was moving to the music. It was then that I noticed this song. It had me caught, hook, … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening to Now

Pogue, This song comes from way back in the day. Even I was young when I first heard this! But it’s a good song and I hope you’ll appreciate it. It’s called Kuschty Rye and I’m betting that neither you nor anyone else who reads this letter will know what the term means. So here’s … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now
Letters To Pogue
Pogue, My letters to Jonathon continue. But first, a familiar text: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil … Continue reading Letters To Pogue

Pogue, I had a moment the other day when I found myself singing a song I haven’t sung in a long time. That got me thinking and I realised that I haven’t shared one of my ‘go-to’ bands from my teenage years. How remiss! I spent a whole day last week working through their catalogue … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.
Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now
Pogue, Saturday night I ventured out to listen to a band from my youth. Still turning out great music. It was what I would describe as a “sellotape and elastic band” affair with minimal equipment, the music stopping more than once as leads failed, and the bass guitar completely giving up. The support band had … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now

Hi Pogue, The first song I’ve sent you this year and we’re already two weeks in 😳 What am I like? What have I been doing? Well I’m back with a cool, and rather smooth, sound. I was in one of my favourite shops yesterday, sort of browsing the sales when this song came on … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.

Pogue, I went to Japan firstly to see the autumn foliage. The acers turning red which is quite something. Think I’m crazy to travel halfway around the world to see nature at work? Someone said to me, “God has painted the trees to captivate us”. I guess they were right! Somehow, whatever man does, at … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now

Well Pogue, Jazz seems to be a big thing where I currently am. I’ve always liked jazz so sitting in restaurants or coffee shops is a real pleasure. I just don’t listen to enough jazz so to set this right I thought I would share with you one of my all time favourites. Just appreciate … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now

Well Pogue, After Monday’s Musing it seems appropriate that we share this song. Proud by M People with their London Olympics video. And… I wrongly connect another M People song video with this, so here it is. Search For The Hero, with the original video, which should get your day started in the best way. … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now

Pogue, I thought after managing to shoehorn in a quote from the Bernie Taupin/Elton John creation, Border Song, in my Monday Musings it would be unforgivable to end the week without sharing the whole thing with you. Another song that is significantly older than you. 1970! Their first single I believe and the herald of … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.

Hi, I have a collection of albums that I return to frequently because, for me, the music is just so good. Indeed, the music is also packed with memories. One of those albums is Seventh Sojourn by the Moody Blues. I never got to see the Moody Blues when they were at the zenith of … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.

Hi Pogue, Rock on! This week I’ve been listening to the music of Carlos Santana, particularly the Supernatural and Sharman albums. I’ve enjoyed the music of Santana for many years and bought a number of albums but there came a point when the tracks were becoming somewhat repetitive and, well, there was nothing new. So … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.

Pogue, There’s been a gap in the flow of music but I’ve got one for you today. Actually I haven’t been too well and seem to lose interest in listening to music (and drinking coffee😳😵💫). Yeah, I must have been right poorly! But I’m feeling better and back on my game. So here’s a song. … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now

I was going to share an old song with you by an all time favourite band. Clint Eastwood once commented that the success of his cowboy films was due to the fact that everyone wanted to be a cowboy at some point in their life. The free spirited gypsy of the high plain, answerable to … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I am Listening To Now
Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.
Pogue, Here’s a song I heard while I was out and about. You ever suddenly realise that you’ve been listening to a song, maybe for some minutes. Your subconscious has found it and is enjoying the beat or the words and then invites you to join in? Well here’s one where that happened to me. … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.

Good Day Pogue, Today I’ve decided to send you a sound which is summed up in this song. You see, for as long as I can remember, I have loved the sound made by the Hammond Organ. And no one plays that instrument better than Stevie Winwood. I’ve been playing this song, and the album … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.

Hi Pogue, Just a quick note to share a song with you that I heard on a TV series last week. It’s really laid back and music to…just turn the lights down low with a good glass of wine in hand. Sometimes we all need a little bit of a “laid back” vibe. Have this … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.

Another bit of nostalgia Pogue. All the way from the 80’s. Before you were even born😳! But this was a band I liked a lot at the time and for some strange, (sad?), crazy, nostalgic reason I found myself seeking out one of their songs this week. I never know where my brain gets its … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.

Here’s one for you Pogue, I’m in the gym today, working out, and the musics playing. It’s in the background and I’m aware of some old songs and the…I’m totally engaged. It’s a song I haven’t heard before but it’s got me and I’m putting down the weights and going to check what and who … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m listening to now.
Long Shadow
My shadow grew longAs I walked awayThe sun shone down behind meI had not realisedHow bright it wasUntil my shadow spoke to me The woods were agedAnd dense with growthI walked for hoursLost in thoughtBut then the woodsman cameFinally I saw the trees Music has filled my daysAn undemanding companionOccupying the spaceBut then I foundI … Continue reading Long Shadow

Pogue, I have a favourite bench in the woods where I walk. To get there I have to climb across two or three fields, walk up a gully and there it is, surrounded by aged trees. Where’s the song in that? Well it is a place of peace and solitude that I come to, often … Continue reading Songs Too Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.

Pogue, If I ever put together a top 10 albums of all time Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan would be in the top 5. I originally bought it the week it was released and played it to death. It never bored me😎It wasn’t so much the music as the words that Bob put … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.

Pogue, First one of the New Year. A little late? Yeah, life’s been busy and, to my shame, I’ve not done much listening🥺. But I’m back! And this morning, for some obscure reason, I found myself listening to a song I first heard 50 years ago😳 Here we are at the start of another year, … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now
Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.
Pogue, A moment of seasonal nostalgia. The same songs come round again and again and, forbid I should say it, some are becoming like hymns! Written in ages past and yet held by the faithful to still be relevant. Yes, some are absolute classics. John Lennon, Chris de Burgh, Greg Lake, Slade… But I am … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.

Pogue, Saturday morning and there’s no rush. No need to get out and head to work. Sweeeet! So here we are just sitting and taking time to enjoy that first cup of coffee. To really savour the flavour. And letting our minds drift, free from the pressures of the week. But we need a song … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.

Well Pogue, After yesterday’s musing I guess we need to sit a savour the songs of one of those master wordsmiths I mentioned. I’ve gone for Bruce as, well, why wouldn’t I. I mean, this song was from his first album and he was already writing this well. Just enjoy. https://youtu.be/uozMTmEjxHc And if you want … Continue reading Songs to Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.
Monday Musings
Dear Pogue, Do you ever read something and ask yourself: “How does that woman think?” or “What’s gone on in his life that he can write that?” I find myself doing it more and more these days. In fact instead of considering that I’m increasing my knowledge I continually find myself realising how small my … Continue reading Monday Musings

Pogue, I went to a concert on Saturday just gone. I saw a band called Nearly Dan, a Steely Dan tribute band. I can hear your brain already, wondering, “Dan who?” But stay with me here. Back in the day I really loved the music of Steely Dan. I owned most of their albums. And … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listen To Now.
