Jo Whiley started a new show on Radio 2 last week, I've been catching up with it at work during the day, it's so nice to have her on the radio regularly again. Listening to her remids me why I find music so exciting, I will never be able to match her musical knowledge but am inspired nonetheless.
One of the features is a 'mix tape' in which various celebrities are asked to pick 3 songs they couldn't live without. Listeners are also asked to do the same centered on a theme dinner party, pick me up etc.
I've started to ponder and The Chain by Fleetwood Mac is definitely in there but as to the other two.....I want to include an Eddie Reader track as her voice is just about as perfect as one can get, but which one? There are so many exquisite choices. And for the final choice, do I go retro with Blondie or Sammy Davies Jnr (his live rendition of High Heeled Sneakers is a marvel) or do I choose one of the past few years discoveries like Laura Marling or something obscure. Three may be the magic number but it's hard to pin down....
P.S - fab news, later this week I should have broadband connection at home, which means I should be able to blog with more regularity AND include more photos. Not having to wait 10 minutes whilst the dial up connection loads one photo will be quite a blessing.
