RIP Jon English

this has been a sorry start to 2016, with yet another of our favourite stars dying far too soon.

    I'm almost ashamed to admit it, but I wasn't familiar with him or his work. Judging by how many songs you posted, you must have really been a big fan. After listening to several of them, I can see why.

    Sigh. He really was a supremely talented man. And decorative with it.

    A lovely tribute to an artist you obviously loved and respected.

    fishducky; all of them favourites of mine :)

    Susan; he was a British-born Australian, so probably didn't get a lot of air time in America; he was an actor and a producer too.
    These are just a few of his many songs. I've been a fan since I first saw a picture in a magazine way back in the late sixties.

    Elephant's Child; very decorative :D and talented at everything he tried.

    Lee; Thank you. I wanted to put up so many more songs and photos too, but I think this will be enough.

Words for Wednesday

Image
 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.
