But I used to listen to my crystal radio every night!<br /><br />Elizabeth - Thank you for your kind remark. And I had never heard of 'altered books'! So I googled those words and have had a very interesting 30 minutes. The possibilities are almost endless, aren't they!<br /><br />GB - Mmm. Music. I should have added that I said I sing. But I'm not very good. I just love to sing. No-one, for example has every asked me for an encore.<br /><br />Robert - Yes, we had a coincidence, what with your own recent exciting music-news!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453125929159161583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-43752715288664457842010-08-17T00:30:39.218+12:002010-08-17T00:30:39.218+12:00Your list brought back many memories and made me t...Your list brought back many memories and made me think of my own list.<br /><br />WV = laggingrhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-45125898335691225942010-08-16T00:07:34.794+12:002010-08-16T00:07:34.794+12:00Music.

One of the things I was going to do in New Zealand was get singing lessons and see if I could sing again. Like many things I was going to do it got pushed out by the myriad of new things (mainly croquet!) which grabbed me instead.<br /><br />I cannot believe it!

Although the words available to them are restricted, the results are often liberatingly good.
