Three cheers for our libraries! Met my wife in a library and we've been married 40 years now. Be hell to pay in fines if I took her back there.

As a Zappaphile I'm going to have a different top 10 every day of the year depending on mood but at least we can celebrate Frank's birthday with his music. Music is the best.

Take care with recovery (and physio if needed). My missus fell over a couple of years ago and needed partial shoulder replacement. The following year she fell down whole flight of stairs and didn’t break anything.🤷🏻‍♂️

Going to have an hour of my selected music played on @radiocarolinet15s.bsky.social Wednesday 27 November at 9 am GMT (or anytime for a fortnight with their Listen Again facility). Music I listened to as an adolescent in the 1970s and informed my adult tastes. Chuffed to bits.
