When MrsG-T and I married and merged our CD collections we were surprised that of the (roughly) 350 CDs there were only four duplicates. As the years have passed, children and pets have been added, bills increase inexorably and responsibilities get greater, our CD collection has stayed fairly static.
Of course we’ve added bits and pieces, but the one thing that’s beginning to bother me is the lack of new spiritual music we’ve added in recent years.
We stopped going to most music-oriented Christian festivals ages ago and seem to have lost touch with the ’scene’. As it were.
So, anyone want to post recommendations in the comments for stuff we should be listening to?
We like a wide range of musical styles from Bach to Queen, JTQ to The Who, Diana Krall to Oscar Peterson. Any ideas?
Evernote Web: Jazz FM returns as digital radio brand
I used to love listening to Jazz FM. It was one of the few really positive things about living in central London. 102.2FM – Jazz FM. Then their parent company decided that it was too restrictive and rebranded as Smooth FM, which doesn’t play the same mix of music.
Then another company started ‘The Jazz’ and I was happy again. But apparently 400,000 regular listeners isn’t enough to keep a station in advertising so the canned it a couple of months ago.
So, the latest development is that another company have bought a lease for the identity of Jazz FM and are going to put it back up again using the same chameleon logo as before. Hopefully they’ll manage some of the same lineup including my favourite, Helen Mayhew, who used to have a wonderfully relaxing ‘Dinner Jazz’ slot in the evenings. If so, bring it on!
