I love The Kingston Trio(pic.left) and couldn’t resist playing ‘Scotch and Soda’ today..,intermingled with a few Gerswhin songs……George & Ira(pic.right)whose legacy constantly reminds me of the genius in both of them -regardless of versions of their songs,there is always something great to listen and reminisce to………Jose Feliciano sang a lot of other people’s songs but thats OK-they were great recordings made better by his skill with the guitar which earned him his place in contemporary music history-and its easy to be “snobby” about music BUT one cannot deny Lionel Richie’s songwriting genius and the album ‘Tuskegee‘ where he has recorded with the royalty of Nashville’s music community is well worth any music lover’s investment in time and ears !-its an album of great songs,great production -more next week on ‘A Taste Of Honey’.

About the Author: Love my music..anything with a great melody,arranged with either a BIG orchestra or a quality acoustic guitar......I enjoy passionate performances.. by the artiste(s) -that is always the main criteria for my choice of the tracks that make up the programme.....versions of great old songs and new songs that enable a response,a smile,a memory of a time and a place,to groove a little... ...many years of executive management in the entertainment business in NZ,Australia,Asia Pacific and New York enabled me to immerse myself in music and people....my two indulgences and I hope the music each week brings you some of the same responses.
