Hello,

We have some good walks by the rivers here too. Always very restful and plenty to see and enjoy.

Musical taste is a funny thing. To what extent does it depend on what has been handed down to us through our genes and how much does it depend on what we hear when we are growing up?

In the 50's and early 60's children in UK schools were steeped in folk music through the BBC Singing Programmes. Jazz was easily accessible on the TV. Nowadays there is encouragement to play "pop" and study Rap. IMHO it takes quite a strong musical personality to play "outside the box" and explore folk, blues, jazz and classical music.   

What do you reckon?

Any of that Key Lime pie left?

Best wishes,

Peter
