Here's my top 8:-

1 My Love is like a red,red rose (Kenneth McKellar) This reminds me of my wife

2 Lovesick Blues (Hank Williams) This takes me back to my teenage years. However I am feeling, this lifts me up.

3, Aint Misbehavin ( Fats Waller is a great favourite of mine. . along with Jelly Roll Morton)

4 Blueberry Hill (Fats Domino) This makes me want to jive even though its not fast.

5. Memories of You ( Benny Goodman Trio) Relaxation

6 The Unchained Melody (Al Hibbler) There have been some good versions, but this is from my youth and the tune takes me back to my teens. Very romantic

7. When the Saints Go Marching in (The Saints Jazz Band) The Saints, a Manchester trad jazz band, were the first such band I ever saw. It was up the Con and pointed me towards the love of the tailgate trombone, the lilting clarinet. Makes me happy, though there are many recordings I would be equally happy with.

8. I Can't Get Started (Bunny Berigan) reminds me of a particular period in my life.

I'd like to have included somethibng by Doris Day, with whom I am in love ,and by Buddy Holly, the great innovator. I could go on.

I'd like to take a dictionary and a bottomless bottle of port to accompany the Lancashire Creamy cheese.
