Jun 30: A different year through July and August.

Today marks the half way point of my year of musical blogging.

Thanks to all of you who have visited, contributed blog posts or commented. Over 40 000 page views is not too bad for a brand new project: a lot more than some of my previous 365 projects.

The idea is that I'm going to be sharing some music that I listen to from each year from 1973, when I first heard Tubular Bells to the present day. 

This will count up through the years as we go through July and August and be supplemented with additional posts as always...

If there's an essential album you think I've missed out, please get in touch.
There'll be Google Forms at the end of some of the classic years.
Tomorrow we start with 1973, and straight away we have: 'Tubular Bells, 'Houses of the Holy', 'Dark Side of the Moon' and 'Queen' to kick us off... to name but a few from that particular year...

To get you in the mood - here's a song I loved when at Primary school and tried to play on the keyboard when two friends and I 'formed a band'... couldn't quite nail that opening piano riff at the time... Matt Podbury will appreciate this one...

See you tomorrow for the start of the count-up to 2026.... Feel free to chip in with your own favourite music from each year in the last 6 decades covered by this new section. There'll also be additional posts as usual...
