Hello and Welcome!

Hi, my name is Sam and I'm new to this blogging lark. So if initially this looks a little primitive, well, that's why..

My aim is not to host full albums, either in or out of print, rather to highlight some of my favourite tracks via Mixes. I may, along the way, link up some of my favourite vids via you tube links..

All songs represented are favourites of mine, past & present - many genres will be represented, if I like a song, I like it, regardless of who it's by blah blah

So off we go....
