Balls, Iβm a day late but a very happy belated birthday to the awesome Robert Sledge for yesterday!
Did you know that #MeansToMe threads has been running for almost a year and a half?!
It came to life in October 2024 and there are STILL songs waiting to get their turn!
Thanks to everyone taking part each week and big love to @crowdedhouse.com for providing us with the songs to talk about β€οΈ
Itβs like this piano is inviting me to play!
Buffalo Tom tour dates π
Lunchtime walk, purple trainers and my iPod presented me with the banger βBridge To Your Heartβ by Wax.

On my many recent walks Iβve just put my iPod on shuffle and today I was presented with this banger.
A song that is nearly as old as me, but you know, it still sounds so very good. Love it π₯

Todayβs song is a random pick!
Someone sent me a work email once saying I was a***
I was raging as I thought they were calling me an arsehole, but apparently they were actually saying I was a star - βοΈ
Shame I replied calling them a cuntβ¦ π€·ββοΈ
Probably.
Why is it that when I post a really stupid, tasteless piece of shite on my Instagram story that the famous musician who follows me always watches it?!
Today it was the diarrhoea man from the pepto bismol advert π
Donβt worry, I am not going to be posting every day about my boring walking!
But Iβve been out today and the sky was blue and there was a big yellow ball in it (not sure this pic shows it, but hey). Plus I woke up to more donations so now at a brilliant total of Β£425!!
Iβm thrilled, thank you β€οΈπ©Έ
Day 1 of my challenge to walk 155,000 steps throughout March and Iβve started with a total of 8104 steps π
More donations have been received from amazing people and the total is now at Β£370!

Thanks as ever β€οΈπ©Έ

Take a look at the story of βNotes About Soundβ so farβ¦ π₯
And guess what? Weβll be adding to our story next week! π
@jamescurran.bsky.social thank you! π
Also, young Tony Hicks was gorgeous β€οΈ
βThe Air That I Breatheβ is one of the best songs ever written Β©οΈ Nic
Currently watching the brilliant Hollies documentary βLook Through Any Windowβ and chuckling as Tony Hicks tells of how they paid Elton John Β£12 to play piano on βHe Ainβt Heavyβ when he was a session musician! β€οΈ
Someone online noted this song in a top ten of greatest songs ever. Thoughts?
