Fiona Wood<\/em> [Adler]: Yes, I remember with nostalgia a lot of the music mentioned already. From the early years “A Whiter Shade Of Pale” by Procul Harum (sp?) in the third(?) form and then all the Beatles’ albums over the years.. which reminds me.. I have accused my sister Helen of pinching my single of “Hey Jude” for years. She insists she didn’t so is there anyone out there was a guilty conscience???? Heavy music playing in the “Opium Den” stirs memories and I have to smile when I tell my 12 year old son that his Linkin Park and other such music is a lot of horrible noise and how silly the names are… I should know better! It’s all been before but it was so much better then…. Shan, I remember that you sold us lots of albums once when someone, was it a chef, had to leave rather suddenly from your parents’ hotel? I bought a few including one by James Taylor.. and you could understand the words! Memories too of Carol King’s “Tapestry”… Granny King as she now is! I still play the piano music occasionally… it’s 31 years old but timeless nevertheless. There was the classical side too with Ben Rivers on the piano and the lovely John Catchpole on the clarinet.. a great inspiration. “Pracci” time playing anything but what you were supposed to and certainly never your scales!<\/p>\n
