A large proportion of my musical memories have some located significance so are a clear part of Geo-story. I have written posts about music as we have experienced it over on www.pannage.blogspot.com. (Note: my Blogspot is no longer updated.) However, this stepped up a gear when I started to note the audio-cassettes from the 1970s which I was about to discard for recycling (2013). This was a big moment for a hoarder. Anyway, one blog led to another and I had summarised our, that’s Marg and myself, musical journeys. It takes the form of an overview for each decade and some side-stories. I have put them together into one 62-page document called Shifting Sands (Updated Nov 2016).
