Greetings from Going for a song ! I’m retired, I’m a Manchester man and I’m a serious music anorak. I’ve been collecting records since the early 60s, and over the last six years I’ve been teaching myself piano. My original music heroes were (and are) Cliff Richard and the Shadows. Then I got into the Beatles and 60s music in general. Then Bowie, Elton and many more in the 70s. Over the years I’ve listened to a lot of classical, jazz, folk and country music too. Rap and hip-hop bore me rigid. I’d rather hear songs and pieces of music which have melodies or tunes you can actually remember.
