Jan 2012 - Gearing Up for 'Music Monday'...
January 2012
As some of you will know by now.. I've been talking over the past couple of weeks about starting up a new group for the New Year... as a follow on to last years Music Themed 'December Diary'. Those who were involved... will know the Diary is a project I have been doing with my dear friend Mister Tof for the past twenty years... We started doing it online in 2007 and each year have a different Theme.
It can be quite a demanding project... having to take a photo every day, especially in the busy Month of December... and I for one was absolutely exhausted by the end of the month. But it is an installed tradition for me now and one that is dear to my heart! Over the past four years we have had a few more 'Flickr Friends' come on board and join us... and I want to thank all those who took part in this latest one. For all the wonderful images, songs, stories and comments you all shared! %-)
I LOVE my music... and LOVE discovering NEW Music.. so thought it would be fun to keep the idea rolling over into the New Year with a less demanding project where we could continue to share and have fun!!! 'Music Monday' So I hope all my December Diary Friends will come on board with the new group... and any other of our dear friends who may be interested too. If you're keen to join... drop me a line!!! %-)
So what's this picture all about....? Well... I wanted to make a 'Logo' for the group, and my first thought was a 'Vinyl Record'... so chose the beautiful Swan Song logo from Led Zeppelin... It looked a little bit lonely... so I pulled out a few CD's to go with it. Some classic faves that I had on hand... including a couple that unfortunately didn't make it into last months project... and have included a link to a favourite from each of them! %-)
Ted was terribly disappointed with me that I didn't include HIM and HIS song in last months December Diary too... So I promised him I'd start up a new group especially for him... and his will be the FIRST song I'll post on Monday! %-)
