Lol, I'm definitely not "with it" - Van Morrison currently playing!

I listen to music a lot of the time, so try loads of different things, otherwise it'd be mind-bending having the same 20 songs on a loop!  :tired:

My choices are all linked to things that have happened in my life.  So here are five of my strongest choices.


Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen -
Only Want to be With You - The Tourists
Bat Out of Hell - Meatloaf
