My tracks...
What's your favorite song to listen to while doing chores?
One of my favourite, rather jolly, kitchen tunes
"Around the south, my wares I'd sell
In public houses and hotels
There was never a guard, nor a customs man
Put his nose inside of the transit van
Festivals and fleadhs and fair
If the craic was good you'd find me there
At all big matches in Croke park
And I danced with Springsteen in the dark"
Soul Limbo
Booker T. & The M.G.'s
Share a song that sounds like a favorite childhood memory.
One of my memories of childhood is being outside on the green at the front of our house, playing football or cricket.
The BBC theme tune for the cricket is the better one.
Reconsider Baby (Elvis R&B Version)
Elvis Presley
What's a song you'd want your best friend to hear for the first time?
Waterloo Sunset (Live at Piccadilly Studios, 1968)
The Kinks
Share a song that captures the feeling of being homesick.
When I lived in London I was sometimes homesick for Salisbury. Now I'm back in Salisbury the reverse is true.

What's a song that makes you want to learn an instrument?
I don't have a musical bone in my body, but I did once live with a bloke who was very musical. He taught me how to play a bit of this
Share a song that perfectly soundtracks your commute.
I work from home, so my commute is just from bedroom to living room
There isn't a song called 'Downstairs', so I've picked this rather wonderful song by Petula Clark
Southern Accents
Johnny Cash
What song makes you feel nostalgic for a time you never lived through?
I'm going to tweak the question a little bit.
One of the useless bits of information I've gathered over the years is that nostalgia originally meant something more like homesickness....and I've got a better answer for this question
What song makes you feel homesick for a place you've never lived?
This song, as I understand it, is about the southern states of America. I first heard it when we were still living in London, and every time I heard it Johnny was, in my head, singing about Wiltshire accents rather than Southern ones
There's a Wiltshire accent, where I come from
The young 'uns call it country
The Yankees call it dumb
I got my own way of talkin'
But everything is done, with a Wiltshire accent
Where I come from
