LIFE PLAYLISTS: Today I’m pleased to welcome writer Jane Risdon choosing five great tracks which are special to her…
Today I am chatting to Jo Lambert about my 5 Life Playlists; songs which mean a lot to me. Drop in. It’s her new blog series. it was fun. But hard picking just 5.
Hello everyone, and thanks Jo for asking me to contribute my 5 life tracks. To say this was difficult if not near impossible is an understatement. Both personally and professionally I’ve worked with music all my life and I’ve really had to dig deep to find just 5 tracks which are special to me. I could easily have offered up 500 plus. Compiling this has taken longer that writing a short story.
I won’t list the songs my husband has recorded (always favourites) or those written for me because they are personal in a private way, but one song he used to sing to me when we were first together is ‘Never My Love,’ recorded by the amazing Association in 1967 – the year before we met – and was written by the Addrisi brothers and produced by Bones Howe.
The lyrics kept us going when we were apart…

I still have some 45s in one of those little carry cases with a handle, although it’s falling apart. I went through them yesterday for these titles, although I didn’t have a copy of that particular song by the Beatles. Let’s face it, when I was a young teen, everything by the Beatles was a favorite:)

I ahd those carrying cases and the larger ones for 78s and 33rpm…as well. Yes The Beatles, were amazing. Still are. Such amazing songwriting and so innovative with George Martin. Those were the days my friend (Mary Hopkin – Paul McC!!). 🙂
