struth, thanks for sharing.
I share a number of your musical interests, especially the early Blues up to the Muddy Waters era, and I love the smooth and silky Jazz vocals of Ella Fitzgerald.
I listen to classical music in the car and also in my office/bedroom. I have a pair of Audio-Technica M50x headphones for late night listening and watching, but often belt out garage rock or country through a Yamaha PA system during the day. We do a lot of karaoke in our house, and often sit in front of the log burner singing old favourites while accompanied by my son, daughter in law and granddaughters playing their guitars.
My film watching tends to be of the Netflix/Amazon/Sky variety, although my son has shelves of DVD’s neatly lined up in bookcases for when we want to revisit an old film favourite. I really enjoy re watching good films.
Whisky! I don’t pretend to be a connoisseur, but I generally have a dozen or so bottles in my little collection. They range from light golden Japanese blended to dark and peaty single malts like Laphroaig. There’s also usually an interloper Bourbon (Woodford Reserve) on the shelf. I use to drink Whisky straight but recently my son persuaded me to put two freshly made Malvern Water ice cubes in a glass and pour the whisky over it, then leave it for ten minutes before sipping. The result is amazing, as I’m now able to taste the full range of nuanced flavours that I would have missed by drinking it straight. I sound like an alcoholic, lol!
Cheers struth.
