Whilst enjoying a rare peaceful breakfast with my husband, we got to discussing songs, albums and artists that have been introduced to us and/or been important during childhood/teens/events/challenging times in our lives.

Here's my list:


Classical Music - early childhood onwards

Ocean Dreams - all introduced by my darling husband
