Favourite songs from way back when.

Some pretty good athletes there,

 

George Harrison

 

Not really the song but some lyrics that mean a lot to me.

"Light up, light up, as if you have choice.....
Even if you cannot hear my voice, I'll be right beside you dear"

But it's got to be Snow Patrol!!!!

 

Peace by Peter Gosling, beautiful words, such a shame the world don't listen.

 

A hot tip for anyone that listens to internet radio....ROCK FM
Not too many adverts, and the few there are are incomprehensible, being in Russian
Just good music from the 1950's onwards.....

 

For some reason I find radio annoying, just cant stand it in the house garden or car.
Used to listen at work, but it was not something I was addicted to like some people seem to be.

 

I quite agree with regard to most UK and French stations, but that's because of the incessant jabbering and adverts at the expense of the music! The Russian station plays 99% of my music collection, plus some gems from the 70s and 80s that I missed at the time, so it's worth 2 minutes of incomprehensible 'news' on the hour

 

So is it a digital station?
Rock FM sounds like its not, bearing in mind FM isn't digital.

Or can you only get it on the internet.

 

It's via the internet. I haven't had a 'normal' radio since moving here. The BBC blocked access even online, but the way it was going, with their constant self-promoting adverts, it's no great loss!

 

It does sound good, but not yet worked out how it all works.

 

You go into the normal browser, type in the name of the station you want (including country suffix) and usually there is a button for 'live' listening, or just a >. Save to favourites and bingo There are also sites with details of what's out there so you can choose by type of music.
