Favorite Music Lennon & McCartney - THEIR MUSIC WILL NEVER AGE OR DIE! ...The long and winding road! Tamla Motown. Pop-music from 70's & 80's...I must 'air' those flared-trousers & 'very-loud' & colourful shirts & ties (once again!)...one day! Popular classical pieces ...ALL the (usual) well-known stuff.
Favorite Books I've NEVER had the time/patience/inclination to read books...just for the sheer 'pleasure & enjoyment' of the exercise!...POSSIBLY I'LL GET AROUND TO DOING IT, ONE DAY?...WHY NOT NOW?!...That I've actually retired!
