Yay, it is Friday again, and Fandango has just published his Flashback Friday post. The idea is that he picks a post from this day in a previous year, to give newer readers a better insight into what makes him tick.

I have always liked that idea, so shall also post my own reminiscence. As much as anything, it reminds me of where I was, where I am now, and how far I have come. Hopefully, you will find it entertaining along the way.

Oh, and thank you to Jennifer at Paperkutzs for allowing me to use her image.

This is a musical interlude from last year. I’ve found out more about Percy Grainger since then. He was an Australian who ended up in the USA, and apparently this is one of his most famous pieces, along with Country Garden (which every schoolboy surely knows).

I’m a few days out today but I figured that the tune was worth a reblog. Here’s the link again to save you having to click through.
