Good stuff Benji, something for everyone in this one.   Some very old, oldies!  at the start, I don't always admit it, but after hating it throughout my teens, I actually like Muriel Day, a bit... 🥴 

Thanks, glad you like it. Yes, some rather poor oldies at the start. But they're part of SWONS aren't they. And I think I'll make up for them later on in the mix.

PS: I've always have and will love Peggy March IYLM 🥴
