30 day song challenge

I found this meme here and have been working my way though it over the past month via my facebook statuses. If you're not a friend on facebook I'm afraid you'll have missed them together with an embedded youtube I included of each day's piece- if you want me to gradually repost them here (that'll bring up the posting count!) clamour for it in the comments(!) or send me an email. Added standard gripe about the term song when it doesn't cover music generally!

  slightly confused/tangled with a great sense of fun

• Day 29 – A song from your childhood - Chopin Waltz in A minor (Geza Anda) - I wrote:

  -well teenage years - no gramophone at home and I remember hearing this on an exchange trip to Paris (April 68..!) looking over the left bank boulevards as night fell - and music started to mean a lot more.

• Day 30 – Your favourite song at this time last year - Gilels playing Bach/Siloti - I blogged this in August last year
