    New format to the shows. Thought I'd call this Year Zero and start from 001 again! Hope you like it.  Three albums in depth rather than one song from a dozen or so albums.  Gives me a chance to share a little more in depth.  Here's todays trio:   Artist: Ernst Mosch und seine Original Egerlander Musikanten Album: Blasmusik klingt so! Artist: Per & Monica Album: Livets Vei   Good luck reading that in a candle-lit 1970's bedroom! Artist: Rex Grey Artist: Rex Grey's Sing Song Spectacular Double from a Single: Shoestring Theme / Tumpy by George Fenton Note the change of font for "SHOESTRING" ... Never explained by the BBC!
