Do you like good music? (yeah, yeah)

Apologies to my faithful readers out there, been away for a weeks break so haven't got around to blogging. Just been reminded that a group of us are going to a soul night next week, should be good fun. This made me think that looking through my cd collection I have a vast number of soul cds, mostly compilations, but stuff that I wouldn't have dreamt of buying when it was out first time around. I was very happy to go clubs and listen to the music, but I would never dream of buying it and listening to it at home, I was strictly a guitar band man. I think the only soul music I bought was Stevie Wonder who was hip enough then for me to get away with. Now I can sit and listen to it for hours, maybe it's just a nostalgia thing and it brings back memories of some great times, or maybe it was great to begin with but I just didn't appreciate that it was good music to listen to as well as dance with.
RIP then, Ronnie Hazlehurst. He was a bandleader who wrote many tv series theme tunes e.g. the Two Ronnies. However, the most interesting fact that has come out after his death is that he wrote the theme to Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em, and the main melody (sounds like it's played on a recorder) is actually morse code for Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em! Honestly, it's true! How clever is that?
I've had a very good suggestion to do a list of the best music-related films. This can cover a wide spectrum, so let's leave musicals out, shall we?

1) This is Spinal Tap
2) Hard Day's Night
3) That'll Be The Day
4) Flame
5) Quadrophenia
6) High Fidelity
7) Moulin Rouge
8) The Blues Brothers
9) Gimme Shelter
10) Standing In The Shadows Of Motown

There. That should provoke some discussion.
