Just one work

[Dave2002]

Excuse my digression - Mostly 60s British groups

Loved it - though I come from Barcelona - "I know nothing."

Perhaps other "fans" can have a go - jazz, folk, blues - we do seem to have some sort of ball rolling.

Having had my one permitted bite of the cherry, I'd have chosen a selection of 1960s jazz and rock rather different from Cloughie's.

Like it edge, I'd have gone for Caravan - Golf girl, Sylvia good but Hocus Pocus does it better, and no prog list should be without the Moodies Legend of a mind and I'd go for Interstellar Overdrive as my Floyd track.

[makropulos]

Think of a composer. Then think of just one work by that composer.

Example:

Janáček: Taras Bulba

If you get carried away (!!!) try doing it for composers from A-Z, to find 26 works.

I'm currently listening to one piece which I think might be iconic for that composer, which has prompted this thought.
Tell you later - much later.
