The Somewhat Delayed Song Thread

[Lat-Literal]

Sometimes your 'playlists' are too cerebrally challenging for my iPod - I'd be thinking more than listening!

But this is an absolutely fabulous list - you have an amazing grasp of this stuff ......

Thank you.

You know music.

What you have said means a lot to me.

Don't forget Flanders and Swann's 'Slow Train' with its litany of wonderfully named closed stations, including Kirby Muxlow and Troublehouse Halt.
Plus settings of Edward Thomas's wonderful poem 'Adlestrop'.

A correction to the Flanders and Swan song the St Erth to St Ives branch is still open, and is sung about regularly in these parts as ‘The Baby Train’
