Sounds From Home

Along came our broadband internet and so did the wonder and JOY of internet radio.

How fantastic it was to tune into Smooth FM again and listen to some great tunes that evoke great memories and music that lifts your spirit. News and weather, even traffic reports that mean almost nothing now, but I do feel your pain! I suppose they are hardly going to tell you all about the Auto-Rickshaw that has broken down on Anna Salai or the HUGE puddle in Kotturpuram that is making everyone late for school and is causing the whole city of Chennai to gridlock, but just listening makes you all feel not so far away! Granted in the UK I listened to the West Mids station ...but the London version is not bad either and over the years I've listened to all the Smooth FM DJ's in one guise or one station or another.

So over happy was I, that I did something that I've always wanted to do but never had the courage to do....don't know why, it was so easy....I sent in an email and within minutes Lynn Parsons gave us a mention, to you guys, from us. All the way from Chennai.....Ah the wonders of the Tinternet oojamflip thing! Hope you heard it?! Feeling happy happy this evening, with lifted spirit!

Still listening....

"Ooooh , let me tell you now, when I had you to myself I didn't want you around....oh baby give me one more chance...I want you back...ooh ooh baby....all I need...all I want...baby, baby etc etc
(they can sing alot faster than I can type, OK? So a Prize to the first person who can tell me what song that was!)

2nd prize for this one...
"Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone, I hear you call my name and it feels like home, when you call my name it's like a little... it's like a dream to me, oh yeah...

Still listening *sigh* but cut the Xmas adverts, because it's too warm for Xmas, Xmas feels like a year away and sorry to you people stuck on Holland Park Avenue due to a burst water main, you'll get home eventually.
