Some kind peeps have been doing some pruning at Stowe Landscape Gardens that has opened up this view. This is known as both The Worthies River and The River Styx. As there are green reflections in the water I have decided upon "Green River" by Creedence Clearwater Revival :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Green River ~ Creedence Clearwater Revival ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Or here ~ Green River ~ Creedence Clearwater Revival

This is the grill of a Singer motor car taken at the Kop Hill Climb back in 2013. I figure I can use any 'Singer' for my 'Sight and Sound' link :-) So, one of my all-time faves by Kathy Mattea and that is "A Few Good Things Remain". This track is from Kathy's 1991 album "Time Passes By". Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ A Few Good Things Remain ~ Kathy Mattea

Very, very sad to hear that Glen Campbell has passed away following a long battle against the dreadful Alzheimer's disease. Rest in Peace, Glen. Thank you for all the marvellous music :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Rhinestone Cowboy ~ Glen Campbell ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ And, here ~ Gentle On My Mind ~ Glen Campbell

This is a tree in Stowe Landscape Gardens. Well, it's part of a tree! So, I am tenuously linking this photo to "A Day In The Life Of A Tree" by The Beach Boys :-) I had kinda forgotten that A "Day In The Life Of A Tree" is on their "Surf's Up" album from 1971.

For some obscure reason my photo taken last year in Oxford reminds me of "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and The Waves :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Walking on Sunshine ~ Katrina and The Waves

This photo was taken in Guernsey quite some time ago. But, I do remember the wind was picking up to gale force and a storm was brewing! So, seems apt to link my photo to "Ready for the Storm" written by Dougie MacLean. Performed here by Dougie & Kathy Mattea. Two of my fave singers and one of my fave songs :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Ready for the Storm ~ Kathy Mattea & Dougie MacLean

There seems to be lots of songs about flying so I have decided upon "Fly Away" by John Denver & Olivia Newton John :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Fly Away ~ John Denver & Olivia Newton John

I thought this looked a friendly sole and was tempted to show affection by putting my hand through the bars, But, I then had second thoughts :-)) The musical link that comes to mind is "I Look To You" by Whitney Houston :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ I Look To You ~ Whitney Houston

We often go to West Wycombe Park on a Sunday and this leads to "Another Park, Another Sunday" by The Doobie Brothers methinks :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Another Park, Another Sunday ~ The Doobie Brothers

This is the Palladian Bridge in Stowe Landscape Gardens that brings to mind "The Bridge" by Elton John :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ The Bridge ~ Elton John

This lady is in the grounds of West Wycombe Park and, for me, was an obvious photographic subject :-) I was going to use the original of "I'm Only Sleeping" by The Beatles but the YouTube links I looked at were all blocked for copyright reasons!! So, I'll use my fave cover version by Rosanne Cash :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ I'm Only Sleeping ~ Rosanne Cash

Initially I didn't notice that the shop nearest the camera is called "Long Tall Sally". Now that I have noticed, it is time to link this to "Long Tall Sally" by Little Richard methinks :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Long Tall Sally ~ Little Richard

Rest in Peace ~ Gregg Allman "Jessica" by The Allman Brothers Band is one of my all-time fave tracks. From their 1973 album "Brothers and Sisters". For me a classic rock moment is when at about the 03:43 mark the track flies off into the stratosphere :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Jessica ~ Allman Brothers Band

"Wheels" written by Gram Parsons & Chris Hillman is one of my all-time fave songs. It features on the 1969 album "Gilded Palace of Sin" by The Flying Burrito Brothers (Gram Parsons, Chris Hillman, Chris Ethridge & "Sneaky" Pete Kleinow). I, also, absolutely love the version by Emmylou Harris. So, I am starting with the original version and my next post could very well include Emmylou's version :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Wheels ~ Flying Burrito Brothers

"We Are Family" by Sister Sledge seems a likely 'Sight and Sound' link to me :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ We Are Family ~ Sister Sledge

As it was a beautiful afternoon I decided to go out with my camera :-) This was taken at Startops End Reservoir and "Wheel" by John Mayer came to mind :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Wheel ~ John Mayer

This Peace Pagoda is next to Willen Lake in Milton Keynes. It was the first Peace Pagoda built in the western world. I guess most everyone has recorded "Peace in the Valley" :-) I have searched YouTube and decided upon the version by Red Foley from 1951 when I was very approximately 2 years old. I remember it well :-)) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Peace in the Valley ~ Red Foley
