I'm not a religious person so I don't know if I could have come up with a link between 'Psalm 93' and Keble College. But, on YouTube, I found 'Psalm 93' performed by the Keble College Chapel Choir. So, that seems like a logical link for 'Sight and Sound' to moi :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Psalm 93 ~ Keble College Chapel Choir

Obscure link time again :-) A is for JANE AUSTEN B is for THOMAS BODLEY C could be for the young lady who could be a COUNTRY GIRL Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ I'm Gonna Be A Country Girl Again ~ Buffy Sainte-Marie

And, there's more.....from the Archives :-) Clearly, the guy is telling the gal a story and this leads to Billy Joel's "Tell Her About It" performed here by Elio Pace on 'Weekend Wogan' in 2010 when Elio was Terry's Musical Director. I feel very privileged to have seen Elio with his 'Big Band' and playing piano with 'Albert Lee and Hogan's Heroes'. Also, being at the four sold-out "Billy Joel Songbook" concerts that Elio and his Band have done at The Stables, Wavendon, Milton Keynes between 19 April 2014 and last Saturday night :-) I think it is fair to say that Elio is one of our (Helen & I) very favourite live performers. Roll on September 2017 :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Tell Her About It ~ Elio Pace

Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) Another shot of 'D80104' so that I can use an obscure link for 'Sight and Sound'. And, even by my standards, this link is pretty obscure :-)) The song "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down", written by Robbie Roberson, talks of the Danville train. This is not the Danville train but it is a train. The original of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" by The Band is one of my absolute all-time fave tracks but I do very, very much like Tanya Tucker's version :-)) Somewhere I still have one of those VHS Video tape thingies with this concert on it and I seem to remember it was from 'Church Street Station' but, I stand to be corrected :-)) Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down ~ Tanya Tucker

This is All Souls College in Oxford and although it wasn't photographed at night it reminds me of "All Soul's Night" by Loreena McKennit :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ All Soul's Night ~ Loreena McKennit

Time for a candid :-) Some softness was applied using the FREE Nik Software package. I'm sure this lady is texting her boyfriend saying "I'm Thinkin' About You " Hence my 'Sight and Sound' link to "Thinkin' About You" by Trisha Yearwood :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Thinkin' About You ~ Trisha Yearwood

Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) I thought this was a bit of a 'mystery train' cos it didn't appear to have a name. But, I guess 'D80104' is its name :-) But, sticking with my original thought means I can link this shot to "Mystery Train" by the Band with Paul Butterfield.....methinks :-) Duet vocal with Levon Helm. Added to ~ Sight and Sound: Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Mystery Train ~ The Band with Paul Butterfield LOUD or Off :-)

To moi the obvious 'Sight and Sound' choice is "We Don't Talk Anymore" :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound: Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ We Don't Talk Anymore ~ Cliff Richard Or here ~ ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ ~ We Don't Talk Anymore ~ Cliff Richard

Another photo from my archived Oxford 'A to Z' shots and a further obscure link for 'Sight and Sound' follows :-) I is for IRIS GERMANICA J is for JAMI K is for KAFKA Equally J could be for JOLENE :-) I have watched the intro to Jill's video a few times and surely the guy didn't say that :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound: Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Jolene ~ Jill Johnson

I'm pretty sure this was taken in Highcliffe so I'm sticking with this thought :-) Anyway, back on 3 April I do remember there was a chilly wind blowin'. This, of course, leads to "Chilly Winds" by John Stewart :-)) .....one of my fave tracks on John's 1973 album "Cannons in the Rain". "Chilly Winds" was written by John Stewart and John Phillips of the Mamas & Papas. Added to ~ Sight and Sound: Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Chilly Winds ~ John Stewart

Part of the Bodleian Library in Oxford. The song that comes to mind is "Library Song" by Tom Chapin :-) Okay, all together now ~ "Saturday morning and the rain is pouring Dad worked late last night, he's in there snoring Same old stuff on tv.....boring! So what if I can't go out and play I know what I'll do today I'm going down the library Picking out a book, check it in check it out Gonna to say hi to the dictionary Picking out a book, check it in check it out......................." Added to ~ Sight and Sound: Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Library Song ~ Tom Chapin

One from the Archives and a pretty obscure link for 'Sight and Sound' methinks :-) D is for DANTE E is for EUCLID F is for FIRST FOLIO SHAKESPEARE G is for GUTENBERG BIBLE...I think :-) H is for HOOKE Of course 'H' could equally be for Neil Young's "Heart of Gold" performed here by Serena Ryder & Lior :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound: Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Heart of Gold ~ Serena Ryder & Lior

Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) A window in Brasenose College, Oxford that I'm sure is a "Window on the World" :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound: Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Window on the World ~ John Hiatt & The Goners

Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) I have previously used the original colour version of this shot but I am now using this toned version. The 24-litre Napier-Railton is about to be 'fired up' in readiness for its run up Kop Hill. This, of course, allows me to link my photo to "Fire It Up" by Johnny Reid :-) Again 'Sight and Sound' has introduced me to more wonderful music :-) My previous upload was linked to "Picture Of You" by Johnny Reid. Larry (thank you, Larry) also gave me a link to "Today I'm Gonna Try And Change The World" by Johnny Reid ~ www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2ACmJPhz3Q Another fantastic track! If the YouTube comments and my research is correct the other guy in the "Fire It Up" video is Alan Frew of Glass Tiger. More new music to check out :-) I don't know the name of the lady singer but I think I may be falling in love :-) I have watched the "Fire It Up" video about twenty times in the last couple of days and my boppin' about has pretty much worn my chair out :-)) Added to ~ Sight and Sound: Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Fire It Up ~ Johnny Reid

Many, many, many, moons ago I was a member of the Aylesbury Police Camera Club that then became Stoke Mandeville Hospital Camera Club. I wasn't a policeman or a doctor :-) In the days of APCC we had regular portrait sessions and it is likely this shot was taken at one of those sessions. The original is on a colour slide. I am in the process of clearing out lots and lots and lots of slides. I have memories of taking slides that were quite successful but clearly my memory is somewhat rosy 'cos in truth most are pretty rubbish! Already hundreds and hundreds have gone to recycling :-) I have come across a few though that I think are worth saving and I am scanning these. This is one such scanned slide and I have now applied an 'Old Photo' effect plus some noise reduction using Nik Software. It disappoints me to say that I do not remember this ladies name. My 'Sight and Sound' link is to "Picture of You" by Johnny Reid. Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Picture of You ~ Johnny Reid

Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) My previous post had a link to "Clouds" and I was a little confused as to whether it was a Bread track or a David Gates track. Karen and Mick sorted out my confusion.....thanks peeps :-) Karen also gave me a link to the David Gates "First" album from 1973. On this album there is a track called "Sight and Sound". This was big surprise :-) But, of, course, I always knew that our 'Sight and Sound' Group was even more famous than I realised :-))) So, I figure I can link any of my photos to David's song :-) This is another shot from within the Blavatnik Building. Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Sight and Sound ~ David Gates p.s. there are two peeps in my photo (probably easier to see when viewed on black) I'm sure the guy on the left is waving at me :-))

Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) Oxford 'Open Doors' and another shot taken inside the Blavatnik Building. Well, looking out actually :-) Linking this to "Clouds" seems sensible to moi :-)) I don't recognise this as being on a Bread album and I was wondering if it was on a David Gates solo album? But, no amount of searching the Internet has made this any clearer to me :-) Perhaps one of my 'Sight and Sound' peeps can help here, please :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Clouds ~ Bread/David Gates

Added to ~ Sight and Sound I've been wanting to use "Universal Soldier" by Buffy Sainte-Marie and then I remembered that a while ago I took a shot that I could use. They say the best camera is the one you have with you :-) Back in June I was shopping with Helen in a local town and I grabbed a few shots of this monument with my iPod :-) Job done methinks:-) And, two live performances that choke me up. ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Universal Soldier ~ Buffy Sainte-Marie ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ And, here ~ Universal Soldier ~ Buffy Sainte-Marie
