Mike Oldfield

“Dream With You”

Many (probably most) of you will know of Mike Oldfield  who is (to me) the king of “dreamscape” music. His music allows my mind to go pretty much anywhere. The only criteria is that I must have the time, and a comfortable place, to allow me to just “leave” for a while! More recently I came across Sally Oldfield, who is Mike’s sister and who has a wonderful depth of tone in her voice (checkout “Silver Dagger”) however, this Post is about Terry Oldfield! What a talented family! The link below goes to a 10 min track, but there appears to be some technical issues because the track ends at around 6:10. A new track then starts and ends abruptly around 10:00!

I am suggesting you experience Terry Oldfield in the 0-6:10 time frame. Enjoy!

“Islands”

I cannot imagine what Bonnie Tyler must have run into as she pursued a career in singing. Continue reading →
