Second hand songs
Our second hand songs theme came from my mate Laurie who was walking past a house last week and found that someone had dumped a pile of old vinyl albums in the bins. After a quick rummage through the Rod Stewarts and Donny Osmonds he came away with a pristine copy of Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest Hits.

So tonight, why not get on the e-mail and let me know what are the best things you've picked up at charity shops, jumbles or car boot sales? I'd have to say my Alexander Brother's country album was a bit of a find but I am also rather pleased with the album I picked up today .
As part of the 'research' into tonight's theme I was challenged to go off and see what I could get for a pound. Faith, Folk and Clarity by Peter Smith and The Kinfolk was my choice. The wholesomeness of it appealed to me, but on first listen it's so wet it makes Belle and Sebastian sound like Judas Priest.
I'm loving some of the stories coming tonight. Angus in ediburgh has just e-mailed with this:
"As a 17 year old I sold ALL my albums (Curved Air 2, Living in the Past, Yessongs, Harvest. Lynard Skynyrd. led Zep 4, Physical Graffiti, etc. etc.) to get enough cash to buy a tape deck, amp and speakers. Ihave bought some again on CD but nothing can replace the fabulous covers that vinyl came in then - tragic! "
