The Magic of Music

Today I want to invite you to check out some of my music books within my Amazon Bookshelf.

Starting with the second book I wrote in 2020

Book Number: Two

Title: The FantasiesOf A Geriatric DJ

Star Rating: ***  (In my humble and arrogant opinion that is !)

I have always been addicted to music, ever since at the age of ten I began a revolution in my junior school to allow boys to be part of what was an all-girls music class. Swinging through the 1960’s I grew up when all the best bands were playing. In one form or another music has always been at the centre of my life. Late in life I began broadcasting on a now operationally defunct internet radio station where I took the name The Geriatric DJ. In 2019 I started to write an entirely fictional story, a dream – a fantasy, with myself at the centre of the action. I started in early 2019 but set the text aside and simply never finished it. As the year came to its end I determined to pick up the text and finish the story. With the pandemic I found I had so much


time on my hands, I picked up the story and brought it to an end. When I began writing the style was a mixture of bouncy, fun music and personal sadness. When I resumed writing the style changed and I am not sure if it works or not.

How much fun did I have writing this story ?  A bit.

How many of you remember JUKEBOX JURY on TV ? On 13th January 2021 I published an e-book using this title. It is meant to be read by teenagers using their smart phones who will then discuss the music, track by track with their grandparents. A bit of fun for both generations.



With the same format I published on 31st January 2021 MILTON KEYNES A DISCO FOR A NEW CITY where I look at all the great music associated with Milton Keynes.

William Shakespeare gave us IF MUSIC BE THE FOOD OF LOVE PLAY ON. Using this title I publish a third music book on 8th March 2021. Check it out.

  LOCATIONS, LEGENDS, ICONS, HISTORY AND HERITAGE As I write this part of my presentation I will have to be careful and try to keep it   short !   I could actually write a book. I HAVE written a book, two books: Not The Concrete Cows published in 1991 and Milton Dreams The City That Never Was published   in 2020. Of all locations in Britain I think I would be right in saying nowhere can beat Milton Keynes for such a large number and wide diversion of legends. A legend ?   It could be true, it may be true, it doesn’t have to be true but it is the grain of truth within a legend and what it contributes to a legend that counts. Fenny Poppers – Saint Martins Church in Fenny Stratford Milton Keynes is the only church in the country with a firearms licence ! It needs this to store the gunpowder for the annual firing of Fenny Poppers. I am deeply honoured to have been invited to fire the poppers not once but twice. The poopers are fired on Leon Recreation Ground, a park given to the town

DAY TWENTY-SEVEN:  Wednesday 27 th January 2021: Are we facing global annihilation ?   Is humanity on the verge of extinction ?   It could be. This pandemic is a bigger threat than any war man has fought against man. We have had two so called world wars but for neither was the whole world at war. If there had been a nuclear war not every square inch of the planet would have been in danger as we now are. Did you know that scientists in Russia are preparing for the virus to mutate into the animal population. Everything is far, far, far more serious than people believe it to be. The facts are just starting to emerge, some of the facts but not all of the truth, about what happened in China. Never in history has one nation done what China has done. Now we have the evil dictatorship of the European Union meddling dangerously with vaccination supplies and movement. Did you watch the Downing Street Briefing yesterday ?   What was it all about ? Why are we not locking down tighter to

Wouldn't it be wonderful if all cities were like Miltyon Keynes. Wouldn't it be wonderful if Milton Keynes were a city.

2022 will be a year long celebration of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth taking the throne seventy years ago on 6 th February 1952. When it was time for her coronation in June 1953 I was there waving my flag along the route of the procession. Part of this palatium celebration will be to award a city charter to a local authority at present with a borough status. Among them is Milton Keynes from where a formal application I believe has been made. By the end of 2022 I will have established myself as the most prolific writer of e-books on Amazon but at this point in time I believe I am already the most prolific writer of words celebrating Milton Keynes from its birth as an idea in 1967 to the present day, indeed way back before 1967 to the earliest days of time. I believe Milton Keynes deserves city status but if we the citizens of Milton Keynes leave it up to the council and its political member there is more chance of a sparrow flying to the moon ! If Milton Keynes is to be a city then
