Rob
I'm a bit of a geek when it comes to music. I love music. No, you don't understand, I LOVE MUSIC. So, I thought I'd share with you all my favourite tunes. Everyday (at least), I'm going to share with you a personal fave. Maybe, you'll agree, maybe you'll disagree but hopefully, we can all introduce each other to new stuff. Enjoy.
