Visual Treats
Well, for me anyways. Quite a number of photos I hadn’t seen before in the pages of this little booklet. I’m sharing most of the previously unseen (by me) photos within. A few of them have been around before but I just liked scanning them and having a perhaps better copy than I previously did….
Minds Music Monday – 35 Years At Number One
