Great choice. They go with everything. Pasta & Pizza - are you Italian, by any chance? ;-D As for salmon, hey - you need fish oil.<br /><br />Living in England - pea green with envy!! Tea, scones and clotted cream. Somehow those didn't make it onto your list.

There are similarities for sure. Reading between the lines it sounds as if you played advertising exec at day, DJ at night, wrote copy during lunch, and freelanced the rest of the hours--all a necessity to make ends meet if you worked in radio. <br />thomasrizzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00762315714546553945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-79596758267363572372013-08-10T06:40:35.164-05:002013-08-10T06:40:35.164-05:00Good stuff, Tom.

I did Midnight Express and played J-pop before it was called J-pop. Advertising and marketing, copywriting and campaign planning. Magazine and newspaper articles. Fiction and nonfiction books. Much the same, I figure.ChuckTyrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02609200010767178944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-38921700977552699142013-08-10T00:35:28.623-05:002013-08-10T00:35:28.623-05:00And what a great list of favorite authors!And what a great list of favorite authors!Troy D.

However, I didn't know about the temperamental door problem. lol<br /><br />Keith, the funny thing about the Beatles was that, at the time, even the name sounded strange. I remember being asked - because I was a former DJ - how they would do in the US, and I cleverly responded something like, "Hey, no big deal. We've got music that good and better already." I never again was asked or consulted about the music business again.<br />thomasrizzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00762315714546553945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-83507666382512540592013-08-09T14:03:32.461-05:002013-08-09T14:03:32.461-05:00Great Friday Five, Tom.
