Hello and Welcome to my Tumblr blog - Spirit Of Autumn Past. It’s
named after a track from one of my favourite bands, Mostly Autumn.
I’m a child of the seventies and eighties so expect to see lots of
retro music, television and pop culture on here. I have a very wide
musical taste encompassing Prog, rock, pop, punk, soul, funk, disco,
folk, reggae, classical and country. I can and will stray into areas
that could be classed as “cheesy”. I make no apologies for this -
life is too short for musical ‘guilty pleasures’ :) I love Kylie
Minogue and I adore Marilyn Monroe. I love classic Hollywood movies
from the 1920s-80’s so that’ll be up here as well. I’ve been to
a lot of gigs over the years and it’s something I still do.
Sometimes I write about them and sometimes I take pictures so I’ll
share that on this blog also. I support Wolverhampton Wanderers for my
sins and I’ve been to about 60-odd grounds supporting them. (I have
a loose ambition to do all 92 league grounds eventually) so there will
be football (or soccer if you prefer!) up here too. In short I created
this blog as a place to chill out and have fun and to share some of
the things that I like in the hope that others will enjoy them too -
and if you do, then that’s fantastic! I hope you enjoy your visit
here. Namaste,
