Nick Lowe’s At My Age has me walking on air as I listen to it on my headphones during my lunch break stroll. The track YouTubed above makes me want to cha cha cha down Northumberland Street - the thought of which, makes me grin all the more.
I can’t recall any CD since the Bacharach/Costello effort Painted from Memory that has had this specific effect on me. At the time it was released I was commuting to Team Valley everyday - and I found out that you can waltz. On you own. On a motorway. In a Fiat Punto.
Enjoy. They’re both absolutely sublime.

Never heard of Nick Lowe before but you are right - judging from the Youtube clip we are in the same league as Painted from Memory. Thanks for the pointer, I will have to investigate his music.

I’ll join in the cha-cha down Northumberland St, just for a laugh :-D
