Stuey's News: Roms Feature STILL Happening, More Reviews Planned & More...

Hello everyone!

I trust that you have been making the most of this warm weather that we've been having. I have.

Today, I just wanted to post a quick update to let you know that I have not forgotten about my promised ROMs feature. It's had to slip down the pecking order whilst I focused on getting Easter weekend right for myself. I will still be reviewing the emulators I am using, along with looking at some of the games I've been reliving, talking about whether nostalgia really has coloured my opinion of them or not.

Stay tuned for more reviews too, I'm just getting the content together so will release them as and when I can. In addition, I have had to put my "lifestyle" posts on the backburner for a while, but don't worry because I will pick up the baton as soon as I get content that's worth writing. I'm no longer just writing for writing's sake; it has to serve a purpose.

Stay patient & faithful to the cause!

Off the Scale #72 - My Way by Paul Anka

Hello everyone!

Hopefully, you have been enjoying André April celebration since it began at the turn of the month.

Things have been busy for me lately, too busy for me to make time to update my blog a little more regular than I would like, but it happens.

This time, I want to get to the penultimate episode in this series by celebrating one of my all time favourite songs; My Way made famous by Frank Sinatra yet written by Paul Anka...

My Way



His emotive playing is what captures me so, as I am sure I have said already and I'm hoping that this month I'm winning over more Rieu fans thanks to my "Off the Scale" series.

Coming up next week will be the final episode in the series celebrating the Dutch violinist & conductor.

Stay tuned...

Off the Scale #71 - My Beloved Limburg by André Rieu

Hello everyone!

This is the third week of my André Rieu April celebration and for this week I have chosen "My Beloved Limburg" and, sadly, could only find an audio-only link to this one.

It shouldn't stop you from enjoying it, though...

Hello everyone!

I hope you are enjoying André Rieu month here.

Off the Scale #69 - Music of the Spheres by André Rieu

Hello everyone!

It's April so it's André Rieu month here!

Each week throughout this month, I will be celebrating my favourite violinist/conductor. As you can see from the history of this series, I am quite a keen fan of André's music thanks to his effervescent stage presence. The way he can light up the stage with his demeanour and yet not steal any of the spotlight from the featured artists of his Johann Strauss Orchestra shows to me the true mark of a professional knowing it is not just about them.

For week one in April we are going to be listening to Music of the Spheres...
