A good head of steam

If you're in the mood for some cheering music, you might find this piece fits the bill; it's the Copenhagen Steam Railway Galop by Hans Christian Lumbye performed by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra under the late Mariss Jansons.

Nostalgic - and poignant, reminiscent of quieter days, an old favourite here, Slow Train by Flanders and Swann.

Slow Train is one of my desert island discs.

I think it might be one of mine, too.

I have always adored Flanders and Swann. We shall never see their like again.

I have a feeling that Petroc Trelawney has played something recently on Radio 3 by Lumbye. Since it was at Lark's f**t I was not awake enough to pay attention.

BTW, I have enjoyed both pieces of music, thank you.
