CASABLANCA was released 82 years ago this week. One of the biggest and most iconic films to ever come out of Hollywood, the story behind the scenes is like the beginning of a beautiful friendship…

Thinking about the building decorated with what appears to be the midi piano roll notation for “The Flintstones” theme

The folk at @musio have kindly allowed short-term free access to their Musio VSTi and organised a composer contest too. The main restriction is that only Musio can be used to produce a clip like this.

I may not have got through to the final of #SPFBO 9, but I'm forever grateful to @LynnsBooks and @critiquingchem for making me a semi-finalist and for giving Twicetime such wonderful reviews. 🙏

ALT Description reads: This young lady is truly a gifted author. She can make you laugh out loud and weep buckets all from the same page. My husband went without meals for several days, as I honestly couldn't put the books down! (Absolutely true). Description is followed by three heart emojis.

Thank you Stanground, Peterborough!
Lovely to meet the customers & staff of the Woolpack pub in the village.
We did a song live on the radio this morning & found out how an old piano has brought punters back to the bar.

Had a couple of knock-backs lately so I'm very happy that my short story 'I Never Thought' made it onto the BBC - with me reading it!
It's on the link below about 46 mins in. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0fxy3…
Many thanks to @LouiseOnAir for choosing it for @BBCUpload on @BBCCambs.

Another massive loss for #BBC #localradio because of the disastrous cuts. Cambridgeshire through and through, listener favourite and all-round good guy calls it a day with @BBCCambs
Go well, Jezza. Onwards and upwards, my friend. x

My day is made! Happy author 😊.

I chuckled throughout! I haven't read a fantasy novel that carried such humor and fun! It was refreshing... A welcome palate refresher after so many darker fantasy reads.

In 1965 my grandmother and my ex-pow step-grandfather set out from Cambs and drove across Europe - across the Iron Curtain - to visit his village in Transylvania.
The only record of that trip is an old box of slides, I’ve finally got round to converting into digital pics…

As @WessnerCharles has said Pratchett, I'd say if you like TP, you'll like this.
Building a bodyguard to kill your aristocratic niece’s vengeful ex-husband? Easy for a witch, but it all rather depends on what the butler brings back from the cemetery. . . amzn.to/3hnMSD9
ALT Promotional poster showing the cover for Twicetime, a novel by Carol Carman, which has a lamb's head resting on a werewolf's head. Around it are very favourable reviews, comparisons to Terry Pratchett and hints at what's in the book, e.g. a twist on the Frankenstein legend, a love story, feisty women, life or death battle, castles and swords, tea and biscuits, lust, greed and revenge, an angry scientist, booze and sex, tea and biscuits and the Lamb and Werewolf (a pub).
