Residents of South Oxfordshire will be well acquainted with the fact that in the past, Collins End was well known for drunken and debauched parties, known as the Collins End Revels.
Well, we are traditionalists. Modern day Collins End Revels take the form of music nights. For many years now (the first music night we had to swap CDs in & out of the machine), we have been getting together with our friends to listen to music. In advance we agree a theme. Each person has to come up with a playlist, usually 10 tracks (but there is a story to this. Maybe more later/in another post if I can be bothered). Then we all get together, listen to the music, get drunk and generally have a good time. Sometimes we have a competition, sometimes not. It all depends on what we feel like. We all enjoy it when we get duplicates - tracks chosen by more than one person.
We have a music night coming up soon. The theme is 'family'. Now, there is a surprisingly small number of songs about family. Usually when I am selecting my tracks a sub-theme emerges but nothing like that happened this time - too little choice. I predict a large number of duplicates this time.
