Sharing memories on Sunday Morning With ...

Kiki Dee, Elton John and Rosko: 01 Jan 1976

In a couple of weeks time, I'll be with you for an extra hour on Sunday mornings, as BBC Radio Scotland launches it's new series, Sunday Morning With... It's all very exciting and I trust you're going to keep me company as well. I'm hoping you can keep your suggestions for songs and music coming in - especially those that are a wee bit special for you - the ones with a story attached.

It can be funny, it can be sad or poignant and it can just be indicative of a period in your life that meant something to you. I have rather a long list, I'm afraid, but one song that always gladdens my heart is Elton John and Kiki Dee's "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" which reached No 1 in the charts in the summer of 1976. For those of you who can remember way back then, it was one of the hottest summers on record - certainly the hottest I can remember - and I was working in Inverness at the time.

That song was played endlessly at discos, as they were called then, blaring out from car radios and shop stereos - and every time I hear it, I'm transported back to one of the best summers I can recall. The tar was melting in tiny bubbles on the road, dancing was the new sport and balmy summer nights stretched ahead of us like some wonderful adventure - even if there was another year of school to complete. Happy Days and I wouldn't change a thing about that time...and worryingly, it feels just like yesterday. That's one of my songs - what about you? What song takes you back - what piece of music has a special place in your heart? Let me know so I can include it in our new show.
