What are you going to do on your desert island  |
| |
| In the UK there is a long running radio show called "Desert Island Discs". A well know personality is invited on and over half an hour or so they are asked to choose some music to accompany them if they were to be stranded on a desert island. Which five songs/records and one book (you already have the Bible and complete works of Shakespeare) would you take. Personally I would choose Beethoven's Pastorale, Vivaldi's Four seasons, Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run, Barclay James Harvest's Mocking Bird and Alice Cooper's Welcome to my Nightmare. My book would be a well know children's story, The Wind in the Willows. What would be your choices? | | | | | |

| | Sounds a good choice. Not sure that I have heard of White Zombie. I shall have to go and find some info about them. But the others are a definite goer. | | | |

| | This is a tough one, p1ke. Hmmm. Okay, 1. Harold and Maude Soundtrack by Cat Stevens 2. Emerson, Lake & Palmer Works Volume I 3. Camelot Soundtrack 4. Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd 5. Wavelength by Van Morrison. ANd the book? Oh my, that's the hardest one. Wow, too hard. But maybe 'A Prayer For Owen Meany' by John Irving, or maybe 'Tales of Burning Love' by Louise Erdrich or 'A Child's Garden of Verses' by RL Stevenson. I can't choose just one book, no fair, p1ke. Gotta let me take at least three, ok? | | | | | | |

| | If I had thrown a film in it would have been H&M. We are so alike there Nova. A Child's Garden of Verse for me. Perhaps I can swim over and you can read a poem or two to me!! | | | |

| | Good Morning My Friend, Well firstly my book would have to be "How to survive on a deserted Island" I think I would know the basic's but I need to know how to trap animals, because I cannot live on FISH alone. And gee everytime I ate fish I would be thinking about you. hehehehe My music I am not to sure of. It would need to be something bright and cheery. But wait, how am I going to be able to play my music on a deserted island. | | | | | | |

| | Good morning to you too Goodie. Although it is still 10.15 pm last night here!! Good choice of book. Very practical. You'll have a wind up gramophone/cd player/tape machine/iPod thing to play your music on. But bright and cheery sounds excellent. | | | |

| | As I already have the Bible I would probably choose to take 'The Complete Mysteries Of The Bible' by Lionel Fanthorpe to give a different persective on it. Music is a difficult one but 1. Vincent by Don Mclean 2. Missing by Everything but the Girl. 3. Rebel Yell by Billy Idol. 4 Grace by U2. 5. Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin. Ellie :D | | | | | | |

| | I don't know the book at all. Is he in the Richard Dawkins school of thought about religion and God? I like the music. I toyed with Stairway to Heaven myself. I once went to a wedding where it was played on the organ. Sounded a little odd. | | | |

| | Lionel Fanthorpe is better know for writing the most Sci-fi and horror books in the 1960's. These days he is a reverend and many people know him as the Harley riding leather jacketed man on Channel four Fortean programme. Richard Hawkins I think is maybe more scientific in his views whereas Lionel investigates all forms of supernatural or paranormal whilst having his own strong beliefs in God which makes him quite a character. He writes a lot of books with his wife Patricia now also. Ellie :D | | | |

| | Very different to Dawkins then. He believe that God is a handy invention to keep the Masses down and that religion is all rubbish. He puts it a little more eloquently than that. I have seen Fanhope on TV once or twice. Thank you Ellie. | | | |

| | Music: Wagner's Die Walkure for those periods of high emotion at being stranded on a desert island. Beethoven's Ninth Symphoney with the fourth movement sung (Ode to Joy) for love of classical music and musicality and pleasure at being alive. The Beatles White Album for the memories associated with it to keep me amused. Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Album for the times I'm smoking palm fronds and getting high. Diana Krull's Album to relax with around the night fire. Barclay James Harvest's Mocking Bird too, to remind me I'd rather be in England. Favorite book: Watership Down by Richard Adams because you just can't beat a good story about British rabbits! LOL | | | | | | |

| | Yep Wagner. I hated him for years. Such an angry man. I had to learn a piece of his for my Piano Graducation (8 years of lessons) Recital. It was torture. But later years and Morse, just Morse, changed my attitude and now he thrills me rather than makes me want to take a sledge hammer to my piano! LOL | | | |

| | Since I am in the desert, be sure I need more encouragement to go out of it. I will choose the song called "Hero". I will pick the book Robinson Crusoe with me. As it's a book which can give me more hopes. I shall know how to survive it by myself. It's like a mental faith. | | | | | | |

| | Albums are fine too. I think that mine might well be albums too! T'Pau. I haven't heard of her/them for ages. Great selection methinks. Duran Duran reminds me of the night before, the night before I got married. My wife never used to put her albums in their sleeves. Her brothers and I banned from touching our albums - these were the days of vinyl - but that night, my best man and I sat up listening to Duran Duran, it was the least scratched record, and putting them all back where they belonged. LOL. | | | |
