Easy Music for Difficult Ears (Spotify Playlist) (1 Viewer)

For those who can get the program, I have joined the listen of rambling folk that throw together pointless playlists on Spotify and recently I've had a small bit of spare time to put some bits and bobs in one fine list - might try and do it on a monthly if folk like it.
Enjoy!!

Sean Flynn is such an amazing song!

A real shame they didn't hold onto that too...
