Issue 21; Relaxed for Winter

Before you get the wrong end of the title this articles has nothing to do with arse in anyway, except maybe where the leather may have come from.  With winter coming the boot is at the forefront of footwear and with lots of styles floating around there is a huge choice.

Issue 21; A 70 Year Old Icon

Issue 21; Get Me A Stetson

written by @coombstw

My music taste is very eclectic and is like a river of lava, slowly moving from one place to another taking on everything in its path.  This is partly due to being a music reviewer for many years so it has bounced around quite a bit. I have moved from pop, rock, trance, hip hop, metal, back to rock, jazz and back again.  I now have settled on liking what I like no matter the genre, but one genre I had never gone near was country, but in the last month or so Country currently dominates my Spotify.
