Episode 100 Part 2 - Terry Smith - The Final Countdown

Terry Smith

This is Part 2 of the 100th Episode of Music Talks, which is also the final episode of Music Talks. 

Five years and 100 episodes felt to me like a good time to bring things to a close. It has been a fantastic, joyful, fulfilling and most importantly FUN experience doing this Podcast, and it is something I will always treasure. 

To mark this occasion, I thought it was time for me to appear as a guest on my own show and I’m delighted to say that my very first guest, Steve Clayton, agreed to come back and be the host of this episode. Thank you Steve!

It will be no surprise to anyone that I had quite a lot to say hence splitting the episode into two parts, both of which are a vinyl friendly 45 ish minutes in length! 

Music Talks was originally conceived as a 'music nerd' Podcast but over time it morphed into something different with many guests not just telling their life story but also being incredibly open and honest about the ups and downs they had faced. I felt I had to honour that in these episodes and do the same. In musical terms my episode contains major and minor chords but of course music (and life) is only interesting when there are both!. 

I hope you enjoy the stories and that even for my oldest friends there might be a new story or two in there. As far as the music choices go these were my song choices for Part 2. 

90's -  Don't Look Back In Anger *-           Oasis 

00's -  First Day of My Life             -           Bright Eyes

10’s -  Long Walk Home                  -           Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

20’s -  The Only Road                      -           Elbow   

* The episode was recorded just BEFORE Oasis announced their reunion tour! 

I say my thank you' s at the end of the episode but a heartfelt thanks to all my guests and everyone who ever listened, you gave me SO much for which I will always be grateful!

To close out Music Talks completely there will be a couple of compilation episodes in October & November and then the annual ' Favourite Albums of the Year' with Steven Routledge in December. 

I hope you will be able to listen to those episodes but in the meantime I hope you enjoy this one :-)
