What would you like to see on the next Theme Times?
As you probably know this is the new feature which took over from Theme of the Week and The Greats of our Times which featured films and singers, groups and bands!
So let me know your choices below in the comments section below, and l will dedicate to you your choices.
Be this actors, actresses, film themes or musical eras or bands and groups you personally would like to see featured for you personally.
Check out who we have already had ….
Hammer Horror, Monty Python, Basil Fawlty, Ripping Yarns, Dr Who, Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen, Al Stewart, Led Zep, Free, Rory Gallagher and CAPTAIN SCARLETT.
Okay doky, well there is quite the selection there 🙂
We have covered some of these:, you might find these of some interest 🙂

Plus we did a 1 -9 Top Horror films, which included quite a few of the Hammers as well – l will have to check that up and see how many Hammers were included.

But the rest are cracking selections – so thank you – these’ll be great fun 🙂
Singer – Gordon Lightfoot
Actor – Sandra Bullock
Comic – Steve Martin
Genre – impressionists like Rich Little
Good suggestions Paula, l did Sandra Bullock, mm, that sounds wrong… l had Sandra done, nope that still sounds wrong — better still here is Sandra 🙂

But l will most assuredly add the other suggestions in 🙂
Oops missed it before! Thanks for letting me know.
Pleasure 🙂
I second the Month Python and Led Zeppelin!
How about some James Taylor for singer? As a tangent to your animated movies you could do just Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki… I’ll think of some other stuff along the way. I need more coffee and it was an exhausting weekend.
Okie dokie, noted, however you might enjoy this … displayed these guys yesterday …

Thanks! You even included one of my favorites, The Rain Song. I’ve been a Zep fan for 40years. To me, Robert Plant is the sexiest man alive. Not necessarily the most attractive, but definitely the sexiest!
Sorry, TMI? LOL
Ha ha, no, you carry on and TMI your way where you need to 🙂
Oooh, I thought of something else, Bing & Bob “On The Road…” movies👍
Okie dokie Grandma, l will have a looksie into that genre for you 🙂
A big band theme featuring the likes of Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman et al.
Seeing as she passed away recently, a Doris Day theme, or a Hitchcock theme featuring all his blonde victims (including Miss Day). How about that?
No problem, l did a special Tribute for Doris on the day she passed https://aguycalledbloke.blog/2019/05/13/theme-times-doris-day-tribute/
But all other suggestions including Hitch are totally doable 🙂
Oh, How could I have missed it! Too busy with my spreadsheets 😉
Indeed you were my friend, but you are a working man these days 🙂
Comedians are something I’m interested in. George Carlin, Steve Martin, Robin Williams, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Jim Carrey, Ben Stiller, just to name a few. 😊
Well let me see Beckie … well of course you were the special lady that received the very first dedication last year from the original series The Greats of our Times with John Candy.
Of the list you have all great comics, we only have one, so l will add the rest in and get to them all in good time and each time you so shall receive a dedication – so thank you 🙂
Of the list l have done the great and still missed Robin Williams 🙂

Right well let’s have a looksie here …
Literally just done The Beatles today, of the rest of it …, well there is a lot, but these are cracking lists – many thanks, you have dedications coming up a plenty 🙂
Seeing how you’ve asked Rory.
I would love to read more of your own poems. Just saying 😀
Hey Victoria, my poems come out everyday. But l don’t write new poems every day – l have to be in the right frame to write poetry. In recent times, l have a lot of other things going on in connection to the blog.
I have all sorts of series coming out, but most days the poetry is out between UK Time – 8am – 9am 🙂
I produce a new poem once every ten weeks or so now 🙂
Theme Times is principally about music and film though, so do you have any favourite artists you would like to see ?
Yes, thanks for your reply Rory.
I hear you.
My choice of music is eclectic, dependant on my moods, but I always seem to tune back into Enigma, on reflective occasions. I would like to see your favourites from their songs, please? Rock on Rory! 😀
Okie dokie Vicoria. I agree with the eclectism, l am the same l can favour one minute this and then in the next breath something else .. l will see what l can knock up 🙂
Hey, did you get my email? 😇
The Clash!
Okie dokie Barb, l will add that into this weeks line up, many thanks 🙂
Thank you!!
No problem Barb 🙂
