Peter Tibbles contributes the weekly Elder Music column to Time Goes By which appears each Sunday. His knowledge of just about every genre of music is formidable. It has been gained, he says, by sitting at home listening to music. “That's it, really,” writes Peter. “I read a lot and drink wine as well. Oh, I cook a bit so I'll have something to go with the wine."
In the 1980s and early 1990s, he was a part-time deejay on a community radio station for ten years. He was originally asked to do a Fifties rock 'n' roll and country music program. Later, he did a RandB/soul show, a “general-what-he-wanted program," also filling in for the blues, jazz and classical shows whenever those presenters were unavailable.
Peter lives in Melbourne, Australia where he works in the IT industry.

These are a good groups, and some are great, but why did you pick them and not dozens of others? What do the Kingston Trio (folk), have in common with Dion and the Belmonts (doo-wop), and what do either of them have in common with The Platters? And why did you throw throw in the Argyles, a B-List group who were one hit wonders? It's all a big mystery!

I just have a forlorn little request. You put such great music in these blogs, & I often want to own that exact same music. But of course I don't know who the artist is (I'm referring to the Bach post here). When you do one of those, would it be too much to ask if you could name the artist &/or the recording? I'd be ever so grateful!

Thank you for the selections of music and the fond memories of these recording artist. I seem to hold on to some of their records just for memory sake and have Johnny Ray and Eartha Kitt and also Marlena Dietrick singing to the troops in WWII.

Today while I listened to your musical selections, I also sang along... Had not forgotten any of the words to GlowWorm or You Belong To Me....
Did you ever hear JoStafford's really silly "You Was Tim-tation?" I probably still know the words to that one too...I think it was Spike Jones with Jo Stafford..
Music has always been my primary passion...choirs, choruses, went to radio shows in Hollywood every saturday in my early teens..(mid forties).Big Bands and Singers were on many radio shows. Also listened to records, 78's, 33.1/3, 45's...wish I still had my collection....
Taught myself to play harmonica, guitar, piano... Now play an Awesome arranger keyboard...has all instruments and many rhythms....
I really look forward to Time Goes By every Sunday...Keep up the good work! The oldies are the goodies for sure!

Hello Peter,
Thank you for your Elder Music column.
I look forward to it every week and it is like an unopened present for me just waiting to be unwrapped and enjoyed.
Keep it up. You make my day.
