I see you like Van Morrison @MissKW, currently I m on a Van Morrison journey and play his music all the time (I was in a coffee shop a few weeks ago and one of his tunes was playing in the background and made me feel very uplifted). Here are 2 tunes I m loving atm (if only we could influence Elsie, expand her knowledge of great music, she seems stuck on middle of the road classical music).Yeah, I totally see.When watching the clip I was somehow redirected to another episode of this content creator on dressing well that covered King Charles and his tailors or brands of choice. So I told Namima that my tablet must be on the pheasant wonk cos of the glitch

@Namima btw, just checked and Avalon came out in 1983, when I was still a child, not a teen. So I guess it remained as one of my favorite bands of all time due to listening to my dad’s cassette tapes while on car trips. So my starting influences were The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, Roxy Music, Linda Ronstadt, Joni Mitchell, Janis Joplin, EmmyLou Harris, The Dire Straits, Van Morrison, Serge Gainsbourg, France Galle, Jacques Brel, Charles Aznavour, Renaud, Francis Cabrel, Michel Sardou, Charles Trenet, Sacha Distel, Charles Dutronc, and….. curiously U2. He was also into contemporary pop rock music and U2 was his intro. So when I arrived at boarding school in Ireland on 87 at 13, I already knew all U2 songs released to that date and made soooo many friends in just a few days. Such is life, the things you experience, the things you learn and come to love, and how they eventually come back to you in the most unsuspected of ways. They were also impressed about Van Morrison, of course, but all of us being 13, U2 was more their thing back then that my backlog of US folk and French classics.
And, to this date, Joni Mitchell still continued to be my number one. Her Blue album is just pure poetry and magic.
