[HairyWombat]

Wombat you must be in OZ , where?
I normally get down there twice a year sometime more often.
I've a daughter I sydney

Yep Bobbo. But on the other side of the place to your daughter.
Thankfully in Covid free Perth.
Living pretty much a normal life apart from a blanket ban on non-essential overseas or interstate travel.
Our "hard border" is still in effect and will stay that way for at least the next 2 months.
Your daughter would be having a much harder time of it. It has been a bit of a mish-mash on the Eastern seaboard.
And I know it is not Friday night but one last Angelina performance for you. :HD:

BTW: I keep typing your name as Boobo (for some reason) so please don't be offended if I miss correcting it on occasion!

[bobbo]

no probs mate ive been called a lot worse than that . keep the music coming .

[WhiteJC]

having just listened to RaySmith's excellent recommendation of Steve Earle and Emmylou's duet reminded me of one of my favourite , though very different, songs...

[spikey norman]

If any of you are into rock you may enjoy Paul Anka's 'Rock Swings'  and anything by Hayseed Dixie.

[RaySmith]

Copperhead Road is a briliant song White JC, tells  a real story, there's  so much in it - and a great, passionate performance by Steve , of course. Great choice.

I was   recently reminded of Steve's  book of his outstanding short stories, Doghouse Roses , about the  types of characters who inhabit his songs - brilliant writing, with all Steve's  usual empathy and compassion for the underdog.
His novel is pretty good too - I'll Never Get out of This World Alive.

And that's alongside all his great records and performances.

[Holders]

Spancil Hill, thank you Ray. I went there once...

[HairyWombat]

Lets get things moving. New round of footy and we are up and about again.

Sassy Morgan:

And sorry again to bore you with my fixation, but here is the sublime Angelina. The music starts at roughly 1.30 if Rosie is not your thing. The ending is quite sweet.

[RaySmith]

Spancil Hill, thank you Ray. I went there once...

Cheers, Holders,  seems an iconic place.

[Dodgin]

LeAnn quite the rocker, like this version.

[blingo]

Dave Brubeck .....The Essential.

[Dodgin]

How about this track Blingo

[WhiteJC]

Kings of Leon - sex on fire

the Police - invisible sun

Mike + the Mechanics - the Living years

[Holders]

Spancil Hill, thank you Ray. I went there once...

Cheers, Holders,  seems an iconic place.

There's not much to it, just a crossroads and a pub. Mind you, it was raining at the time which didn't help, so I didn't go up the hill itself. Perhaps I should have. Next time, maybe.

I have an Irish friend who has quite the best male singing voice that I've heard. We were down the pub one session night with his new girlfriend and he got his guitar out and sang Spancil Hill. Part way in, she started laughing uncontrollably. At the end she said that she loved the song but found the title hilarious. He never sang it again.

But he did sing this (for her) superbly (better than Christy Moore, dare I say?):

[RaySmith]

I was in Kilkenny just over  a year ago, to see Neil Young and Bob Dylan. After the concert the pubs were full of Gaelic football fans, and there was live music - great atmosphere. Previously in Dublin a bloke sold me a poem in a pub.
Love Christie's music, the magic a select few  can achieve with just their own voice and a guitar - Neil Young and Bob Dylan, two more btw-

Christie's covers of trad and modern songs are great, as well as his own material. Here, of Pink Floyd's  tribute to late ex-bandmate, Sid Barrett, Shine on You Crazy Diamond-

With the great Sinead O' Connor

I saw Bob Marley in 1980/1, at the Crystal Palace Bowl shortly before he died, and he played this, a  favourite song, that  is relevant to  what's going on at moment  as reported on the FFC website, Black History Month
