I always admire solo artists who can write their own songs. I need to update myself

Blame My Daughter

For This

Regarding Slaps and his daughter's choice of music. I prefer the MRT over BTS any day of the week because they offer half price to those over 60. And they don't even check your passport or driving licence to see if it's true or not.

Thanks you tutsi for your info regarding John Fogerty's manager.

Now I understand what this song is about!

all I ever wanted to do was to lay my head in Joni's lap and to have her play with my hair and sing softly to me...

 

and then tutsi lifts his mournful face to the heavens and wails: 'and why haven't I achieved anything in my wretched existence that comes close to that?...'

excellent! excellent!...my folks had this sound track I was a kid...later to remain in love forever with Shirley Jones...

 

 

the magic of Hollywood and Rodgers and Hammerstein...woulda been fantastic to see this on stage with a full orchestra but no dice as tutsi had a deprived childhood...

my crown for a song and intimacy with Joni Mitchell!...

I liked this little ditty from John , from the 2004 album of the same name .

Imagine playing this. Heaven.

 

The same theme as your post Andrew. The loss through war.

A moving song, the last verse breaks anyone's heart.

We've been lucky in that respect in the UK since 1945. 

 

 

 

 

1974: 'yer gonna go up north and work in the woods on loggin' crews? tutsi that's just plain dangerous and stupid...'

 

 

what else was I gonna do? stay in Oakland and bus tables at IHOP? I wasn't gonna get rich in any case...

 

 

It's Sunday, listening to this song from half a century ago that really makes me smile....

 

I would love to meet my girlfriends from that time and perhaps apologise  for my behaviour, but I reckon they will just smile..fond memories for most here, am sure...
