...<b>Calum</b> I'll certainly have a look, er, a hear!<br /><br />More generally, after posting I realised that I had made one unforgivable ommission in the original post. I refer, of course, to the great <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jek6iP6AuAQ" rel="nofollow">Cat Stevens</a>, now known as Yusuf Islam. All I can say in my defence is that I wrote this post over a couple of nights while working night shifts and the more nights I work, the more my brain tends to turn to mush! :-)Francis Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00422476000328664994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911334903016795718.post-37417533963609572992011-01-04T23:57:01.474+01:002011-01-04T23:57:01.474+01:00Francis

I was getting really scared at the beginning that you hadn't mentioned my two favourites but it turned out you had a special place for them.<br /><br />One day while I was out walking with my then 4 year old son in Vancouver, Joni got out of a car and strolled along with us for a couple of blocks. I was close to being tongue-tied but the two of them had a great time chatting.<br /><br />I saw Leonard Cohen in concert once long ago. I'd love to see him again but his current tour isn't scheduled to come in this direction - not even close. <br /><br />Thanks for a great job.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911334903016795718.post-46326012358664735942011-01-03T21:49:39.203+01:002011-01-03T21:49:39.203+01:00A veritable banquet!
Here is a song that I love: ...A veritable banquet!<br /><br />Here is a song that I love: Airscape by Robyn Hitchock<br /><br />And in the element of light<br />The sun reflected from the waves<br />Inshore it spangles<br />The child of air is borne upon the wind that blows across the sea<br />And in the element of summer<br />The cliffs suspended in the heat<br />The air in columns<br />The tiny figures of the world are walking<br />Underneath your feet<br />And underneath your hair<br />Where angels wander<br />I'll wander too<br />Where angels wander -- over you<br />And in the element of darkness<br />The starlight shimmers on the spray<br />And falls towards you<br />Your perfect lover's never there<br />And if she was, she wouldn't be -- and neither, though, would you<br />Save your illusions<br />For someone else<br />Save your illusions<br />For yourself<br />Element<br />And in the element of laughter<br />The quick explosion and the slow<br />Release of heat, you<br />The tide recedes upon the bones of something beautiful and drowned<br />In coral and in jade<br />Where angels hover<br />I'll hover too<br />Where angels hover -- over you<br />Over you<br />Over youjams o donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17315325008175184363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911334903016795718.post-36152851696188180752011-01-03T18:14:22.387+01:002011-01-03T18:14:22.387+01:00Molly Love back! :-) You do know, I hope, that yo...<b>Molly</b> Love back! :-) You <i>do </i> know, I hope, that <i>you</i> are the friend who keeps quoting Cohen's "Halleluja" ...<br /><br /><b>Calum</b> You're very welcome!
