[...] Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Another one for you, Lapsy, not sure if this one made your list? Used to LOVE this song, still do! "Stumblin' In" - Chris Norman & Suzi Quatro https://youtu.be/9a2B2TwKtsM LOVE IT! Thank you, abcd! Actually, it's NOT on my list, so it's a great day for my dizzy dame music list with two new entries. I must admit that the singers' haircuts give me the willies, but of course, we can't judge a song by the hair of its singer, right? :laugh: Yes, Suzi's hairstyle was her signature look, wasn't it, kind of like Rod Stewart. You'll cackle now, but how about I confess I used to LOVE the mullet, thought it was way sexy. Um, I still kind of do. (Omg, did I really just admit to that publicly?) What a nice way to start the day, thanks Lapis Beautiful! I think it's fairly obvious I've always been drawn to the darker more maudlin tunes, I've always been for some reason, sigh.... Well, now that Saga's put it out there, yes, we have her to blame for influencing me. Never thought I would get so much comfort from getting lost in these maudlin tunes. Some of them are just so exquisitely heartfelt, so profound, so meaningful, and so very, very beautiful. Aaah, music therapy, what amazing medicine!

[La...] Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Okay, if we're getting all maudlin, then the Celts offer a wide variety of options. I think I can safely offer my Karan Casey/James Taylor tune, "The King's Shilling". And yes, that's Jerry Douglas playing dobro guitar with a fabulous group of talented UK musicians, adding just a touch of twang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
