Another superb articulate piece sonnet 18.

I love the American turn of phrase too.

I think on the way from Russia to Wales and Celtic areas, your kin must have stayed in Sunderland awhile.

My mother was called sonnet 17.
:lol:

Now that is the final compliment you will get from me cos I don't want to cheese off an Italian girlfriend.

:D rendezvous.

I have a readymade wishlist. I'd dearly love to hear what the present-day poignant voice, the piano, and the harmonica might do with these. I'd die happy indeed.

Oh looky here, it's enough to make a cohesive album ;)

If There Was a Way / Dwight Yoakam
Long Time Ago / Scott Stanton (Current Swell)
O What a Thrill / Jesse Winchester
Together Again / Buck Owens

November Night / Gram Parsons
Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain / Fred Rose
Another Story / The Head and the Heart
Greensleeves

Forensic Ferryistas,

sonnet18 makes a quality submission but there is one song that our hero has to interpret before he tackles anything else. Of course, I am referring to Richard Thompson's masterpiece; 'For Shame Of Doing Wrong'.

Of the multiple versions he should draw inspiration from the late great
Sandy Denny's cut and, of course Thompson's own version from his 'Pour Down Like Silver' LP

If ever a tune had our hero's monica on it - it is this. Peerless !

Nothing could push the melancholy button harder. It would be perfect for his mature voice and he could sprinkle Ferry Dust all over it.

W2 can just hear the harmonica arrangement as he writes.

Such is the urgency of this request W2 is thinking of starting a petition and having it presented at Studio One.

Il faut avoir un peu de solidarité ?

Salutations,

W2

Okay, so, nine songs then ;) :)

Does he read petitions over the Christmas holidays while off the road, perchance? :D I'm in, regardless of time of year 8-)

Having at last finished hearing the catalogue, I am about to be shipped off to my empty island for reasons which cannot be divulged. I am told that I may take with me no albums but ten songs, a case of toothpaste and a couple of toothbrushes. Once the toothbrushes wear out I'll have to make do with shrubbery twigs fashioned into tiny bundles. Assuming there is shrubbery. But it'll be okay because I'll have my ten songs in no particular order of preference.

Sunset
Limbo
If There is Something
End of the Line
The Same Old Blues
Psalm
In Your Mind
Spin Me Round
Bitters End
If It Takes All Night
India

Yes sharp-eyed viewers this is 10.5 songs. I was able to smuggle India through, underneath the toothpaste. It's so short, it went undetected. Painful to choose only ten (point-five) but then, exile is never easy.
