My recent listening choices: Callas singing Carmen, and although I have a few versions of this, Maria Callas has the best voice for it in my opinion. Cat Stevens, Tea For The Tillerman, some of his best songs on an unbelievably good recording of them. Stand out sound from 1970 no less!

I’ve got that Cat Steven’s album too. Good tunes.

In the sticks in Mississippi
1977, Heart, Little Queen. You can just hear the Led Zeppelin influence all over this one. Grungy hard folk rock, with a little of that goddess magic goin’ on.
Probably due to splitting up with girlfriends over the years, I ended up with three of these albums in my collection, ha ha.

I had no idea who Heart was until I saw them in concert in 1976. Loved their stuff and bought a few of their albums, especially liked Dog and Butterfly.

1983- One hit wonders, the Scottish rock band, Big Country, wove bagpipes and melodic lyrics to reach #3 on the UK charts. In the US we inly remember their one song, Big Country. And, if they hadn’t of reformed the group in 2013 and made one more album they would have been one shot heroes.

Now I have the song Big Country stuck in my head. This made me remember these guys who brought the didgeridoo into a new genre.

Now playing Steely Dan - Everything Must Go
Now did you say you were from the Netherlands
Or was that "Netherworld"?
If you grew up in Amsterdam
Well then, I'm the Duke of Earl
These tabs look iffy, but you say they're good
Let's roll with the homeys and knock on wood
