Nice new monitor or no -- I still have an error message instead of an inbox. Who's PMing me?!? Aha, it's on its 4th reload, and I think it did.

Argh. Just somebody wanting me to solve an insoluble TTF problem.


edit, two hours later ... I did!

Heh. Look what they've done to my ... face, ma. ;)

Melanie and I have aged rather similarly, I must say! I have a lot less of that white around the face, still ... but it's been in need of a touchup for a couple of weeks now ...

Hi Janey

Watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrpGE9KJ21g

Melanie at the Isle of Wight festival this year, interspersed with clips of her in her youth. Scary to think that I was there this year, and have probably aged this much too.......

Whatever, she was a class act still

Oh, enough wallowing then! Fortunately, Willie isn't my fave, so I remain untouched. ;) Vincent just sent me into the abyss, though ...

I like your mum Janey :)

It may be only an 8 mile move, but it's a million miles from where I once hoped I would be. My heart will remain 'just round the corner' from where I am sitting now, and when I go it will be a further step away from what I love most.

( oh all right that's a bit 'drama queen' ...but not so far from the truth lol)

And if I don't get out of the weepy things soon, I'm going to go hunt up Vincent Black Lightning 1952 and snivel about my lost, er, middle age ...

Well, it ain't No.2, but it is the guy who wrote it.

Buffy Ste Marie is an acquired taste.

But then so is Iris Dement. ;)

Ah Rose, moving. So you need the saddest goodbye leaving song ever.

If you watched the series Northern Exposure, you'll remember the song over the final scenes. It took me a couple of years to track it down for my mum, whose heart it touched. This is that version with the video:

and this is Iris Dement doing it in a duo with Emmylou Harris:

Oh, only moving 8 miles. Well, that's alright, it'll still make you snivel. ;)

Your mother has excellent taste Janey ;)

I like 'Four Strong winds' :)) ( I'm only moving 8 miles 'down the road' so I won't need the plane lol...but I just thought of a song >>>>>> brb

Rose sounds like she's going somewhere maybe?

Maybe ... she's leaving on a jet plane.

Okay, John Denver wrote it, but he isn't a girl.


Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high ...

I didn't pay attention to the charts, Flo67. ;)

Around 1970, I lived in a big mansion with 16 or so other hippy students, and several of the boys would spend their student loans on stereos and records, so I didn't have to go looking for my music! We even had Rocky Racoon living in the basement.
