I had forgotten just how good the Corr's were. I happened across this a moment ago.

Any type of Rap will move me out of hearing range.
I saw him playing with Eric Clapton on his last tour, didn't know he was going to be there and he was excellent, as was the entire gig.I have listened to and loved Gordon Lightfoot's songs for nigh on 50 years. Never mainstream, country/folk music rarely is. He had a great voice and was an accomplished guitarist. Sadly he passed away recently, he was still performing into his early 80's. He left a tremendous backlog of self-written songs. Take a few minutes to listen to this track, take note of the lyrics, simply beautiful.
Home from the forest
What moved me to learn to play? Hankitis!
Love the technology aspect aswell as the originality and talent from the "old man"!
Stairway to heaven in a music store? Noooooooooooooooooooo!Back in 1975, a group of us used to drive the owner of the local music shop mad, when we tried out guitars. The top favourite tunes were Apache, Smoke on the Water, Stairway to Heaven and the riff to Johnny B Goode. Those were the days.
Similarly for me, my brother died the Christmas that The Pretenders 2,000 miles was in the charts. My husband bought me the single as a present and I could never listen to it, it was so loaded for me.Not long after my brother died I heard a song called 'Watching over me' by the Kris Barras Band. Its so distressingly apt for the situation I was in, and, despite being a big, burly bloke, I have no shame in admitting that tears rolled when I heard it live last year.
