Long - And You and I (Yes) 10.42 - My favourite song!! First time I heard this song was in the Sailors Arms, Newquay, it was on their juke box, someone put it on and I loved it. I made sure the full length version was played every night in that pub for 4 weeks....twas the summer of '76!!! Short - Lazing on a Sunday afternoon (Queen) 1.07 - Just makes me smile!
The end. The Doors When the music's over. The Doors. Matty Groves. The Fairport Convention.
Was going to say When the Music's Over for my selection. My favourite version is the one on Absolutely Live......used to listen to it when getting ready to go out for the evening in my late teens.
Big fan, mate. Water No Get Enemy is one of favourite songs ever. The best Uber cab ride I've eve had, I ascertained the driver was from Nigeria and when I mentioned Fela Kuti, well, we ended up singing call-and-response Fela Kuti songs all the way. Turned out he'd seen him four or five times and had a vague distant connection with Fela's family.
