It is amazing. On some of the songs, Bruce sings as though he is channeling Roy Orbison, really incredible.

Little did we know then that Music with Marian would be one of the longest running prompts, with 63 posts over the years! Thank you so much for reminding us that all good songs are poetry and all poets are singers. I loved each well-chosen song you asked us to consider from a lyrical point of view.<br /><br />I will miss this prompt, and your presence here, more than I can say.<br /><br /> Kerry O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08963325944091034585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-51100536543494727342019-12-16T00:56:58.099-06:002019-12-16T00:56:58.099-06:00Got all mixed up hurrying for the laundry.

My "Oldies" stop at '79s and start in the '48s. The latter was when I started driving to school and listening to the pickup's radio. <br />If I write I'll find one of those, maybe before Rock, Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White?
