I recently offered up Free Born Man Of The Travelling People by his good self and the Clancy siblings on the Song Game Thread MM.

They soundtracked my younger days when a family visit was going on, drink had been taken and a yearning for the 'auld sod' kicked in.

Bob Dylan paid attention, did he not?

Females:

Patrice Rushen: A very talented songstress who was also a jazz pianist

Minnie Riperton: Can anyone else reach those high notes?

Alicia Keys : Beautiful girl with a beautiful voice


Males:


Frank Sinatra: I can understand every word he sings. Not an easy trick to pull off for any singer.

Frankie Beverley (lead singer of Maze): Great singer. He could sing a shopping list and make it sound soulful

Maurice White and Phillip Bailey( Earth Wind and fire.) Perfect harmonies and they complemented each other beautifully


A special mention for James Taylor as well. His voice always brings a tear to my eye or a smile to my face, depending on what he's singing

I've never seen the Pixies or Frank, always wrong place & wrong time. I had the same prob with Sigur Ros, until last yr.

I can picture the scene HB. Yes I read makems obituary and apparently bob dylan was a fan. I posted a you tube link to makem and clanceys the Dutchman once. Always worth a listen.

    • You are best going to Battersea and adopting a dog. You’ll be able to meet different dogs and work with the staff to understand the breeds, temperaments etc.  Training is ongoing. If you get a very well trained puppy and don’t continue and maintain the training you will soon have an untrained puppy.  You have to put the work in.  Are you ready for this? It’s a lifetimes commitment and you don’t get to walk away or change your mind. Maybe register with Borrow My Doggy for six months and get to know local dogs. I’d happily meet you for a dog walk if it will help?
    • The Veolia teams that have serviced Underhill for the last few years (certainly before lockdown) have generally been very tidy. A few spillages but not noticeably many, and often from very overfilled bins. I have seen them take brooms to sweep up real accidental spillages. There are problems with fox or cat scattered rubbish from accessible bins, and from food wrappers discarded by passers bye, but that is neither Veolia's nor the council's fault. 
    • Hello We are looking to get a dog of 1 year plus - know how hard puppy training is and want to avoid it! Also keen to know dog’s personality before we jump in as friends have had very difficult experiences with puppies who turned out to be tricky.  Ideally would like to adopt but also open to buying - does anyone have any ideas of where one might buy a dog?  thanks in advance! 
    • I think you have been very kind towards the the council.  And even kinder in your description of Peckham High Street (LOL). Peckham High Street Rye Lane is awful.  I know it is a very controversial opinion   but I am happy that some parts are going to developed and re built.   The dirty pavements, graffiti shops that put their stock all over pavements and racing cyclists make it not an enjoyable place to be in.  In the old days any business would have to keep their premises in good order.   I am much happier being near a simple bit of over greenery or weed.   It is much cleaner and feels safer to be next to.   Some parts of Peckham are plagued by Zombie like people who have fallen prey to substance abuse.  And I don't see the council putting much effort into helping these poor lost souls.
