.... a little bit in love with..... (insert name here) ...

[standing stone]

There are artists who impress us and elicit responses and emotions which transcend their talents..... and maybe we fall a little bit in love with them.... who does it for you, and what is it about them that does it for you?

At the Edinburgh festival, Sarah Jane Morriss and Antonio Forcione had finished their set but SJM said that she went with her family to see the 'greatest living artiste' at the Albert Hall last November. Then they performed their take on 'Blowin' in the Wind'
Of course it was Bob Dylan she was referring to. I remember hearing his music for the first time thinking it was a bit different and how it grows on you and gets under your skin. Something about the words the rhyming and the meter of it paints such interesting pictures. Of course, critics say he can't sing/can't play harmonica etc but I think they heard someone say it before them and are just regurgitating without being original.
I had some builders in a couple of weeks ago and treated them to a 'Bob Dylan Day'.
'Don't know any of his stuff'.......................
.......
'Oh yes I know this one'

.. do go on - lovely to hear, Hotdrummer!

I don't think I offer any surprises here; I've waxed lyrical before on my huge crush on Marc Bolan in my teens; voices which make me tingle and the love of imagery that lyrics evoke; the power of the almost spoken word; the way music touches us raw..... I think maybe there's something else - I'm maybe still in "Grit" - a bit in love with Greg Lawson for continuing to be such an absolute friend to a friend; together, he and Martyn Bennett have, in a way, beaten death, as I see it. I think that's it.... just makes you want to hug your thanks out!

.. does anyone else have something similar to share? ...
