I understand what you mean exactly.

Most of my favorite singers are women, and I listen to them over and over until my wife complains.

I love Enya, for instance. Her music personifies my eleven year experience in Alaska, for what ever reason.

If I were ever to come within her view I would simply melt, as you relate.

Enya is the richest woman in Ireland. They call her music "New Age." What the heck does that mean?

I love those little joints like the one in your link. Once I was in one of them with my assistant relaxing after a long week. The singer was a guy with a guitar, and he played Coal Tattoo. We got acquainted, and he wrote the lyrics on a placemat. I still have it, and learned to play the song (after a fashion) myself. The year after I met him he joined The New Cristy Minstrels, a group that I loved. He was awesome.

Blinstrub's i still remember as young kids. taking my girl friend to see louie Armstrong. they us a table up front center stage, one other couple with us. Louie was terrific, and he paid a lot of attention to us.. could be, the girls being attractive young ladies didn't hurt getting the table. g

I doubt that would be possible today, no tip to get table, i cannot remember about reservations or not, we were 18, and no booze. we were the youngest group in the whole place.

what a show!

What a great story, RCRon....Thanks for sharing that! Indeed, those were the days! The Kingston Trio, the Brothers Four, Frankie Laine, Connie Francis.... What an appropriate song to remember her brief visit by-- Among My Souvenirs"
