Just remembered I was wrong about the number of McTell albums I have. I actually have listened to four (2 LPs, 2 CDs) and bought another LP just before my turntable died a few years ago. In the '80s a local radio station always seemed to play the live version of "Streets of London" on nights when a gentle rain was falling. I wish they still did that.
Have you ever had the chance to hear his newer work? Sand in Your Shoes, which came out in the late '90s, is one of the ones I have. Good stuff.
Of course I don't mind if other people read my journal--I don't post things here if I want them kept private. Interesting that she thinks reading my writing is like reading poetry, considering I never did get the hang of writing poetry. Hmm... I hope that comment was intended as a compliment. If so, I thank you both. :-)
Be warned that I sound different depending on what I've been reading. My energy levels have an effect as well--I'm more permeable when I'm as tired as I am now, more likely to absorb other people's voices (though also more likely to forget all known rules of English grammar). It's not just my writing, either; you should hear what I sound like after I've been talking to southerners and listening to the BBC all in the same day.
