This is straight from my childhood - my sisters & I grew up listening to these songs.
Then, as often happens, years go by, things get lost along the way. & Only years later, I came across the LP and as soon as that scratchy sublime sound flooded out of my record player I was straight back there, in my childhood home singing along with my sisters.
Now these songs are part of the landscape of my children's childhood, and that gives me a warm, if not somehow melancholy feeling.
I like this line of continuity, linking my parents, myself & my own children - I wonder if it will carry through the next generation?
(*Please click through to YouTube - the one I selected was Some Velvet Morning - you could choose any they are so beautiful, but the video for this is just amazing X*)

ReplyDeleteHello Laura,
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely gift, isn't it - and now my daughter is getting older, it's her who introduces me to new things that being an old fogey may have passed me by!! XX
