Music again

When we drove up to the farm we stopped off to buy some bread and I was so pleased to see the harpist was back. My first, late, wife was Welsh but it seems strange to see Philippine exponent.
Otherwise I tend to a somewhat eclectic music mix, although here we will stick mainly to one format. After all what could be better than being ill with "White Line Fever"?
Mind you one would have to be affected by something even in the '60s to think that Jimi would have people so unknown as to be regularly asked "Who?" as his backing band, don't you think?
Throughout the years though there have been people who lasted longer than, say Jimi, Jim, Janis or Sid and I salute them.
Kief is naturally my all time favourite, falling out of the tree or not, but although less prolific, being rather idle, I am awfully fond of Billy. Maybe less widespread than Kief but anyone who can do a Morrison song and make it seem right must have something going right for him.
Strange that I am not a greater fan of dedicated dance music really since the music I like does tend to create a hip swivelling mode. On the other hand, perhaps with my shape it is just as well.
But as my liking for Sid implies I am fond of punk and consider that there were no finer examples of the art than "Vic Vomit and the Vile Farts".
