Not bad for an Irish Catholic girl from London.<BR/><BR/>Jen, I hope you got all that coffee off your keyboard.<BR/><BR/>Anonymouses: About the Drifters covers: Yeah, how cool was it that these British artists could do such soulful versions of American soul tunes. Don't get me started on Steve Marriott and the Small Faces. Or, no, please get me started!<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for the tips to the Youtube clips. They're so great. Dusty's kind of music went out of fashion for a long time, but a lot of people are coming to appreciate her now. And what a classy stage presence. It's sad she couldn't have lived to see her revival, but true soul never dies.<BR/><BR/>Kathleen, I for one am going to be pestering the daylights out of the clerks at my local TLA video store until they get in a copy of "Sidewalks of Blood".Dan Leohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01603402268945559679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380232356803921253.post-44930535316965299292008-06-05T12:55:00.000-04:002008-06-05T12:55:00.000-04:00Same magic going on when Arnold and Larry write in...Same magic going on when Arnold and Larry write in the backyard as when Arnold and Dick leap into a painting of a ship carrying Proust and Toulouse.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12306491903311869968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380232356803921253.post-63528585558643205662008-06-05T12:20:00.000-04:002008-06-05T12:20:00.000-04:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qjur3Dt0ijs&feature...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qjur3Dt0ijs&feature=relatedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380232356803921253.post-14962162653748741952008-06-05T12:18:00.000-04:002008-06-05T12:18:00.000-04:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH1XOM-hfcYhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH1XOM-hfcYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380232356803921253.post-55882287313247972332008-06-05T12:15:00.000-04:002008-06-05T12:15:00.000-04:00Try to find "Some of Your Lovin'" by Dusty Springf...Try to find "Some of Your Lovin'" by Dusty Springfield if you haven't heard it.
