If you've followed me recently because I'm in a couple of music Starter Packs, thank you! But please let me manage any expectations - I'm genuinely just a bloke who posts songs he likes, usually within themed 'music challenges', and enjoys other people's contributions. That's pretty much it...! :-)

Welcome! Now, lower your expectations...

Thanks, Paul! Weird about Songlink - still seems to be fine for me...

We Could Send Letters @wecdsend.bsky.social · 1d

I took the same route to them :-)

We Could Send Letters @wecdsend.bsky.social · 1d

Yes, that's a beauty - thank you :-)

She's also recorded with Aimee Mann and was part of Jenny Lewis' live band, among others :-)

According to Dave of The Wave Pictures, Allo Darlin' are 'an indie pop Mötley Crüe' backstage... I can definitely see that - Elizabeth unapologetically said 'fudge' on stage, once, turning the whole venue blue... ;-) @allodarlin.bsky.social

Day 9; Laura Groves - Sarah (2023; UK)

Taken from her 2023 album 'Radio Red', the atmosphere and her grand piano and vocal phrasing make it a song that would be equally at home on one of Joni Mitchell's classic early seventies records.
