My older sister had a poodle skirt!
And I did have crinoline petticoats
early on . . .
I had completely forgotten . . .
I felt like a little ballerina in mine,
and was sorry to see them go . . .

in your red felt poodle skirt!

I had a bright pink circular felt skirt with little black beads all over it. I think my Sister made it. Then came the many layered net petticoats that had to be starched!

Then comes this song, much beloved by me as a teenage rock & roller!! and I feel much better now.

I can see you now,
dear Jude,
whirling around the kitchen
in your red felt poodle skirt!
(poodle skirts were just a little before my time,
but not Jerry Lee)

I agree with you Joe....she's got a unique voice. Funnily enough I was listening to the Cat Stevens version only a day or two ago on YouTube!

Talking of old songs that help, here's Lizz Wright's version of Cat Stevens favorite of mine. She's my current most favorite singer, and I think she'll stay there. I think it's a lot to do with how comfortable she is being her. I can't think of another singer who has a voice like hers.

....forgot to tell you, the girlfriend called the floor "a disgusting mess" and I wanted to reply, "Oh, and are you going to clean up the disgusting mess you left in the kitchen?" (meaning the array of dirty dishes, pots and pans and general messiness from the night before) but I didn't say a word.

I can vouch for the transformative power of music!!!

This morning I had a 'rude' awakening because my dog had had an accident and I was ordered to "wash that floor, don't leave it like that." by my Son's girlfriend. (I ask you! )
So......in my own time I put on a Rock & Roll album and set to work on the floor. I was REALLY angry.

Then comes this song, much beloved by me as a teenage rock & roller!! and I feel much better now.

i dont know whether anyone like this and im not much up on youtube, but has anyone heard f the song you raise me up? - alot of people have sung it recently, but my favourite is Josh Groban, and i can feel the power of the song and the words which to me are to be sung to God. it is beautiful and helps me to pray when im struggling coming into Gods presence.

Looking at the list of people who have sung Nature Boy, I think it's probably Ella Fitzgerald I remember. I seem to remember it was a woman.
