Donovan and Buffy Sainte-Marie

Even if I hadn't given away my wonderful in the sale semi acoustic guitar I couldn't play any music now. I mentioned ages ago that my muscles stop me from being able to play but also don't think the strings and frets would do my fingertips any good now regardless .. so there you go. I wondered if all this had been there when I was young or younger if I'd've bothered to record my own music and put it on a site like Jamendo, I couldn't sing that well .. could manage some songs better than others .. the one I was most in tune with I think was Donovan's "Colours" .. I think his folk songs, on the whole, were nice melodies to sing and easier than a lot of songs. Used to sing a lot of Buffy Sainte-Marie's songs too. Used to have her songbook.


Hello Youtube again


Donovan .. not sure why I chose this version cause the other one is the one people are more likely to know I guess.

Just enjoyed listening to a slightly different version maybe.

Lots of people used to sing it then and there're a few cover versions of it on Youtube now. Here's one of them.

But, I guess I'd've had to've written my own songs and music!!!!!!

It would've been really interesting to've had a Jamendo then and to've heard all the music like you can now.
