Kiss...marry...avoid
After a night of keeping it real, and discovering which musicians are remembering their humble roots, we are closing our week of themes with a bit of Friday fun.
Kiss....marry or avoid! Easy! Tell us which musician you'd be quite happy to share a kiss with (even just a wee peck!), who you think would make the perfect life partner, and which musician you would do all you could to avoid!
Whose socks would you wash....Kate Bush, Billy Bragg, Debbie Harry..... would you make the dinner for Morrissey or Gaga? And who would send you to the other side of the road to avoid! We'll play one of your trio.....can't promise which, but make a convincing case and we'll be generous!

Musicians? No room for guest GIO presenters, then...
C'est la vie!
KISS:- Bonnie Raitt - 'Longing in Their Hearts' ~ She could teach me how to slide...
MARRY:- Dolly Parton - 'Why'd You Come in Here Lookin' Like That?' ~ Why not?
AVOID:- Nanci Griffith - 'Speed of the Sound of Loneliness' ~ Her voice. AAAAGH!?!

FUN... this theme has all the excitement of a conversation at a Hen Party! However, question must be asked, Does it really matter?
I usually close mine. What do the blog women think of a man that does not close their eyes while kissing her?

Anyway, if you like Marianne Faithfull check out The Vogue Years compilation for Francoise Hardy and some of her 'granny' work - stunning, never heard by English speaking audiences.

The Daughter wouldn't be changing her name to Tofu or Celeriac or anything like that though...and I'm not giving up alcohol!

The version is OK. It is nt really a duet as they don't sing together it's just one singer one verse, the other singer the second verse. I would like to hear the full recording of Ferry as they both did both verses when it was recorded.
