Tonight, it started with Baillie and the Boys' A Fool Such As I which led to Don Gibson's Sea of Heartbreak. Everyone has covered A Fool Such As I but I think Baillie's is the best. Strangely, I could find no one who out-did Don Gibson's Sea of Heartbreak.

I knew I had heard that song somewhere but a devil of a time remembering where, until it hit me. "The history teacher!"

Johnny's Got a Boom Boom, Imelda May.

I'll be up for awhile getting deeper and deeper into this fugue state. No more posting but if you want to join me meet me in Morocco ...
