Most of us have at least one song that resonates with us. I was listening to Bill Withers on my morning walk today and thought this song was so relevant to GN I just had to share it. I hope you enjoy it (and his explanation of why he wrote it) as much as I do

I hope the link to YouTube works. Have you a special song to share?

I like that, Rosieroe smile
A song I like a lot is 'Si tu vois ma Mère' played by Sydney Bechet. Not sung, but the lyrics are a message from a son who has gone off the rails, to a friend who's going to visit his mother. 'Just tell her I'm doing fine'.

How do you turn a duck in a country and western singer?

Stick him in the microwave until his Bill Withers.

??. Funny one Merlotgran (though I wouldn't class him as a country & western singer)
