Well, it is .......oh, a "mere commoner"? Well, it is mainly from them and from the poorest social layers of populations that we got so many musical presents in terms of songs, dances, plays, not forgetting even the invention of some particular instruments that by tradition always used to belong to the common people, so welcome dear "commoner" Mike! You saw the Johnstons on stage? You lucky man!<br />As to how one can get access to my records, well, you did the right thing, as explained on my opening page, and it's simply writing to me directly :-)<br />Now, you just need to do one last thing: write me again using a valid email address of yours (which remains PVT) and I send you all you need, okay?<br /><br />Cheers, <br /><br />Your Vanessa :-)))CONTESSA VANESSAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02244163625756495042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1093179650524422403.post-49556173630227207702010-03-24T18:28:50.926+02:002010-03-24T18:28:50.926+02:00May I please have access to these albums.

I had seen this Polydor record from 1969, it was weird 'cause the group had a contract with Transatlantic as well.<br />A friend of mine found this "Both sides" on another blog some time ago but says that it's such a dirty recording, you can't even hear the music!<br /><br />Looking forward to get this from you, dear Dame, please don't forget about me <br />Thank you for your enterprise, we really neeeded it, and thank you for not giving up after closing your first blog!<br /><br />ALL the best<br /><br />GURNEMANZAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
