what an honour Bru!
great shot also, when are you going to post the interview at your cool site?
Dion, looking forward to the film, the actress portraying her really has some of those passionate characteristics down pretty good, lol (but obviously not the infectious phrasings and dynamics) she's gets by with her English versions but her French recordings are the ones that will endure/go on...) i find her and Alys Robi stories intriguing - Celine, i'm available for golf anytime (on your backyard course!)
ahh, Steinman, he along with Elton, Hodgson/Davies were big mentors of mine back in teens - just saw Class Albums goodbye yellow brick road, some great footage of the non-hits from that gem - but Class Albums bat out of hell is a fave, Steinman intro on piano to the title track to start the show takes me back to my first listening of that album, infectious raw piano throughout, love to hear the bedding tracks with just Roy Bittan on the ivories plus ML lead vocals (my taste would prefer the backing vox on the entire album scratched) along with some of the signature Todd tidbits - yes, another ardent fan here, ELizabeth...'you took the words right out of my mouth...' (love that simple clever lyric and catchy hook)
sorry for digression, back to Nana and Gord - we really need to see a Classic Albums episode for the Sundown LP - we requested a GL stamp about seven years ago and it happened so I believe anything's possible when you cross your fingers the right way and hold it long enough (even if it does affect your guitar picking
)
anyhow, Melodynotes, i think we can rule out the Wiseman version
