Nice album but…
after being spoilt with so many tone poets i get the urge to purge my vinyl collection of some pressings which probably aren’t worth waisting good Kandid time on
Moving on from Mechanical Bull to the Boss and Darkness on the edge of Town. Again, seriously good rock and roll.
It’s been ‘one of those weeks’ so far, culminating in a day that I hope I will be able to forget! Needing something to chill to and have gone for Agnes.

Our thoughts are with you Steve
You must be hurting like hell…words are hard …but there will be better days …just not now.
I saw Agnes on the Aventine tour at a Church in Hove
She was superb just her and two other ladies playing various instruments.Just a brilliant venue with acoustics and atmosphere
Here are some photos I took
Warm wishes Ian
Many thanks, Ian. That looks like a wonderful venue for her music to be played in. I’m sure it was a fine night. Cheers. Steve

Keys to the Kingdom popped up in a random Roon selection based on Folk/Country. Beautiful voice, no instruments to support… think I’ll have to take a listen to the album.
Don’t know the detail of your terrible week but I wish you the very best.
