I've been inclined to believe it never would

Ahh....you do love me

"Black day in July" Gordon Lightfoot.

Saw him live in Victoria last year. A little worse for wear and age, but it was still a thrill to see him. His voice wasnt as strong as before, but jim and I still enjoyed the concert just as much.

I can, but it'll be on more than one CD. If you seriously want me to burn them on a CD then PM me your address and I'll get it done within a week or 2. Alternatively, get them yourself on Limewire.

Several of the feedback comments have made me exclaim with delight - because they're my cheesy favourites too (hidden away on my iPod)!

What's your favourite guilty pleasure song? I have several, but the most shameful is probably "I'm in the mood for dancing" by the Nolan Sisters

(should I get me coat?)

Im only 31 and some of those songs are my favourites as well. I have a older sister and brother who loved many of those songs, so I grew up with them.
