Sunshine Superman

What can I say.

Yeah, yeah, yeah , You can just sit there thinking on your velvet throne . . . about all the rainbows you can have for your own.
Donovan is my Superman.

  1. One of my favorites. If I could only listen to one musical artist for the rest of my days, Donovan would be fine by me. I did comment on your last post but I think it got lost in the Blogger cosmos somewhere. My internet connection here leaves quite a bit to be desired and my scrollery thingy malfunctions a lot on me too. Ah well, I'll have to take what I can get. I love reading your posts and I hope you're doing well.

    Speaking of sunshine, how is your garden coming along? I planted some veggies this year. I'm kind of excited (fingers crossed) but I have so much to learn, first time growing actual food for me, and am afraid nothing will grow. We'll see....

    As I said yesterday in the comment that I'm not sure got through - no creepy hugs, just a smile from me to you. :)

    1. I actually thought about you when I posted this, as I remember you commented on "Catch the wind".
      I got your comment on the prophecy post, and replied, yep it's still there. My scrolly thing is proper playing up when I go to other blogs, it's OK on mine but sticks on a few others.
      Aaah the garden. Nothing happening yet. As soon as the frosts were over we got hit with this rain that just never stops. I'll have a late garden.
      I'm sure your veggies will be fine. I've never grown food either yet, only flowers . . . maybe next year. It must be a good feeling eating things we grow.
      Virtual hugs are good, smiles are good too :-)

  2. I am overwhelmed by nostalgia listening to this. Lordy lordy. This could make me wish for younger days again. Why can't grownups have so few worries as the grandiose ones we had when young?

    1. Yeah, me too . . . I couldn't stop. I had to listen to that one, then another one, then . . .
      Music can be so evocative and bring back so many memories can't it.
      I dreamed last night that I was with Prof Higgins (as I'd been writing about him) . . . and I was young again, carefree . . . In love.
      O well, who knows what's round the corner eh? For any of us. I'm not sure I could cope with all that emotional turmoil again though . . . Maybe. hmmmm.

  3. Another Donovan fan here. I haven't listened to any for a while and you have just reminded me I should. Thank you.
    And home grown vegies are the BEST. They leave the ones you buy in a supermarket/grocer for dead. Tomatoes in particular.

    1. Hey, I thought you might be a fan, he's something else isn't he. I had You Tube on all day, as I worked and listened to so many good Donovan tracks that I'd forgotten. I love it when that happens.
      Yes,I think next year I might ne organised enough to grow some veg, I'd be so proud of them if I did.
      My first comment was from you this mormning, so this is a good way to finish a long day.
      Enjoy some more Donovan and take care.

  4. Did you ever see the footage of the time that Donovan met Dylan? It was funny because Dylan was his idol and Donovan was pretty speechless.

    1. Hey yeah, I think that's the one I saw yesterday . . It was titled Dylan and Donovan and I presumed they were singing together . . . They both sang but not together. They looked so young.

    1. Hi Karl,
      Yes all very well here. Staying strong and listening to some good "choones" ;-)
      Amazing how evocative music can be. I'm steering clear of any music I've "liked" in the past twelve years lest it take me down the wrong track . . . But as my relationship with music was pretty much pushed out of my life (along with many other things) by the all consuming, jealous H, I don't have too much to steer clear of. Hope that makes sense. Take care mate, stay strong x
