I don't know why, but it looks like I cannot get through the afternoon without posting something that links Q Lazzarus and Annette Funicello with Come Back to Camden, so, if that's what it takes before I feel able to go downstairs and prepare my 'lunch' then that is what I must do. Thanks to John for this:
There's also a Bettie Page version:
Thanks to John also for informing me that the best thing ever to appear on YouTube has returned, by which I mean this:
I've tried to download the video clip against the time when once more it disappears, but have not managed it yet. I'll try again, of course, but I'm terribly inept at these things. If someone with more savvy than I could dowload this for me, that would be great. (I wouldn't normally encourage such activity, but until the day Disney bring out a long overdue DVD of this kind of material, what choice do we have?)
I don't know why, but I'm off Stephen Fry at the moment, but anyway, I choose the following clip over the one which just shows the album cover, mainly for the picturesque pond with duckweed towards the end:
Now I shall have my lunch.
PS. Someone very kindly sent me JOANNA NEWSOM's latest album recently. I shall listen to it as I prepare and consume my early afternoon meal.

Robin Davies writes:I found Joanna Newsom’s new album quite hard to get into on first listening but it’s becoming more rewarding with each play. I’ve decided to play each CD repeatedly until I really get into it before moving on to the next one. The title track still feels a little too complex for me. 81 is a beauty though. Nice pictures on the CD sleeves too!

I haven’t really examined the tracklisting yet, so can’t name any nascent favourites. It sounds really good, though, overall. I only regret that her voice has become a little more mainstream. Apparently that’s partly for medical reasons – so I have read.I think I might buy the actual CD(s). I owe it to Joanna, really, all things considered (the discs I have are burnt copies).
