You have good taste, Lady K! Have you come across their "Long Black Veil" album? Not quite their usual stuff, features vocal and accompaniments by (amongst others) Marianne Faithfull, Mark Knopfler, Mick Jagger, Ry Cooder, Sinéad O'Connor, Sting, The Rolling Stones, Tom Jones, and Van Morrison. I like it... 'Twas the man himself, michelle! ![wave wave](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/wave.gif)

I like it... That's one I don't have, but it's definitely a must get. I like the way they've evolved over the years, but I still have a soft spot for their traditional stuff, such as "Boil the Breakfast Early" and "Round the House and Mind the Dresser." ![smile smile](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/smile.gif)
I don’t really rise and shine. I caffeinate and hope for the best.

Iolanthe it was. I leave you to arm-wrestle Mrs flotsam as to who gets the cigar ![grin grin](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/biggrin.gif) For number 2, think of a little bungalow or small hotel quite close to the beach called -------

2. It was the Seaview. I loved that series. It starred Richard Baseheart and David Hedison.
