Neil did an excellent version there of Suzanne. Good stuff. I once had a cassette of Neil doing versions of songs written by others and the man did better than the original in most.

As much as I like his Hot August Night albun..Serenade is my favourite. I used to enjoy playing on guitar... "I've been this way before" also.  "And the grass won"t pay no mind"

I believe it was summer 1968, women were burning their bra and walking topless. Young people were moving around freely, many were draft dodgers from the US.

I was walking towards Vancouver's Stanley Park and stopped at a western burger restaurant.

A lady was selling autographed  LP for $2.00 and I was a broke student.

Later,  I discovered the lady was Anne Murray, it might have been her first album and I missed out.

My grandmother in Guyana was Mary Murray, thus forming a link with Anne and her music.

i remember the first time my hubby bought a cassette with Anne Murray (of course this was 1983 and this country coolie never heard of Anne b4) so he wrote out the words after he played the songs and i did not get the lyrics of YOU NEEDED me...also my big GY homan pride was getting in the way of a man telling me to listen to YOU NEEDED me....caz i was ms independent and i did not want anyone to think i needed them...it took a while for me to really get the lyrics

If only we can turn the clock back  to remove our  emotional pain, life would be so much comforting.

On a recent trip to Asia, I photographed a 15 year old girl, who looks exactly like a 16  year old person I knew on WCD in the 1960s. It was also an emotional pain.

But it was not as bad as walking thru Vancouver Stanley park with a Danish date, when I tried to be romantic by saying what a beautiful moon  out tonight. Only to be corrected by my date,  that it was the street light through the trees.

Some emotional pain are hard to remove.
