I'll find some time to read this tomorrow, but first I'd like to congratulate you on your smuggling abilities. 9 songs!

A fascinating history there! I haven't listened to the songs I don't know yet, but will do so shortly. Well done indeed.
Forgot to say, your mother looks lovely in that picture.

Re: BCB Desert Island Discs.... Quixotica.
The great thing about this series is you feel you get to know BCBers a little better; and this is certainly true here. That's a remarkable family history, and I'd echo Carol's comments above - that's a splendid photo of your mother. Really good read. Thanks for sharing.

Re: BCB Desert Island Discs.... Quixotica.
thanks everyone! it was fun writing it!
it bought back quite a few memories in deciding what to put in... there were dozens and dozens of songs and artists to choose from.. ones which in a way are more representative of the genres and music that I listen to on a more daily basis... but this was more about a few songs that evoke memories from periods in my life.
still.. I do wish I'd managed to fit in one from the stiff little fingers years

Re: BCB Desert Island Discs.... Quixotica.
I've never really opened threads from the desert Island discs because I didn't really know what the whole project was about. Aren't I glad I did. This was lovely. Also, I love Morgen (AND jessye norman), it's one of my pieces I sing, but know I can always make more beautiful. Glad you like it too!

There's been several really good DIDs but this is the best yet, Ms Quix.
And the Donna Summer? - sublime choice...

Quix, that really is a most delightful write-up. Your Mum really must've been one hell of a character.
Is she still alive and if so, what's she up to these days ? Also, what about your sister - what's she more or less done since the '70s ?
Thanks for the fantastic write-up.

Totally agree. Enjoyed reading your story a lot, quix, and the Stevie, Donna and Marvin have been life-long favourites for me too. Cheers.
