Just been watching him on GMTV. Sounds just like he did almost 40 years ago. Not bad eh. Germaine x

I used to adore him, and he was often to be seen walking down the High Street in Hertford in the 1960's I have a lovely photo I took of him when he opened a local fete Am now going to dig out his CD's, and wallow in nostalgia ;-))))

I like some of Dylan's stuff Germaine, but I always thought Donovan was the best. When my Dad was alive he was a postman and they used to sing the song with the lyrics 'First there is a mountain', when they had the Christmas mail to deal with ;-))

My favourite song by him is' Catch the Wind'....Linda McCartney was in the video before she was married to Paul.

I thought he was very good to, he looked just the same only a few grey hairs, what age do you think he is? must be 60 I think I did'nt mind Dylan but I loved Cat Stevens remember him?

Loved Cat Stevens doing Lady D'arbanville He did Father and Son more recently, with Ronan Keating, didn't he? That was really lovely as well. He changed his name to Yusuf Islam in the 70's I think, and disappeared for a while from the charts Dee ;-))
