(2,560 posts)in the 70s (Richmond Records in Richmond Arcade - long since gone). Adelaide was a bit of a bye-water in those days (long before Amazon) but I was a bit of a regular and the people there were excellent, knew my tastes and made suggestions to me. I knew about Sandy, didn't know about Ian (or even about the Fairport connection) until they introduced me. But Richard's tracks always stood out. Importing LPs was very expensive in those days. But I did buy one and loved it. Can't remember the name and like a number of other albums and books, it suddenly left home without saying goodbye. Don'tcha just love friends and family??
And Mimi was an exceptional talent in her own right. A voice to die for. And she was a great activist. She left us way too soon as well.
Joan Baez performed in Adelaide many years ago. One of my mates handed her a note inviting her to an after-show party at his place (NOT that kind of party, HD!!!). She didn't turn up, but we forgave her.
And that other guy...did you say Steven Seagal? Doesn't look like him...Nah, just kidding. It was great to see Pete on Colbert a few months ago, still going strong.
