  1. Hi William, A nice list of mainly unknown songs – I felt like I should put on a suit and a narrow tie, mix myself a martini and get back to the suburbs. Very Mad Men back then – waiting for the Beatles to happen.

    That said, I really enjoyed the Chad Morgan and Vicky Simms (what a story he had), as well as the Francoise Hardy (who reminded me of High School French lessons). It’s all v. 50s-sounding with the jazz, blues, and 50s rock sounds.
    Thanks
