The original (Fleetwood Mac) recording of Black Magic Woman was great, but... along came Carlos Santana! His version is guitar-heavy and a superb rendition. However, it didn't end there. On the Moonflower album from 1977, Black Magic Woman flows into Gypsy Queen, and what a pairing that was! Listen for yourself. it's awesome!

I have just discovered Gilmore Girls! I know, twenty years late. 🙄It is not the kind of thing I usually go for, which is probably why I never picked up on it before. My granddaughters were watching it whilst I was there a couple of weeks ago and I found it really good. I love Lorelei Gilmore. Like me, she is a coffee addict and has a wicked sense of humour.

I see there are seven seasons so it will take me a while.

I have written stories in the first person, but that person could be me, I suppose.

Reasoning-otherwise

Rumer has been compared to Karen Carpenter. It is a hard one for me because I have never heard anyone sing with the same purity as Karen did. However, I kind of agree that, at times, there is a comparison. Do you agree?
