May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
“Don’t you have enough images of Jim?” I hear you ask? Erm…NO! Obviously not! Lol And with the number of images Virginia Turbett has of Jim ALONE, that is unlikely to change soon. I have only a few on my STRICT “shopping list” to go. Which will then have brought my collection of Virginia Turbett…
Haven’t watched one of Ellis’s videos for ages. He always just sounds so good to me. Dunno why. He just has a nice voice and can strum along pretty well. Always seems quite effortless. I love the pace of this version and the quirks he brings to it.No hi hat to endure! ?????
