May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Just a couple of days ago, it was the anniversary of the release of Sparkle In The Rain. With that in mind, I decided to choose a track from the album for this week’s MMM. The dawn had broke as I awoke this morning. It’s sunny today. It has an effect. I want to be…
In Jim’s post today he talked about The Beatles track Tomorrow Never Knows. Now whenever it gets mentioned I think of this. When it was released, someone left a comment on the Field Music Facebook post saying “it has a Tomorrow Never Knows vibe to it”. When I listened to the track again, I could…
