So, I was driving back home listening to a podcast of Desert Island Discs. The idea of the program is like old people look back on their lives and represent their miserable existence in music.
I realize I can do the same thanks to YouTube.
Holy cow it is impossible to choose but here we go. I could choose another hundred clips but these in some way follow my geographical changes.
Gordon Duncan was the best piper ever.
I had grown out of rock roll until I heard the Red Hot Chili Peppers play unplugged in San Francisco. They were incredible!
I spent 2 years in the 70s in Oran Algeria. This is the music I heard on hot summer nights. Cheb Khaled is the best singer.
The Bothy Band in 1979. Irish traditional music never got any better.
Thanks to Topher I got to meet Neil Young. He has been part of my life since 1970.
The Beatles!
Okinawa! Shimanchu No Takara is like a modern national anthem. Here sung by 10 year old girls.
France is the country that I have spent the most time in. The 90s in France were explosive. It did not last long. Les Rita Mitsouko were the best band ever.
The Grateful Dead.
I remember so well the Stones playing this on Top of the Pops.
Joni Mitchell! God bless you.
The Quiet Ripple Defines The Pond 
No Jacques Brel ?
P.S.
You “met” Neil Young literally or metaphorically ?
Neil Young is a friend. I should of course included Vesoul
Respect (re: Neil Young). Cortez The Killer good choice too.
Vesoul ? Well at least we agree about le Grand Jacques.
Rereading this it is an exaggeration to say he is a friend. We met on several occasions and he might remember me. Peggy- ex wife, would remember me.
Good enough for me. By the way, Joëlle suggested I check the lyrics of Vesoul. I did and I het it.
Interesting. Now what about the book and the luxury item? Which track would you save from the waves if you had to save only one?
Het it?
Sorry, get it.
