I have been challenged by Xavier Laune. The idea is to list 1à songs that have played a major role in your life. Be spontaneous and dont think about it for hours. The songs must not necessarily be musically significant, but have moved you in some way. Once youre done, you name 10 people who are challenged to do the same. I wont do that, but anyone who wants to consider themselves thus challenged are welcome to respond, its a fun exercice. BB King The Letter (https://youtube/watch?v=ygjHdtV2QvY): First blues song I ever paid attention to. Charlie Musselwhite Christo Redemptor (https://youtube/watch?v=p8xx7MjT-9g): First harmonica song I ever paid attention to, drove me to tears (still does, though not this version). Dire Straits Telegraph Road (https://youtube/watch?v=dd3btVhwr48): The soundtrack of my teenage years, the only song in this whole list I dont own today, but I just listened to it again and it still does something to me. King Crimson Elephant Talk (https://youtube/watch?v=PKIoEr2ZXD8): My (convoluted) intro to Prog Rock and one of the most bizarre pop sounding songs to this day. Dirty Dozen Brass Band Remember When (https://youtube/watch?v=Wrh0diy2k4U): My introduction to brass bands and numerous gigs and butt-shaking moments. Dr John Walk on Gilded Splinters (https://youtube/watch?v=kWvdO3l4_P8): Just a fantastic, trippy song that has stayed with me for years. Barons of Tang Dogs of Rotterdam (https://youtube/watch?v=2B35FBD070Y): A recent exhilarating discovery that you can mix world, gipsy and punk and it still works. Nina Simone He Needs Me (https://youtube/watch?v=boUu-K4SyGw): the soundtrack to my first love. Oscar Peterson Hymn to Freedom (https://youtube/watch?v=QpCJ3fqtsws): The song I want played at my burial. Erik Truffaz & Nya Yuris Choice (https://youtube/watch?v=mOu98RSyTnM): The song that opened up my ears to rap and groove.
