My sister is Donovan's greatest fan
and a few years ago I took her to see him perform.

We sang along, she swooned, and I insisted on hanging around to meet him afterwards.

He didn't keep us waiting long and was charm itself when he did roll up. I told him, 'This lady has been a fan of yours since your very first single!'

Donovan acted suitably flattered and graciously signed our tickets, posed for a photo and gave Sis a kiss. She was awestruck - good job I was there to do the talking - and was floating on air for at least a week.

So Sis didn't have to make any effort at all to meet her hero except wait 40 years for her baby sister to grow up!

Steve Hillage's cover of Hurdy Gurdy Man
on Live Herald has a fucking unbelievable guitar solo on it. The Butthole Surfers' cover does not, but is all kinds of fucking superb too.

Mellow Yellow is gay.

Hope this helps.

*duly noted*
although I can't see Sis checking out the Butthole Surfers any time soon.
