Hilary James & Simon Mayor - Down The Road I'll Go
and “When Summer Comes Again” from the “Duos” CD, but I cannot find that one on YouTube.

Evokes memories of the Bardentreffen in Nuremberg, Germany. I took a walk to see the preparations of the concerts in different spots of the medieval town, got me „3 im Weckla” to eat on the way home..; passing the scene in front of Sankt Sebaldus, I assisted to the sound-check for the concert of Hilary James and Simon Mayor, stayed for the whole concert and got their autographs on “Duos”.

Simon Mayer would later send me another CD directly from England, against cash payment (by snail-mail) (believe it), as I am not and would never be in hold of a credit card...

There is almost always more than just the music around those artists, whom I like the most.

death metal.

immolation : majesty and decay.

Nice - was listening to this just the other day.

I also quite enjoy Sidewalks and Skeletons.

I'm not a newcomer to LQ, it's just that my old soul became a hungry ghost .

I didn't know them, but they sound good.

Jacques Brel, Céline Dion, Khaled, Sapho, Charles Aznavour, Patricia Kaas on an old sampler-CD from the year 2000.

Forgot Maxime le Forestier.

Pat Travers, Black Stone Cherry, Audioslave, Ted Nugent, Web Wilder, Steve Miller, Metallica -

About anything except Rap OR Country.

Same link as above to Sapho: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YqGcEmEbL0

If she appears to be too French, too Spanish or too North-African, go straight to 57:55 and enjoy some James Brown... might find her too black, though.

Jimi Hendrix = Bold As Love, Castles Made of Sand, Burning of the Midnight Lamp, 1983 A Merman I Should Turn To Be, Earth Blues, Pali Gap, Hey Baby, Machine Gun, I Don't Live Today.

I love your list,Trihexagonal, but didn't you leave out one of the most hauntingly beautiful improv instrumental guitar masterpieces ever, that being "Villanova Junction"? Surely a mere oversight.

I have 72 Jimi Hendrix albums in digital format at last count, but Villanova Junction is not one I've spent a lot of time listening to. I really like Midnight Lightning and that version of Machine Gun best of all, Rainbow Bridge, Electric Ladyland and Axis: Bold As Love. Live in Stockholm (there are 2 Stockholm albums) has a cut of the first public performance of Burning of the Midnight Lamp, which is a favorite of mine.

I'll take your advise and check out Villanova Junction more closely. I appreciate it.

Edit: I was thinking of Valleys of Neptune, but am listening to Villanova Junction now. I didn't recognize it by name at first but know the sound from Woodstock.
