Nice to know!

Van the Man is my favorite of all-time.

Veedon is a great album.

Do you like St. Dominic's Preview?

clarksided · 09-27-2007, 10:20 PM

I have like 20 Van albums I'll just list my top 7 or so, save us some trouble.

1. Veedon Fleece
2. Astral Weeks
3. Moondance
4. St. Dominic's Preview
5. Tupelo Honey
6. Poetic Champion's Compose
7. Irish Heartbeat/Into the Music

Also I like It's Too Late to Stop Now more than all of those but I don't count live albums in those sorts of things.

We could hang out, do you drink brandy and smoke pot after dark?

clarksided · 09-27-2007, 10:25 PM

No but only because I've never tried to. Come on down to New Orleans and let's do some illegal things.

Son of JayJamJah · 09-27-2007, 10:31 PM

I was doing illegal things in New Orleans twenty years ago.

Great great town, too bad such corrupt people have run it for so long now.

Brandy is an acquired taste, and pot is an absolute delight, Van Morrison however is universal.

I've got three years before I brandy myself up legally.

Well more like 2 now.

In New Orleans it doesn't really make a difference, of course.

Also, speaking of New Orleans, I saw Van at jazzfest this year, was quite good. Would do it again.

IS his voice still good?

Have not seen him in a couple, three years.

He looks like a mess doesn't he?

Hard too believe he was only 22 when he did Astral Weeks.

He looked pretty old, but he sounded pretty good.

He certainly looked younger than Bob Dylan when I saw him. I spent half the concert contemplating what I would do if Dylan just collapsed right there on stage.

I'd steal his Harmonica and high tail it outta there.
