Today is Van Morrison Day at Big Pink Towers

The other day a VM song, Redwood Tree, came into my head, and I thought, I haven’t heard that in years. So today I dug out my vinyl VM records, and had a wee party to myself. It was lovely, especially as regular peeing without pain has now been restored. The things you take for granted! For a supposedly grumpy man, Van's songs exude joy. I’ve seen him a few times, lastly in Inverness in 2007 which was very joyous. The women behind me didn’t get his jazz approach. ‘Play Brown Eyed Girl.’ Eventually he did. I loved all of it. And he sounded just as good today.
