Don't know why, but it puts a smile on my face.That's a good song! Depressing yet uplifting in a weird sorta way.
Alice Cooper Eighteen. When I was about 16 we played this song a lot in our band. In fact it was about the only song they allowed me to sing.Yes I was in a band many moons ago. We had no name just a bunch of guys that would get together every so often and even played at a few school dances. The reason I wasn't allowed to sing much is because I had a shitty voice. 2nd reason was because I had a hard time playing and singing at the same time. I played rhythm guitar. I really wasn't that good with it but got around it. After we split up one of guys started a band that went on and did pretty good.
I sold all of my stuff many years ago. I tried getting two of my kids to play and they took lessons and kind of fizzled out. So once in a great while I will pick up one of theirs and mess with it. Because my fingers getting sore I don't play long or enough to stay with it.
But my second daughter learned to play the piano and flute really well. She sold the flute because of time but still sits down and plays the piano every so often. When she plays the piano I typically dropped everything I am doing to listen to her. Just love sitting in the chair listening to her play.

I fully understand the listening to ya kid playing....My son has a great love for modern and classic rock and plays both....some days i just turn off everything here and sit quiet listening to him Jam up in his room....makes my heart melt.

I'm a great fan of Chris Rea and have enjoyed both of the tracks you've provided but you sell the man short when his name is mentioned without reference to:
