I’ve seen all of the interviews - FANTASTIC - and this video’s focus is excellent.
what Lee talk about it was Orange Julep place, there's not so many including 1 in Montreal , Canada ....
Living on an island is one of my favourites too francis
Paul- you’re one of the best interviewers because you LISTEN. You don’t interrupt your guests. You let them shine. You allow them to give full answers. Bravo, Paul!
Hearing & seeing such a wonderful selection of songs, chosen by such 'distinguished alumni' is a joy to behold! The Shape Of Things to come, would be my personal favourite.
