Buffy Saint-Marie and her songs.

I told YOU that SHE lurves music.

Well.. One of HER all time favourite songs was written and sung by Buffy Sainte-Marie, a Canadian Cree singer songwriter with a most
remarkable voice.  As Copyright laws are absolute.. sadly SHE cannot write the words of song for YOU..  suffice to say title is 'And I'm gonna be a country girl again'.. Look for song on web and listen..

This was HER favourite song in that Algarve summer of 1970. The ONLY time SHE heard P-B 'speak' English was when he sang this, he lurved the song as much as SHE.. today on bus coming home from shopping, someone had this tune on their cellphone.. and despite rain and thunderstorm raging overhead.. SHE was transported back in time FORTY TWO years ago in Portugal.

SHE's blue, YOU would not know it, however, the lovely Leigh does.. SHE'S keeping 'it' together, as SHE wrote earlier to a lovely Dear Reader Pegeen, "no point in jurst sitting and thinking about what 'it' might or might not be".. but hearing that tune was a kicker that SHE did not need today.. it all went pear shaped with P-B.. very sad tale written about in an earlier Post.

P-B is still there with his horses (different ones, of course) and his 50 foot ketch which they used to sail.. he married in late 70's and has wife and children.

YOU do know this woman's voice, she sang 'Universal Soldier', she co-wrote 'Up where we belong' from film 'An Officer and a Gentleman' and wrote massive hit song 'Until it is time for you to go'.. 

And that's what WE are going to do.. go.. WE will be back but not tonight.. SHE needs a bit of a cuddle and a kiss from ME..

GeeGee Parrot.

  1. Does SHE like original children's songs accompanied on autoharp? If so go to CDbaby & look under Artemise. Will check out this singer.
