Donovan -- Three songs + long, comprehensive biography link to Wikipedia

"To Susan on the West Coast Waiting" —"Epistle to Dippy" — "Riki Tiki Tavi" (Live Extended Version 1970 "This is a live recording of Donovans Riki Tiki Tavi that I found a long time ago. I like it a lot more than the original it's way more mellow and chill. More personal this way for sure! AndyUncutXrated&quot .

and heart from Jr. High until I got too busy in college to ever listen much.

Listened to some on the web a couple of weeks ago and found myself singing it to the horses as I cleaned their stalls the next morning. Love love love him and his music. It is almost too much for me now at this time of life to listen to him, brings a lot of life in all at once and that can be really difficult.

Thanks for this. One of my biggest regrets is that I never got to see him in concert.

MuseRider — I have watched my wife feed the horses. She may not sing, but she
always converses with them. I agree that a "lot of life in all at once and that can be really difficult". Perhaps this video can soften some regrets.

I don't have an easy way to listen, I must get a new something to listen with. I cannot, not sing. I am a musician but NOT a singer sadly. How can you not sing with those 3 songs? How can you not sing with all music? Thank you so very much I am sitting here with a big happy grin.

If so, I'd think, all you'd have to do is click on the arrow on the video to see and hear it. If that doesn''t work maybe we could figure something else out. Let me know please if it does or doesn't work out. I appreciate your "big happy grin!"

I just rarely think of using it that way. I do have a new little computer that I love. I never figured to tote it around however because a horse barn is probably not that great a place for them BUT I could get a little speaker.... I am slow to change habits, I will get there.

She'd play music on it loud enough to hear in the rest of the barn.
