I so love Village Green Preservation Society, and it does sound like a lament.

With Auturm Almanac I like to imagine Ray enjoying a quiet afternoon in the back garden after a lunchtime down the local.

The new Katmah is quite flamboyant and very attractive.

This was an easy choice as I have always been a Kinks fan. Just as you’ve said, they never got the acclaim they deserved. It’s so easy to love a song which begins with, “From the dew-soaked hedge creeps a crawly caterpillar.”

I think I have played Waterloo Sunset three for four times here and on the old Coffee. I always reserve the right to repeat favorites, and that is one of them.

Now that I have expanded my genres I get to play so much more of the music I like, and I love surprising you with my choices.

The Kinks were never going to achieve the popular acclaim of some of their peer group perhaps because their songs were so time and place specific.
If you hear “I met her in a club down in Old Soho” you know exactly what is coming and I have often expressed that Waterloo Sunset is the perfect song.
Ray tours these days without Dave, but he does attract enough attention to fill the Albert Hall.(im6 dont)
Great song, great choice Katmah – I wil look forward to a week filled with goodies and surprises.
