What a fabulous poem and appreciate your hard work.so clever how you ended up with blue suede shoes .
As an aside, even the mention of 12th Century Provence sends my mind racing off to a world [imaginary of course]full of music and colour and romantically named places such as Carcassonne and Montsegur, which wasn't so romantic for the Cathars of course.
I could imagine if there was a time slip that you would have had a successful career as a 'Trobador' , travelling the roads of the Languedoc entertaing locals or performing at the court of the Count of Toulouse, along with the lovely Velvetones of course .

Great stuff as always. Really stuck on the album cover challenge though!
It’s Showaddywaddy. I think it was called step one.
