Love love love Nightingale Nightfall Overture and this particular version of it all is a masterpiece. The title track is actually my favourite song of all time. Perfection

That Nightingale album is absolutely amazing. The very best thing Dan Swano has ever released. Original cd was limited to only 500 CDs.

Pete , although you and Grant have did a number of Yacht rock bands ( sort of) I would love to see you and Grant collaborate on your top 10 yacht rock albums, or just you two put together a yacht rock companion starter show. I know that you already did one.

In regards to the Focus cover, gouache would have a more matte' finish, but not if you add a brilliant gel to the mix.

I always thought "Past, Present & Future" had some of Al Stewart`s best material.
