Welcome to the musical diary

Welcome to yet another superfluous blog. In this blog my trusty sidekick and I will be putting up cover versions of great songs of the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's and the best of today. The collaboration however is entirely virtual.
The name perrywinkle wasn't chosen for any particular reason but I do like the meaning.

Leo Sayer - Raining in my Heart

I know, I know Buddy Holly originally performed this song, but I much prefer Leo Sayer's version. When I was young, Sunday drives were obligatory for the whole family. We had a silver Austin Allegro like the one in the photo. A number of cassettes always stayed in the car and one of them was Leo Sayer's Stormy Weather. This is a great album albeit a bit corny in places.
Whenever I play this, I see Muckross House and its gardens on an overcast Sunday and remember the relief of getting back to a warm car and listening to Leo Sayer on the way home.
