Thinking of Joan Armatrading on her birthday
 |
Joan Anita Barbara Armatrading, CBE was born December 9, 1950 at Basseterre, Saint Christopher and Nevis, British Leeward Islands.
She is a lyricist and guitarist second to none.
There have been moments when she has brought comfort to me though I was thousands of miles away from home out at sea in the North Atlantic doing 70 degree rolls.
She touched my soul at a time when I was unapproachable by most others.
Now that I am old that allure of her sounds still beckons me to stop and listen.
I don't really agree with her lifestyle nor do I care what she pursues in that aspect of her existence.
I am content to allow her to be her and be myself and enjoy those things we have in common.
She is a musician and I am a lover of good music.
Today is the birthday of my chanteuse muse.
Happy birthday to you !
