Yes, yes and yes.

Outstanding work.

Thanks, and an excellent use of an audiobook credit I was holding onto for recommendations like this!

There's a book about music and the working men's clubs and their ilk surely. From the fifties until at least the Fall's early career they played quite the role. Scott Walker's wilderness years, the Bonzos, and so on.

Matchmaking is an angle I hadn't considered!

I had this. What a track listing!

I had this too along with the Kinks Ultimate Collection, both on Castle.

(Still irks it wasn't The Kinks Ultimate Kollection.)

The crossover of two artists I like greatly. Bridging the generation gap.

Now that's living!

I think Broken Veil falls nicely into that category. Defies genre, I think.
