Loving Cat Stevens At Glasto

[Bobbisox1]

Liked him in the 60s , great voice

[carolegif]

Fantastic! His songs are so gentle. Such a lovely humble man. Total pacifist and he changed his religion to Islam years ago. Got started comfort it too.

[carolegif]

Got a lot of stick for it! Predictive text! Too busy singing Wild World!

I met his parents years ago in a small Cypriot village called Tala where our friends lived, delightful people, I think it was his Mum was a Greek Cypriot and his Dad Turkish

[jazzgirl]

His father Stavros was a Greek cypriot , like a few of my friends, and his mother Ingrid was Swedish. I love Cyprus

[Bobbisox1]

Ah thanks for that Jazz, lovely people

[jazzgirl]

Bobbi You were so lucky to have met them

[Bobbisox1]

I was sitting on the next table to them in a tiny Taverna called Mario’s, it was a very brief exchange but I remembered it from all those years ago

[jazzgirl]

That is lovely 'serendipity' ;)

Enjoyed Dolley Parton some years ago at Glastonbury.
Biggest pare of tit s since the Gallagher brothers!!

[jazzgirl]

Yes I enjoyed Dolly at Glasto (though not for the same reason ! ]

[Bobbisox1]

Jazz, serendipity always makes me think of my friends daughter, she went skiing, just out of a disastrous relationship but fate had other ideas, she fell in love with her skiing instructor , they’ve been together for 5 years now and they have the sweetest little girl who they called Seren, short for serendipity

[jazzgirl]

That is sweet. Serendipity has happened to me a couple of times but somehow fell apart eventually ....

[Bobbisox1]

Another thread,another time maybe?

[jazzgirl]

probably not :(

[Bobbisox1]

Ha ! Don’t blame you, on here especially ;0)

[jazzgirl]

So right ! Got to get ready for Elton....

[Bobbisox1]

Enjoy Jazzy

Father to Son...I welled up!
He had a might but gentle presence and that voice at 75.
3 years older, Debbie, I am so sad to say, has not got it any more...

I was watching on catch up and didn't recognise him until he sang.
His appearance has changed almost as much as Billy Joel's.

[Bobbisox1]

Me too Hoppy but as soon as he sang, I knew
