Today has no theme. It is a mishmash of songs I felt like playing.
Enjoy!

In an interview with Dierdre O’Donoghue on KCRW Radio, Los Angeles, Donovan said: “‘Catch The Wind,’ I wrote it for Linda (Lawrence, who he married in 1970), although I hadn’t really met her yet. It is a song of unrequited love, yet I hadn’t really met her, so how could I miss her? And I seem to write prophetic songs in the sense of the Celtic poet and I wrote this song before I met Linda, of a love I would like to have had and lost.”
Donovan had a fleeting love affair with model Linda Lawrence, who was then the girlfriend of the Rolling Stones’ Brian Jones soon after writing this song. He bumped into her 4 years later and they married in 1970. Donovan said in an interview with the Guardian newspaper May 24, 2005: “Linda’s in all the songs. Sunshine Superman, Hampstead Incident, Young Girl Blues… Linda’s the muse.”

sblake,
I loved this-it is just so Donovan to me, writing of a love he hadn’t met.
I like knowing the backgrounds of lyrics. It gives the songs far more meaning. Thanks!
