I'm an american of Scotch/Irish descent who was raised in the south near New Orleans. I love Celtic music and was raised on blues. I just love his brand of blues as well as his Celtic works.

Ah, Van the Man! Doesn't he seem like a modern Irish troubador? I love him too. He's been a big influence on a lot of singers and songwriters over the years.
Do you know what he's up to recently, any new releases? I remember seeing a wonderful program on tv a long time ago that showed Van with the late John Lee Hooker, playing and singing together... the respect and fondness for the old bluesman was evident on Van's face. I wish he'd record with some of the newer performers, that would be nice!

Thanks for the note, good to see there are others out there that like him. I believe he just released a new CD. One of the cuts is Tupelo Honey. The radio station I listen to plays him alot. He is one of the best.

(chuckle) I actually bought some Tupelo Honey at the grocery awhile back and stood there looking at, humming Van's song. I am HOPEless! But I sure have a lot of fun...

I visited New Orleans when I was 18 on a family vacation; it made a big impression on me because visually its so different-looking from where I've lived, and I loved the way the music was simply everywhere. One of the highlights was getting to see Pete Fountain play when he still had a club of his own on Bourbon Street (I think that's the street it was on) Now that I'm an artist and work in pastels, I wish I could go back and track down where Edgar Degas lived for awhile; he's an awesome pastel artist too & would be cool to see those same places.

Cool Van Morrison & BB King

If you love me
You will give your heart
Why should we be apart
If you love me

If you love me
You will know the truth
I wasn't born to lose
And I love you

Affinity and communication
That makes reality
Understanding is the first thing
It means so much to me

If I love you
I will find the key
If it's meant to be
Cause I love you

Affinity and communications
That is reality
Uderstanding is the first thing
It means so much to me

If I love you
I willl find the key
If it's meant to be
Cause I love you


And you just have to hear the blues guitar and harmonica.
