Next, someone I've been listening to alot lately, Mike de Velta. Here is an original song by him. Just let it take you on a journey...
I like that!

This was "borrowed" and became a classic rock number. I'd wager you'll know which one within seconds.
The IABD album is a cracker, especially if you like a bit of violin with your rock.
Talking of rock violin...
I saw Curved Air back in '70 - 'twas an awesome gig!

I did indeed. So this is where DP got it from? Hope they recognised them.
Kinda reminds me of this...

<chuckles> That court case is still rumbling on, I believe.

Now, something for you to listen to while going after those naughty Thargies in Oolite!
Talking of going after things in Oolite, I used to hunt bounty-hunters...

With things as they are these days.....I oftentimes find myself listening to songs that were written in hard times gone by. It's funny, a song written in the early 20th century can still say so much about today. In every sense, a true classic.
Java Jive? Shoot me the pot, and I'll pour me a shot!
How about Sixteen Tons - a 40s 'classic! I owe my soul to the company store!

As a bonus, have a Willie Nelson classic, with Emmylou Harris - she can sing. Saw her once at the Hammersmith Odeon - great gig!

Time for a cryin' song...
Frankie Miller is an old favourite of mine - man, what a voice!

Looks like we got us a high roller here!
I'll see your Ella Fitzgerald, and raise you Albert King...

Call!
EDIT: had to update the video
Georgia, eh? Rainy Night in Georgia, perhaps? Or maybe...

If I remember right, that song follows Venus In Furs on that album. They don't make em like that anymore.
Anyways onward ever onward!
If I remember right, that song follows Venus In Furs on that album.
Indeed it does! That album was years ahead of its time!

Oh And Cody? Remember this?
<chuckles> Oolite back then ('09) looks kinda primitive now. That's about the time I first stumbled across the game, having tried various AAA space games looking for that certain something. Oolite was full of bugs, but it had that old Elite feel and look.
As for Drew, Oolite (and his Oolite Saga) was his path to greater things. Official ED author now, I believe.

He did indeed but still, I miss those early, pre-Elite Dangerous, days on the Frontier Forum sometimes because people like Drew would occasionally post things like this....
