a selection of dark pop, classic doowop and big voiced songstresses – this one started as a birthday cd for an ancient friend who was born in 1959 – it was a real strange surprise to reacquaint myself with tragedy one of the most haunting songs of my youth and for it still to move me to the darkest end of lonely street 11/11/08 mdc

wind and storm - gones the sun

from the stars my dark has come
youve gone from me oh oh tragedy
