The Commitments (from the movie; if you haven't seen it yet, and you like Ole Skool R&B, you have to!)
It's about a group of permanently out-of-work blue-collar Dublin musicians who decide to become a soul band, and it's excellent! My mother would have loved it for the storyline and the music, but she wouldn't have survived the F-carpet-bombing, so I never took her.

still playing but not getting any younger. Had some funny stories regarding his songs he wrote.Willis Alan!!!!!
How's he doing? We saw him in Asheville pre-Covid, I think, and his memory was starting to go. Super nice guy during autographs, etc.
Is he still trying to get that second album together? I know that he lost a lot of material in a flood.
Listened to his debut album over and over again. Early ‘70s memories.Willis Alan!!!!!
