Time and deceptive circles. I’d never heard of any of these artists but am enjoying playing everything. And one click leads to another. I’ve now watched Meg Myers (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKNalVx3F5I)
Running Up That Hill in several different videos and think I get the significance of her caterpillar to butterfly transformation.
In my mind she and Kate Bush are both young women except I see that Meg wasn’t even born when Kate recorded it, which itself was 8 years after (

Cathy was waving from a field in her red dress. Sigh.
Talking of musical bloodline, after listening to Buckethead who has loads of albums and Lucinda Slim who has loads of alias names I read about the roots of a worldwide hit back to the “
primitive wailing” of Solomon Linda who recorded
Mbube on beeswax in 1939. Shipped from Johannesburg to London and sent back on 78-rpm shellac records it was a decade before song-collector Alan Lomax gave a copy to Pete Seeger whose best guess at pronouncing the Zulu title was
Wimoweh, later to acquire English words and be re-titled
The Lion Sleeps Tonight.
By the year 2000, royalties were estimated at $15 million. Solomon Linda was sent a cheque for $1000. I believe he is the tall gentleman on the left. After his death the genre was popularised by Ladysmith Black Mambazo, who (I read) Lucinda Slim worked with.

Speaking of Cathy: I finished reading Charlotte Brontë's Wuthering Heights to my wife at bedtime. It wasn't easy, she kept falling asleep. But we both quite liked it, despite the characters being as bleak, hard and unwelcoming as the moors, they had their share of entertainment value (like a propensity to strangle puppies in passing) and tons of dramatic feelings. After the book we watched 3 or 4 film versions and found the 1992 and the 2009 version both very good, both of which also depict the children generation unlike most other versions, including the famous Laurence Olivier version (1939) that Kate Bush's song was initially based on.
Now whenever one of us need to be let in, we will beat against the window and scream: It's me, Cathy! Let me in! I'm so cold.

HaHa! That made me laugh out loud. I confess I have never read Charlotte Brontë. So many classics I was going to read one day!
Edit: Ah! Apparently it was written by Emily. Which sort of confirms I have a lot of reading to do. If I can go round a second time I promise to do a better job.:D

Right you are of course. We tried reading Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre lately (which I found utterly boring) so I mixed them up. I'm mainly a fan of adventure literature (Jules Verne, Robert Louis Stevenson) but I have enjoyed a few classics. You just have to be ready to put them away when they get tiresome. Don't make it a challenge to yourself.

I'd sure like some other bluegrass/southern guitar music with a similar flavour if anyone can recommend. I've no clue about this stuff.
