>>>Hey, re music - do you know Chris Rea ? Definitely check him out.

>>He seems to be like Procol Harum - they also seem to have had only one song, yet remained interesting.

>I'm only familiar with his later, blues stuff ( see the email I copied you on I sent to Mike ) I know I like pretty much every cut on those three CDs. Never really heard of the guy ( I guess he was mostly successful in the UK in the 80s ) but ran across something on a newsgroup and after that sought out more.

I have actually forgotten about him - and I only remember a couple of his early songs, the "Highway to hell" and "Auberge". But then any other songs he had then sound exactly the same, and are equally listenable.
