Thread Name: Mike Harding played my request
Subject: Reg Meuross is brill
Not wishing to hijack a thread nor get embroiled into the politics of transmassion I thought to raise a new thread for Reg Meuross as he really is worth listening to. Mike Harding made a good choice and I agree with all the other members comments on Reg Meuross.

Whilst being taken home by friends I was immediately hit upon by the few opening bars of one song on the CD and then the first two lines... "It's time to put your red dress on, and see how beautiful you are...". Smitten!

"Until I hold you once again", written after RM had heard a broadcast involving the Mum of one the poor girls murdered in Ipswich, tore into me. Without exception anyone who has since heard it has been moved and some to tears.

His "And Jesus Wept" is also touching. What sweet combination it is when a wordsmith and musician and one and the same. So many times it is that unison that makes the difference. I would recommend the Dragonfly album to anyone who can afford an ample supply of tissues.

"The sound of hallelujahs", "Without Love", and the unfaithful's guide to "Fools Gold: Yes. It is all here

I find His voice so androgenous too (anyone else find that?) and I do not mean that in any derogatory way. There are times you have no idea you are listening to a man or a woman. It is a rare treat for me.

So what is YOUR favourite RM song?
