Shirley, Deborah, Julie, Jane, Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel too - I did well to remember them all, I think Grin

Rhiannon and Sara by Fleetwood Mac are particular favourites though, along with Joanna by Kool & The Gang, Jolene by Dolly P and (So Long) Marianne by Leonard Cohen, of course.

Are there any Deborah's that have woodchip on the wall, in a house that's very small here?

And
  • Kathy's Song.
First heard them probably 35 years ago and still know all the words and sing them to myself to help me sleep or while driving. Lovely songs.
