It's another hot day. I stayed home in the afternoon. After taking a nap, I had a glass of cold HK milk tea. Then I picked up my guitar. Played and sang a few songs, including Joan Baez's "Donna Donna"; Don Mclean's "American Pie" and "Vincent". "Vincent" is a song by Don McClean written as a tribute to Vincent van Gogh. It was released on McLean's 1971 American Pie album.
Do you like these songs?

I do remember these and treasure them as part of my youth.

Indeed, these songs remind me of my school days. But I still like them now.

@Beestring that's awesome!! I took piano lessons when I was young but probably wouldn't be able to play even the most basic song if I tried today

I'm not a fan of Madonna, but I think she is quite talented as an artist.

I like Don McLean and I love the song Vincent ( I also paint
), I also like a lot of lesser known McLean songs like Mountains of morn, Empty chairs, if we try etc..etc... I'm amazed with people who can sing and play a musical instrument at the same time.
