Week 2 Response to Tonya

TANYA DOLL Topic 2a
I was very young when I first heard Cat Stevens play. My parents bought me his album, yes, record album and I played Cat's in a Cradle over and over again. It touched me on a very superficial level at the ripe old age of 9 but I can still remember thinking it had sort of a sadness about it that transfixed me. AS I got older I began to understand the real meaning behind that song and to this day it touches me. I think the lyrics said so much to me when he sang, "when you comin home son, I don;t know when, but we'll get together then, dad"...and I had just lost my brother to a motorcycle accident, therefore the words hit home

@ Tonya I to was deeply moved by Cat Stevens. In the seventies I wore out an LP and probably a cassette tape too of Cat Stevens Greatest hits. Add to the that James Taylor's Greatest Hits, released about the same time. Great to see him on the Academy Awards...
