|
|
All - wanted to let you all know directly that the great Becky Jones - aka Highersynth in these parts - is my latest guest on Sparks: Entertainment and Art. FANTASTIC conversation about Becky's Sparks Journey, but also great discussion - true deep dives - into Let's Go Surfing, Thank God It's Not Christmas, and many more! Becky is a great thinker who looks deeply into Sparks's lyrics, on many, many levels.
Can't thank Becky enough for coming on the show and sharing all of her great insights! And wanted to pass on this special note because of her presence here.
For those who haven't listened yet - this is a great one! Give it a shot, subscribe, and help me build the Sparks: Entertainment and Art community! And help spread the word! There's a lot of Sparks fans out there who would love the show.
Thanks to all, and here's the link:

Great stuff again Monte. Loved Becky's interpretation of Let's Go Surfing, what an incredibly deep lyric that is behind another superficially happy sounding song. |

Monte, you're making me blush!!
Thanks everyone for the kind comments - and Dinky, you're the first one yet to spot the reference to Mrs Bucket.
It was such a fun conversation - Monte is a great host, so chatting about Sparks was easy. Stopping - that was more challenging! _________________ Tomorrow I'll find out all I should know... |

What a lovely interview Monte & Becky..Sparks fans are usually lovely people and share many similar experiences so when they chat it really is relaxed and fun.
Becky i love how honest you were about turning your back on Sparks after Terminal Jive but it was great how you found them again.
Nicely Interviewed Monte as always _________________ WRITTEN OF COURSE BY THE MIGHTIEST HAND |

Thank you for the kind words on the interviewing. I just love talking to Sparks fans and hearing their experiences, as well as their insights into songwriting, particular tunes, their career, so many other things.
Appreciated, Peter! Lots more to come, and as always if you feel you have a story to tell, please get in touch!
