You have good taste, Lady K!

Have you come across their "Long Black Veil" album? Not quite their usual stuff, features vocal and accompaniments by (amongst others) Marianne Faithfull, Mark Knopfler, Mick Jagger, Ry Cooder, Sinéad O'Connor, Sting, The Rolling Stones, Tom Jones, and Van Morrison. I like it...

2. It was the Seaview. I loved that series. It starred Richard Baseheart and David Hedison.
