'She had too much class to mention.'
Easy Pieces was like Rattlesnakes I'd say but not as good. Three singles. One punchy, the second riff driven, the third an appreciation of space, mood, atmosphere and poetry. Fot me personally I associate Lloyd with my formative love affair which brought me unaccountable happiness and experience. Happiness that it's actually quite impossible to measure . It began in 1986 at UEA in Norwich.
In Spring 1986 I took a seminar in 18th Century Literature. I found myself in a room in the EAS corridor. There was a Chinese Malaysian girl sitting opposite me. She was smiling at me. She was impossibly beautiful. So I smiled back uneasily. We got to know each other better . Unwrapped ourselves to one another in time. Completely. That's when things get and got really dangerous. But it's worth it, Of course it is....
It seemed she wanted to know me better. I certainly did her. Bit by bit we fell in love. We discovered one another. Her picture is under this post. That's me too. I'll tell the story here. It's one of the truly great love stories. Because it's my first important one. My journey of discovery and joy and pain and recovery. And Lloyd was always there. Cut Me Down was not a good choice for a third single from Easy Pieces. It stalled at # 38. I'd have gone for Why I Love Country Music. But what do I know?
