I haven't done a Corner since before Christmas for various reasons but I hope you enjoy this one - Carole
The 'Crystal quote' this issue is rather a long one but it's one I particularly like, it's taken from a review at the Thebarton Concert Hall, Adelaide, Australia in 1982:
"That her tales of drunkeness, infidelity and cruelty drive straight to the heart -
seldom the most vunerable organ of the taxi drivers, businessmen, psuedo-cowboys and
other halves who appear to dominate her audience - has been widely observed.
How Crystal Gayle does it is a bit of a mystery.
Maybe it's because
despite her material being saturated with familiar sentiment and her approach
direct and unselfconsciously personal, Crystal Gayle has a cool elegance about her,
the sophisication and classy demeanor of a country girl turned city slicker,
that gives her such a wide appeal."
Any idea who this is?
I know the picture is a bit on the fuzzy side but it should still be recognisable.
Answer at the bottom of the page.
Having recently seen the Workbasket magazine on sale on Ebay. I wondered how many of you had seen these from Woman's World.
Here's another one:
"Late one night in one of those bars
where you go to drink and sing."
