Endless goosebumps, emotions, tears and love for this masterpiece!! Thanks for watching! 🥰
This is what Genesis lost when Steve Hackett departed.
I remember listening to Wind and Wuthering for the first time and especially this song : I was blown away by the pure beauty of it.
Awesome! Did you hear it when it was new?
No. I discovered Genesis in the mid 80's when I was 17 years old 😀
Ah OK....hard to keep track of viewers' ages here!
For most of the bands I love I was born 10 years to late. 😀
Ditto!
Brilliantly assembled song.. although written by Steve & Phil you can ‘feel’ Tony had a few masterful touches… my favourite band for the better part of 40 years.. GENESIS 🥇 🎶
Oh yes, Tony still shining....Glad you love this one and this band Anthony, thanks for watching!!
TOP FIVE SONGS... BRILLIANT
YESSS! Thanks for watching!
Rutherford’s bass is superb, not to mentioned the rest of these geniuses
Agree! Thanks for watching!
@@retroreactions.... YW. wait until you get on the last 3 suite, with Afterglow capping the Album...Proof that Genesis was on a league of its own when it comes what I call Symphonic Art Rock...With Master Tony Banks's composition Afterglow, a song that will last forever
Nice...coming this Sunday!!
Then there were three was next
And the end of Genesis
Steve Hackett the heart and soul
Listen to that opening
Thanks to Tony the ego banks
the chord progressions are ridiculous, and so full of emotion...
YESS!
An absolute gem. Just wonderful.
YES! Thanks for watching NABIL
I’ve gotta be first! Nice song… closer to Afterglow!!
Indeed you are thanks! 🥇 What a song, and then the next 3...😭
@@retroreactions.... Strictly speaking Afterglow is not connected to the instrumentals coming up next. But I guess people have suggested it because they segue. But if you want to do Afterglow as a separate song, that would be fine Brandon. Live they were not connected by the way.
Hi, thanks for the input....we shall see next week!
Wow…💿💿!! It is an incredible piece. I’ve been enjoying Wind and Wuthering so far. To think I’ve had my vinyl copy for over 45 years.
@@79BlackRose It is totally connected, it can be heard separately but it is appropriate to listen to the last three songs together, as in Duke the first three and the last two.
Hi Brandon, in my opinion, one of the prettiest Genesis tune and I get goosebumps every time I listen to this song. Lots of memories of my teenage years come back with a great emotion. And you haven't yet finished the album, others gems to come ...😉
Hello Patrick! Ok, it's not just me! Glad you're in the Blood on the Rooftops goosebumps club too! Endless gems with this band I tell ya.....
I lost my soulmate unexpectedly a month ago - I have turned to Genesis and their absolutely beautiful music of this period to help get me through it. I have been a fan since the early days, these guys were so talented.
Hello. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Though I cannot know what you are going through, I can easily understand the healing and comforting power that Genesis has for you, based on all my discoveries from them in the last 9 months. I wish you much peace and light, and thank you so much for watching and sharing your story with me... 💙🙏
@@retroreactions.... Thank you for your kind comment. Yes, Genesis music in all it’s beauty, with either Peter or Phil at the vocals, is very comforting, very healing. I had the fortune to meet the band, and Peter, on many occasions. All of them so down to earth and humble yet they were able to produce such wonderful music. Keep on enjoying this glorious band.
Wow, that's icing on the cake that you got to meet them several times, one of the best bands to ever exist. Yes, Genesis on permanent weekly rotation on the channel until I've basically heard everything!!
Genesis had plenty of great songs up to this point. But there is something different about this song. There is a certain maturity that belies their age. A certain majestic and stately quality about the whole thing. A grandness even!
Phil does such a great job on this whole album...This song just blends right in with the rest of the album...I've loved it for decades...Before I listened to Gabriel and Genesis; I started the Journey with And Then There were Three, then Trick and a Tail..This album bought it all home and made me love Genesis...THEN I started with the Gabriel stuff..Became a prog head in 76 so; I was in the middle of their transition...The decades since, have moved me many times.
Great journey, thanks for sharing....my prog journey properly began way back in December 2022 LOL......
@@retroreactions.... I've been on youtube for 15 years, In that time, being a music FREAK I've compiled some pretty good playlists...I have a Prog one, where you can find hundreds of the bands that make prog so great...Maybe, if you get a chance you'll take a quick look..th-cam.com/play/PLyJst8qcdCvvl8tHAeAOAYG9c8cmyT_wJ.html
Enjoy the journey, the many profound artists, in prog, will give solace and joy when needed...:)...Good health to you and yours.
Oh nice! Thanks so much for sharing that..I will take a look and maybe it will help me in my future prog picks!
@@retroreactions.... Thanks for the reply. There are so many amazing prog groups I've been turned on to, here on you tube Like; Happy the Man, Eloy, PMF, Triumvirate, Camel, Nektar, IQ, National Health, etc. A never ending selection of profundity...:)...
Cool! I should be debuting Camel on my channel in a couple of days!
After listening to this band for so long, this slowly became my favorite track of theirs. It is perfect.
"The face that launched a thousand ships is sinking fast. That happens you know." That just kills me. What a great, emotional song!
Yes, surely one of their best!! Thanks Bob
That's Ripples, though, from the previous album.
Beautiful reaction to one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever listened. What a delight seeing another person resonating the same! Bravo!
Thank you so much Daniel! Really appreciate you watching and the kind words...
Your reaction was wonderful and it was rewarding to see you give this an extra special rating! Towards the end, tears were rolling - so I will have to rehydrate, lol. Steve Hackett's classical guitar intro sounds quintessentially English. And everything that follows is exactly as it should be. A very special song and yet another highlight on this superlative album. I could play that on repeat for a couple of hours.
Sweet! Glad we could cry together ha! I consider the tears to be badges of honor to be dedicated to the most special songs out there! W & W on repeat sounds like a good idea....I can do that after next Sunday!!
a favorite
Sweet! Thanks for watching Gerald
Salutations! What a lovely song! Never heard it before, as is the case with this whole album….enjoying discovering it with you!
Hello! Happy Sunday! So glad you enjoyed it too.... thanks 😊
Thanks for the reaction and review. My favourite song from this album. 😎😎
You're welcome! Good choice!!
Totally worth the special award!! I can never decide if "Rooftops" or "Vine" is my favorite song off this album...
And as others have probably mentioned, the final three songs deserve to be listened to all together as a whole suite 😊
Hello Haley! So true, Vine is another epic shining gem....Yes, many have suggested that, so I'm sure that is what I'll do...assuming nothing gets blocked...
Thank you new baby Genesis lover. Youve come a long way til today congratulations for graduating. XO
Haha, thanks! I still have much Genesis to discover, and then I will get my Masters Degree in Genesis 😁
Great song by Written by Steve and Phil,
Brandon the final three tracks MUST be played together as they are meant to be heard that way, please do not split them up
Great video again, nice blood in the background!
Hi John! Yes, it's looking like that will happen, assuming nothing gets blocked....Thanks, I wanted something that looked like blood, but still was something beautiful and pleasant looking, to match the music 🙂
Love the bass and the moodiness of this song. One of my favorate Genesis tunes.
One of my new favorites too now!! Thanks David
Brandon, I forgot if someone else mentioned this, but now that you have listened to Blood on the Rooftops you'll appreciate this: Look carefully at the cover of the W&W LP. Now check the BACK cover. Now, after hearing One for the Vine and Blood on the Rooftops, tell me, is there a more perfect symbiosis of an LP cover and the mood of the music inside it????
Wow, thanks Daniel...It's been so long since I've bought records that I'd basically forgotten that there is probably back cover art in many or most cases! Beautiful!
This was the last album Steve Hackett played on before he left the band. He couldn't get any of his music and ideas through so decided to leave which is such a shame as the band moved into a pop commercial direction. This track was written by Steve with arrangement help, co written with Phil Collins. You must checkout Steve's album Spectral Mornings. The first track Every Day is so powerful and melodic. Many of the ideas and music for that album and his previous album called Please Don't Touch were offered to Genesis who rejected them. Such a loss to the band. Blood On The Rooftops was one of Steve Hackett's finest moment with Genesis. Great reaction again Brandon.
Thanks so much Killian! I will add your vote for Every Day!
Tony's favourite of Steve's Genesis compositions.
Oh yes: the best post-Pete Steve’s-last-album masterpiece. So wonderful ❤
what a song8
Thanks so much for watching!
Beautiful song. Thanks
You're welcome Larry, thanks for watching!
Great reaction! Wind & Wuthering is my favorite Genesis album, and this is my favorite track off of that album. Its rarely reacted to by people so I'm always thrilled to see someone do so. Steve's opening guitar piece sets the stage for a truly beautiful piece of music. And lyrically it evokes such strong imagery - it's remarkable. So glad that you enjoyed this one! Someone else mentioned the front and back cover artwork for this album. I agree, its so simple and elegant, and it fits the music so perfectly.
Thanks Mark! Sweet! Yes, I'm planning to react to every Genesis song or just about...long journey still!! Great little review there....I'm sure you've been able to love this one for years....thanks so much for watching!!
@@retroreactions.... I got into Genesis starting with their And Then There Were Three album. I then started going backwards from there, so I found W&W probably one or two years later (so ~1980?). I have to admit, I moved away from prog as the 80s continued on (moved on to punk/new wave/alternative), but with reaction channels getting big a few years ago I've rediscovered my list of old favorites. W&W has always been high on that list!
Awesome full circle journey you're having! Thanks so much Mark!
🤘🤘😝😝
LOL hi again, thanks for stopping by! 😁
Majestic Genesis!
It's very nearly a perfect song.
The most wonderful track from my all time favourite British Progressive Rock album: "Wind and Wuthering" by Genesis. Great lyrics, too. They lost so much, when Steve Hackett left the group in 1977.
One of my absolute favs from these guys from one of their top albums IMO. Tony Banks has stated that this just might be their finest moment overall, which is complementary to Steve and Phil. Steve wrote everything except the chorus which was one of Phils not so common contributions to the catalogue that far in to their career, not counting the jams he did with Tony and Mike which are the highlights in many songs up to this point and beyond. Steve wrote the lyrics for the verses, Phil wrote the chorus lyrics. Which to me is a rare example of Genesis lyrics other than Petes which holds its ground to Petes. Then the rain at Lords stop play. A very English reference meaning that a cricket game was stopped due to typical English weather. The couple narrated in the song probably just sits sipping their tea and watches an empty rainy cricket field instead of the arab and the jews boys. What a mood inducing song and lyric!
Le emozioni che provo ascoltando questo brano sono indescrivibili.... Immagino un piovoso autunno inglese..............
Molto bello! Grazie per la visione massimo!!
One of my all time most favorite Genesis songs! Could ne in my top 10 but it's hard to say as they have so many songs I'm absolutely in love with! And the whole Wind and Wuthering album alone is chock full of favorite masterpieces!
another great one
For sure!
My favorite group!!!! From one of the all time best albums!!!!
I know!! Yessssss, you weren't kidding when you used to tell me about this album❣❣❣
I'm in LOVE with this album!!!!😍🥰🤣
I bet you have been for a long time 😍 I'm a W & W newbie LOL....
I grew up with my Dad listening to Genesis. And Yes. Anything prog. So i basically got an early jump start. I like how much you like it too! It's great. : )
Nostalgia is a nice description. All the old TV references maybe. Genesis is unique for consistently delivering the atmosphere and invoking the emotion of the lyrics with their music.
As a young lad, I avidly purchased lots of DC comics with my meager earnings from lugging golfers' heavy bags for five miles around a lovely golf course, and as an avid reader, I checked out and consumed all the rip-snorting Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan books from the local library. As a teen, my favorite Saturday morning cartoon show was the fabulous "Batman Tarzan Adventure Hour", immortalized in this song by the lyric "By Batman Tarzan still surprised". Either Steve or Phil also loved that TV show enough to use it in a lyric within this beautiful song.
The two albums where Genesis remained true to its progressive roots, with Phil on lead vocala, are my favorites. Not that Peter Gabriel was a bad vocalist. Far from it. He, too, was great. But there is just something about Phil's voice that is very special, not only to me, but by the tens of millions of fans who came to love the pop version of the band, and Phil as a solo artist.
Some music fans seek out the excitement inherent in faster tempos and guitar pyrotechnics. Others seek beauty sublime enough to elicit tears of sheer joy and amazement, which is what we just both enjoyed together. Myself, in my dotage, now look for pure, raw emotion, provided in huge doses by a band which was often dismissed in its early era as too derivative of Genesis, Marillion, now fronted by the incomparable Steve Hogarth, the only voice I love more than that of Phil Collins.
Awesome review there! Thanks for sharing your story. I agree...only a couple of bands have made me cry here on the channel and guess which is one? Genesis also is the only band to get my highest award rating here, the double epic platinum record award (twice now)!
Always thought of this song as a rainy day in England
May I join the 'Rooftop goosebumps' club too? I can't help them either, no matter that I've heard the song countless times. And what a pleasure it is to watch you react emotionally the way you did. Maybe that's the whole point of watching reaction videos: reliving those moments of musical bliss with like-minded souls. Can't wait till next Sunday! 🐝
Of course...you get free lifetime membership!!! Had no idea it would hit me this hard...you just never know with these songs haha.....Next Sunday should move me too!! Have a beautiful night..
What I like about this one is that, Like Firth of Fifth, it revisits the opening in the ending. They were still progressive rock through to the end of '76.
How do you create something so beautiful from just listing TV shows and news events? Creative genius. Only excelled by Firth of Forth on my list... just as magnificent but there was more of it!
😎I don’t think many Genesis fans would disagree that this is one of their finest songs…alas I’m not aware that they ever recorded a live version, but perhaps it exists on a bootleg somewhere. I hope Brandon that you get around to reacting to the live album Seconds Out that was from this same period and had songs from their whole career played with fabulous energy and Phils first outings as live frontman. Also contains the first double drum playing, both with Bill Bruford who plays on The Cinema Show, and Chester Thompson on the rest of the album…It’s definitely a drummers record with Phil at possibly his drumming peak before 80s superstardom kind of took him away from the kit much more. He was obviously a great drummer throughout his career but the energy and finesse he played with in the late seventies is magic…
One of my favorites of theirs ❤❤….
I think I’ve said before that I heard this album first when I was 15 in 85, driving in my parents’ car through autumnal English countryside. Ever since - and with the album cover - it’s a chilly autumn magical piece of work. I must find you listening to In That Quiet Earth/Slumbers as the best instrumental they did ❤❤❤
Hi Matt! I will hear the last 3 from this album this Sunday!
Never gets old. But never played live. Bummer
Sadly, Genesis never performed this song live (at least in front of an audience) believe it or not. One of my favorite Genesis songs.
A darn shame....thanks for watching!
Always love your reactions and can’t argue with your rating. One of my favourite Genesis tracks, completely right about the goosebumps, the good news is I still get those after listening to this track after 40 years. Sadly I don’t think Genesis ever played this live, but the good news is, Steve Hackett does.
Nice, guess I will get goosebumps the rest of my life hearing this too! I forgot someone else told me it was never played live, so I'm excited for Steve's performance of it!
Superb potboiler, love the acoustic guitar, Phil Collins' vocals on point. Steve Hackett has some great live versions too.
Oh wow, forgot that Steve would do this one live, I know it's brilliant already!
Another very nice video from you, Brandon. Thanks for that. It still is and always will be one of my favorite songs by the band. It's a rather short song but has so much to offer musically. Oh, that wonderful intro on the acoustic guitar...incomparable. Or how naturally they play with the constant alternation between major and minor chords, especially in the small bridge between verses 1 and 2, and 3 and 4. Music in perfection. Lyrically, it's the most solid and political Genesis (in this case Steve Hackett) have written to date. A convincing synonym, the "Blood On The Rooftops" for the then common TV antennas on the houses at that time.
The Genesis fan club wrote: A track like "Blood On The Rooftops" highlights the opportunities the band lost after his (Hackett's) departure.
You're welcome....great review from you here too!
With this song Genesis caught lightening in a bottle…
i missed peter so much at 1st but phil did some good work before the wheels fell off
Thanks for watching!
I found Genesis in 73 and grew up with them, new adjectives are needed to describe the band.
Yess!
The word you don't see often associated with Genesis is MATURITY. Those guys were so incredibly humble and dedicated to the pursuit of beauty and were the antithesis to showoffs and stage pets! Thats how you enter legend, the good way!
Well said!!
This song changed my connection with music even more than Sgt Pepper´s or Pink Floyd´s Dark side of the moon. I was a kid and the first passes were simply mesmerizing. I just couldn´t stop listening to it and discovering corners and places. I even had to buy a new record because I spoiled it.
Awesome to hear that!!!
Steve Hackett’s Genesis Revisited Band has a few versions online
Another beautiful song Brandon. The part that gives me goose-bumps and get the hairs on my arm standing up is at th-cam.com/video/_skH3uQIgkY/w-d-xo.html in the video, when the bass peddles come in after Phil sings, "We always watch the Queen on Christmas Day; won't you stay?" Those strings-like keyboards are beautiful as are the oboe-like synths.
It's such a quintessentially British song with references to everyday things that only a Brit' would understand the significance of.
Sad to say that Genesis never did a live version of this wonderful song
Nor "Many too Many" and "Undertow"
@@bigjapi1 Nor "Mad Man Moon"
Yea just heard, unfortunate....thanks for stopping by today Kevin!
@@retroreactions.... Its my pleasure. Such a shame that two of my favourite Genesis songs were never done live. That is "Blood On The Rooftops" and "Mad Man Moon".
Shame for sure....at least I get to hear Steve perform Rooftops!
I was so looking forward to your reaching this track, cause I knew exactly what it would do to you: what it has been doing to every listener since it came out, goosebumps on top of goosebumps, goosebumps champion song. Seriously, this masterpiece is what nostalgia dreaming is made of, it is so beautiful if hurts, but you know us music beauty suckers, we don´t mind the hurting. The rest of the album is just as brilliant, but different. But that is for you to discover.
You were spot on! Thanks so much for watching me! I have reacted to most of the album in case you missed. I will finish off the final 3 next Sunday...
@@retroreactions.... Thank you! I haven´t missed any of your Genesis reactions (they´re my favourite band) and I´ve been particularly excited about your reactions to Wind And Wuthering songs. Now I´m so looking forward to your listening to the final 3!. Cheers!
Thanks so much for tuning in to all of them! Yes, this Sunday! Till then cheers!
Would love to put in another plug for Yes; Shoot High, Aim Low. 😘
Surely...
G having one their most delightfully British moments. This is one song from Wind + Wuthering that makes it so painful NOT to choose W+W as my favourite Genesis album. But I have to stick with Selling England for that Desert Island spot. But this IS a truly incredible creation - lush and measured - with Tony's BIG Romantic chords, Steve's amazing nylon work + Phil's heart-felt delivery. Astounding, even after all these years. [edit] Cool lyric breakdown! I was unaware of the intent of the song, which is strange since I've lived with the bloody thing for almost 50 years. Thanks for the insight into this Masterpiece! ☮
Hi there, thanks so much for watching! Great review there. Sometimes my viewers leave comments that I wish I would have thought of haha! Then again you've had a bit more time with the song 🙂 Appreciate your compliments, peace!!
I let TH-cam take me to another rendition of Blood On The Rooftops - a cover by Sally Sparks. She made a very nice video. Enjoyed listening to twice!
Nice, will look it up, thanks!
Wow..un capolavoro..
Are you now going to backtrack with the double epic platinum award? ;-)
I agree this is a great track.
I do believe you'd love Duke as an album. This may be even closer to the blend of 70s and 80s Genesis you'd like to hear.
You mean award it to past reactions? No time for that unfortunately ha....Def excited for Duke...well for everything, since I love all eras of Genesis!
Beautiful song (after 47 years the words speak about what's happening in the world ...), I can understand it's one of your favourite Genesis songs. Remember: next three are as one, so listen to them without interruptions. (it's like Los Endos but with a song for ending).
Yes, still very relevant...yes I should be listening to all 3 this Sunday!
I had to revisit some of the first times hearing. This one is my favorite Genesis- after Peter Gabriel songs. If I could think of any song besides Comfortably Numb (altho it is more troubling) that is truly "haunting", in a good way, this would be it.
I think if I wanted to introduce someone uninitiated to prog, to 70's Genesis, this might be the song I'd use.
And you'd be right in doing so! Thanks for stopping by matthew..
Great reaction Brandon. Hope you enjoy the final W&W chapter soon 👍 Sadly there wasn't a huge amount from W&W included on Seconds Out, despite being mostly the '77 tour, however, you won't be disappointed, as it's a masterpiece 👌 Genesis live at the Lyceum in 1980 (Duke tour) is worth checking out too. Full concert/video is on youtube. Includes an epic version of One for the Vine with double drums 😁
Thanks Dean! Yes, I'll be reacting to the final 3 songs this Sunday! Thanks so much for watching and for the info!
@@retroreactions.... Cheers Brandon. We're gradually turning you into a Genesis geek 🤓
Haha YESSSS, bring it on!
I discovered a Genesis song about 10 years ago and now it's my favourite . In The Cage. I would suggest doing a nice video live version if you are so inclined to give it a spin.
That one was intense, I reacted to the studio version, did you catch that one?
@@retroreactions.... Now that you are about to publish your reaction to Afterglow, I would suggest either listening to or watching one of the medleys that Genesis performed in the first half of the 1980s. Most of them start with In the Cage and then they go onto some parts from the Cinema Show, some instrumentals from The Lamb and/or Wind & Wuthering, and then Afterglow. The 1982 live version from Three Sides Live might be the best thing they ever recorded, and the 1984 version you can find on TH-cam is spectacular, especially for Phil's amazing performance alternating between the singing and the drumming.
Hi Mathieu! (great name!) Yes, I have In the Cage medley from 3 Sides on my list...with your vote it's now 10 votes for it, so I will film a reaction for sure! Appreciate you watching today and your input 🙂
@@retroreactions.... I vote for this, too.
@@retroreactions.... I did a search for "Genesis" and it didn't show up. Nice to see others are on the same wavelength with this one.
I was busy and I arrived here too late, sorry bro :)
Don't worry, video has only been up a little over 1 hour, so to me you're early still!! 🏆 😁
Masterpiece isn't it ? get ready for the ending trilogy, wich 4 me is a tetralogy including this incredible masterpiece, different GREAT kind of emotions left to go in this fantastic album
Heck yea!! Wow, will be epic (😏) for sure!!
@@retroreactions.... After you finish the album, just chain, mix, this right moment 7:52 (in you video) of Blood... with the beggining of "Unquiet Slumber For The Sleepers...", perfect fourlogy/tetralogy.
One of the glories of Genesis without a Peter.
For sure! Thanks for stopping by today 😊
A quintessentially English song, if ever there was one. Lyrically, at least. Detailing the mediocre existence of having to stay in due to the rain and watch TV, with a choice of fictional drama or world current affairs to distract yourself with. Commentary in the style of the media vocabulary, with many a familiar reference used. A mish-mash of the mediocre boredom of being stuck indoors on a dreary wet afternoon/evening, with nothing but the TV and radio to entertain. Along with making tea or drinking beer or wine! Many references to what were then current TV shows and current affair events of the day along with some of the phraseology used by news readers and announcers of the time. That people would rather stick to fiction than have to face up to the realities that the evening news reminded them of.
Hi there, thanks for the info. I guess I was pretty close in my quick interpretation of the lyrics. Of course I would not get the British TV references though. Thanks so much for watching!!
Lovely vibe! Too short tho :( could have taken a couple of hours of that!
Same here!! Thanks
I truly believe that Banks and Rutherford were both threatened and jealous of Steve Hackett. While Genesisi were putting out Duke, Steve released Please Dont Touch, a far superior album in every way.
Brandon, what do you think about the meaning of the title of the song?
Well, not sure their intention, but based on the little I researched, it seems to have some connotation to war or at least violence....
@@retroreactions.... My point of view, (drops of) blood on the rooftops refers to the German bombs falling on London and other England cities rooftops in the 2nd. world war, the bombings started on September 7, 1940 and ended, coincidentally on May 21, 1941.
"For when we got bored, we'd have a world war, happy but poor"
Makes sense....
Exceptional drummer, exceptional singer turned REALLY bad. Thanks for the gems, though. This is one. Heard it once. Marked for eternity. Pure bliss. What a band !
Thanks for watching!
I wouldn’t say really bad, he became one of biggest stars in the 80’s, you might not like it but it takes a lot talent to accomplish what Phil has done…he takes a backseat to no one.
Definitely one of their best, though too often underrated. Thanks, Brandon.
For sure! You're welcome and thank you for stopping by for this one tonight!
Blood of the Rooftops underrated? You can't be serious! In what possible universe is this song underrated?
There is a cover of this song that’s pretty amazing as well
Nice, who is the artist?
It’s some women that does all the parts it’s on you tube . It’s very good
Sally sparks
Yeah, I stumbled upon that one once and was really impressed!
Thanks I will look it up!
