Nice indepth post - I know the name Neil Diamond but I havent really listened to the music much!
I have started the tag #musicdiscovery (not a fan of the general #music tag on here!) for Steemians to share and discover new music - feel free to use it on future posts :)
Thanks for your reply @conradt , great Idea of the tag. I will start to use it in my future posts. If you like, youj should listen sometimes to Neil Diamond. He is really great and a remarkable singer. Have a great day
