I'll go along those.

Gordon Lightfoot is my particular favourite. I've got around 20 of his CDs! Here's a taste from YouTube.

I would have thought "If You Could Read My Mind" (a handy ESP sense for playing chess) would be even more widely known.

What would be your favourite Cat Stevens song? (Your favourite today - as these things change! - and it's tough deciding on a single track). Do you play guitar?

Well, today it's" Peace Train". Tomorrow, who knows, maybe "Oh very young". Yeah I play. But I'm no professional. I don't know how old you are but in my day it was the music of Peter, Paul, and Mary, Simon and Garfunkel, Harry Chapin and his brother Tom, and John Denver.  Hope thats not telling my age ...lol.

In job interviews, asking someone's age is verboten. But you can ask them their favourite music and draw your own conclusions!
