Hey neighbour! Really liked your chart - especially the inclusion of Robbie Robertson's album. Also liked that the NZ artists = the Aussie artists. A very cool cross section of albums - I am guessing you are in your late 50's/early 60's (given the dominance of 70's/80's album). Cheers, Moondance (from OZ).
