[INDEPENDENT ROLEPLAY BLOG] Hello, there! You can call me Donovan. I'm a musician from Scotland. I sing, and play guitar. Come talk to me! [I play Donovan in the year 1965] [I also happen to track the tag #ohboyheresdonovan if you make a post for me!]

I know! I don’t like this country very much. *nods again, rubbing one of his eyes* I’m from Scotland. It’s a very nice place. It’s been a while since I’ve been there, though…! Maybe since I was, oh… Sixteen? So three years. But that’s a while.

Really? *grins again, her yes lighting up* I-I’ve never been outta th-the county before.  Is i-it really pretty there? *laughs once more, sounding quiet* You’re n-not that much older than m-me!  I’m seventeen…

[ohboyheresdonovan]

Oh, it is! Scotland is wonderful. I've been meaning to visit again, you know, but I haven't found the time. And you're only seventeen? I thought you were older!

*nods, looking ecstatic* Likewise, likewise! You seem very pleasant. Are you pleasant? I think you are. *adjusts the flower crown on her head, rambling aimlessly* Lots of the people I know are just so pleasant. I love pleasant people. I’ve been told I’m pleasant, do you...

Donovan c. 1966

[groupiesoutrageously]

In 1965, Linda Lawrence met a new folk-rock musician and friend of Brian’s [Jones], Donovan [Leitch], on the set of Ready, Steady, Go!. They began an on/off relationship that lasted five years (while Donovan had two children with another girlfriend, Enid Stulberger), as Linda was wary of becoming steady girlfriend to a pop star once again. Linda was muse to many of his late 60s songs. [x]

“I wrote it for Linda, although I hadn’t really met her yet. It is a song of unrequited love, yet I hadn’t really met her, so how could I miss her? And I seem to write prophetic songs in the sense of the Celtic poet and I wrote this song before I met Linda, of a love I would like to have had and lost." - Donovan about his song ‘Catch the Wind’

“Linda’s in all the songs. ‘Sunshine Superman,’ ‘Hampstead Incident,’ ‘Young Girl Blues’… Linda’s the muse." - Donovan

The girl nodded graciously, a small smile curving on her lips. "No, its okay, I totally understand!" She chuckled, her brows perking up lightly. "Oh, well sure- if you don't mind, of course!" She didn't want to push, but here Donovan was, offering her tea- why not? Her soft smile only grew. "Lead the way!" She quipped, rather sweetly.

Donovan grinned again, putting an arm around her shoulders as he began in the direction of where he lived. "Wonderful, then! I love having company over, it's very nice."
