This connection started at the request of a friend, Neb. He loved Siouxsie & The Banshees and came up with the idea of a swimming connection. And he turned me on to the Phil Manzanera and Wire swimming songs. I put it aside a few times. I'd pull it out every now and again, when I noticed a song about swimming. I think one of the last ones was Florence + The Machine. So this covers all genres, multiple years (both looking and finding). Persistence pays off, because here it is. just in time for the summer when we all want to be swimming in the pool. A bonus track could be a track I originally had on the list: Dire Straits "Twisting By The Pool" and Neb might be disappointed since I also removed The Cure "The Drowning Man" Sorry, Neb. But it doesn't quite fit except as this footnote. It's in the middle of the writeup, so more of a parenthetical thought without parenthesis and not a footnote. BTW, that is my pool on the cover.
