Vertigo sent me the lyrics to his song:

Despair is dreadnought sulking in the bay, painting my thoughts all
battleship grey,
hope it’s leaving as soon as it can

(cos)I have no one left to comfort me….etc

Taking a walk with windmill grace, learning a way set to disgrace, all the
memories of things past,

(and) I have no one left to comfort me…..etc

Love My Love – what a great voice

Art: I never quite got to love English folk rock. I think English folk songs sound better the fewer instruments are playing.

Franny: You should. Their new CD comes with a free puppet theatre.

Bartt: He’s a damn fine player. A bit of a shame he has to fight the traffic in that clip.

Shigeto Takahashi’s “Rhapsody in Blue” is pretty darn rhapsodic, if you ask me!

I love that Peggy Sue song and video! I need to get more of their stuff.

Al, Agreed Steeleye Span and Pentangle also among the best of Folk Rock. Will have to play some of their stuff today,

Art: Along with Steeleye Span and Pentangle.

todd: I love his animations as well.

Hobbit: It’s not the real Fairport. I would love to see what Richard Thompson could do with a ukulele.

Armelle: No competition for my favourite this week: Peggy Sue. One of my favourite bands at the moment.

zym: If she sounds like Sandy Denny get her on YouTube right away.

Joe: I like to hear English lyrics sung with a French accent.

Ritchie: I would agree with your “a bit cheesie” assessment. But fun all the same.

good selection again Al. I prefer the video by Max (I’ll have to work on that one) … £55 to see Ry Cooder perform at the Sage …hmmph!

As much as I used to like them, i find the fairport video “a bit cheesie” nevertheless …well done.

I gotta say I like the last song (My Love), she sang it so well you couldn’t tell she was french

PS: The ukulele completely makes it so it seems it isn’t something justin timberlake would sing

oooh Fairport Convention!

Mrs Zym and I have been known to knock out a few Sandy Denny tunes when drunk :D

Incidentally, a friend of mine once went to a Fairport Convention convention!
