This is a song from Dick Gaughan, a wonderful Scottish folk singer. I used to go to a lot of his gigs. Alas he has now retired, but the last time I saw him I was chatting to him at the interval, and asked him if he would sing this song in the second half. He was a lot taller than me, but he bent down, put his head on my shoulder and whispered, "I'm awfy sorry, lassie, I cannae remember the words!"  I  must to bed now!

 

 

Great song and amazing video ... 

 

 

 

 

What a great guitar player! 

Johnny Marr and Big Bill Broonzy both come into that category!!

This is Allan Taylor, my favourite folk singer. He is a superb guitarist; I have been going to his gigs for 40 years.

As much as I lover the version by Jefferson Airplane I prefer the original by The Great Society.

 

The lyrics of Bob Dylan and the voice of Joan Baez. The perfect combination.

 

Lofty loved this song;

 

 

And I love this one

 

 

Some very unusual instruments on display in this one ! 

 

 

First cinema trip of 2025 this evening to see Becoming Led Zeppelin, which I can highly recommend ! Really well edited, with the only dialogue throughout being interviews with the band members.

Tomorrow will be dawn-to-dusk Led Zeppelin I think 🙂 

Here is an Eddie Cochrane cover from their 1970 Royal Albert Hall gig that I hadn't heard before, and which was included in the film  :
