The original of this song is on you tube, which you have probably already posted, John; but anyway I thought of you and Global, in particular, when I came across this article in yesterday's Observer. They've been reading your mail!

Thanks for that, Padraig. Great vid. That was a very interesting review - I have to say that Lomax is one of my heroes.Originally posted by Padraig View Post

Best music I've heard all day...(so far)
more acapella from The Persuasions singing a Dylan composed track...
I love the drama they inject into this

The Imagined Village have reformed and will be touring in 2022.
Here they are from 2008, when the world was young, doing a version of Cold, Haily, Rainy Night. Featuring Johnny Khalsi on Dhol drum

Always a big favourite, Global. I'll look forward to seeing them if they venture north of Carlisle. Just had Randy N postponed as he's had a neck op.Originally posted by Globaltruth View Post
Anyway heard this bit of Cambodian Liverpudlian soul on Cerys yesterday - ideal for a Monday -

How's the wild Fortune Ox, G?Originally posted by Globaltruth View Post
Listening to Maconie's Freakzone last night, I heard a strange version of 'Amazing Grace' and it brought this one to mind. I used to have the single of the Great Awakening - wonder if it's still in a box somewhere. Apparently it was the theme music for the IoW Festival., Still sounds great. Apparently somebody from Country Joe and the Fish was the person responsible. Better than the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, I reckon.

I was supposed to go see Randy Newman this week, but he's having an op, so postponed till later in the year. In the meantime, there's always the Tiny Desk from five years back with his take on the World's present most detested man award winner...among other great tunes.
Get well soon, Randy...the world needs you.Comment

I think it's Monday - all this clock changing gets the old brain confused - so here's a bit bluegrass from the latest release from Smithsonian Folkways, The Po' Ramblin' Boys with "Take My Ashes To The River"

While out in the Hebrides this last week I read 'The Gallows Pole' by Benjamin Myers, about King David Hartley and the Cragg Vale Coiners, in and around the Calder Valley of West Yorkshire in the 1760s. Loved the book - finished it in two days - great language, great description of the life and times and a real history lesson for me. I noticed in the index of the book that Steve Tilston had done a song about the coiners so thought I'd slip it in for an idiosyncratic Monday.

Blame Petroc (again)

He's some lad that Petroc. She's brilliant, Global, but somehow I can't help thinking of Madelaine Khan in 'Blazing Saddles'.Originally posted by Globaltruth View Post

I was watching a doc about Ronnie Scott on BBC4 last night and up popped Van and Chet Baker doing 'Send in the Clowns'...don't recall seeing it before. I thought it was great.
