Quote from: Blooby on October 09, 2016, 05:46:53 PMI have been really getting into English folk music lately. Spent a melancholy weekend watching the news about the hurricane and listening to vast amounts of Tim Hardin, Nick Drake, and John Martyn.

I haven't had a song hit me this hard in a while. Even sent John an email with something akin to, "I don't know how I'll fake my way through this, but we must cover this song!"

And I hate exclamation points. Really...if you look back at all my posts, I don't even think you'll find a handful. Go ahead... I double-dog dare you.

This is where my head is at these days. So good.

Music begins around :40. He gets cooking after the first verse and chorus.

I used to have John Martyn's Solid Air album on cassette when I was at college 30 years ago... bizarrely, the whole album was on one side of the tape & the other side was blank. This was how the album was sold. How odd!

I wasn't familiar with this song, but you've re-kindled my interest in his music by posting this - can't wait to hear you & Lurker tackle it... go on, you know you want to
