Sandy Denny - Full Moon (1975) [demo] | Guess I’m Dumb
Sandy Denny - Full Moon (1975)
Like Townes Van Zandt, I think I prefer the unadorned Sandy Denny. The demos of many of her songs are just so much better - just Sandy and piano. Actually the full instrumental version was recorded for her final LP Rendezvous, but not included cause there were too many ballads (a mistake obviously)
I miss you more than I can say
This demo was recorded at her home in Byfield in December 1975; she accompanied herself on piano. This track was included in the bonus CD of A Boxful of Treasures, 2004 and on I've Always Kept a Unicorn, released 2016. Some verses differ slightly from the final version.
Kelly Boesch : PRETTY THINGS
"PRETTY THINGS"
Kelly Says:
‘Pretty Things’ is an intimate look at the struggle between the body and the soul. I wanted to write something that ignores the mirror and instead judges worth by the invisible...the ‘pretty things’ we say and the messy, beautiful chaos of the brain. It’s not about being okay; it’s about being heard.One of my favorite things to do with ai is come up with interesting characters. I was playing around with puppets. I actually love puppets and puppet shows. Having the ability to make my own puppets is magical. I am really a child at heart and still love fairytales and stories. I hope to give people the dreamy feeling of a fairytale like story with my videos. I put a lot of thought into these videos and personal feelings. I’ve not been posting daily as I used to so I can have some time between each video to really be thoughtful about what I post. I have also been extremely busy and making sure I don’t burn out is important. :-)Thank all of you for your continued support and beautiful, uplifting comments. They mean the world to me.Lyrics written by me, Kelly Boesch. Music created under my creative direction with assistance from Suno.

Alicia Machado: the Miss Universe winner who was bullied by Donald Trump
Donald Trump owning the Miss Universe Organization should be as absurd and foul a concept as Jeffrey Epstein running the Girl Guides.

For Dave The Sealyman!
Dave dropped by to chat about the last version of this great song I posted by Paul Brady Arthur McBride on Dylan’s 80th Birthday (go seek it out) and all t’others as well [especially the filmic version with his promo vid when he first released it as a single]. and I mentioned this version which annoyed me for the reasons discussed below but I couldn't wait until next Christmas to post this version so this is here and mostly for our Dave who has always been a long standing and much appreciated supporter
Now this annoyed me . . . . . but how do you expect folks to find a particular song by an artist if you can’t even title it correctly . . .and an Irish source to boot!?
Paul Brady favourite especially at Christmas I couldn’t find this one to post on December 25th!
Why? Because it is a traditional Irish song called 'Arthur McBride' sometimes 'Arthur McBradie and the ?Sergeant' or even 'Arthur McBride and The Soldiers' . . . nowhere is it referred to as “It Being A Christmas Morning’which is a line from the first verse and that alone as far as I can tell here
Consequently I couldn’t find this wonderful version on Irish Television from channel TG4 in 2009
Nowhere on the header or titling is Arthur even mentioned! Now that is Irish!
It’s called blarney!
