RICHARD THOMPSON
70th Birthday
Our greatest guitarist and probably our greatest singer songwriter. Happy Birthday Maestro!Some favourites, live . . . . .
Of course he can go quite dark . . . .
'Who knows where the time goes'
for Sandy Denny
Valerie . . . .
Perhaps my very favourite Richard composition here with the peerless Bonnie Raitt
Richard Covers Britney
with the sorely missed Nanci Griffith who has seemingly gone underground and allegedly runs a bookshop somewhere way out in the midwest . . . but has ceased singing and writing it would seem and having suffered and survived cancer (twice?) we forgive her mercurial star anything . . .
of course the Richard Thompson Band could rock too!
truth speaks to power . . .this song hits me right in the heart and summarises my political views and several bully boys I have come across in life
where it all started . . . . for me
