Birthday’s | RALPH McTELL 3/12/1944

We posted the OGWT concert from way back the other day and lo and behold it’s Ralph’s birthday

 So how can you tell me you’re lonely and say for you that the sun don’t shine

Happy 80th birthday to Ralph McTell, born as Ralph May in Farnborough, Kent on this day in 1944. Let him take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London. A fan of the early blues players especially Blind Blake and a friends suggested he take Blind Willie McTell’s surnameas it sounded better
