Ralph McTell - The Streets of London / Dry Bone Rag (Blind Blake)

 BBC Four just (last night) featured Ralph McTell’s early gig for the Old Grey Whistle Test (BBC Shepherd’s Bush Theatre 1976) and it was very lovely covering Blind Blake to John Martyn in his usual endearing self effacing rather humble style . . . I loved Ralph from early on and like so many his Hit The Streets of London now covered by over 200 other singers explains a lot about why and how I finished my working life working for the homeless in the services and hostels locally . . . . . . . .
