Happy birthday to Richard Thompson, born in Notting Hill, London on this day in 1949.
He sees angels on Ariels in leather and chrome, swoopin' down from heaven to carry him home.
“Richard Thompson - RT is an extraordinary guitar player, probably the best this country has produced, an utterly sui generis talent whose style is rooted not in standard blues clichés but in the wealth of influences coursing through the British Isles.” (★★★★ The Independent) http://bit.ly/2uMSoUR
