Might sign off the day and the week with this universals joyous song
From the Other Voices, Other Rooms sessions and I can name the instigator in Nanci Griffith front and centre and I spot John Prine and Leo Kottke but was struggling with anyone else
So someone posted it on Instagram claiming it was from the Wimoweh session which of course makes total sense

Think I posted this before (back in MARCH!) and I mentioned how great lots of Irish TV is Tommy Teirnan’s show notwithstanding and his interviews are superb (who knew the brilliant stand up and actor/comedian would excel at being attuned to other folk?] here with the Irish RTE Concert Orchestra
go on click it anyway . . . it will play!
The Saw Doctors and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra perform Same Oul’ Town
Neil Diamond "Holly Holy" on The Ed Sullivan Show 1969
. . .and another featured as part of a TV soundtrack . . . . . never the greatest Neil Diamond fan (what WAS he doing on The Last Waltz but then what the heck was Van Morrison doing in his kicking showgirl hhot pants too!?) Time dates us all hey?
Neil Diamond Talks About "Holly Holy" Then Plays It (Live 1971)
in context this song freaked me out on the programme and it is a VERY odd song lyrically and as Diamond goes on here, its about the feelings not so much the words but heck it is ODD? in the context of Mr Mercedes it is down right scary!
