Fairport Convention - Sloth
Chorus)
Just a roll, just a roll
Just a roll on your drum
Just a roll, just a roll
And the war has begun
Now the right thing's the wrong thing
No more excuses to come
Just one step at a time
And the war has begun
(Chorus)
She's run away, she's run away
And she ran so bitterly
Now call to your colours, friend
Don't you call to me
(Chorus)
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Don't you cry upon the sea
Don't you cry, don't you cry
For your lady and me
(Chorus)
(ChorusFrom the 1970 album, Full House.
I'll be at Fairport's Cropredy Festival in Oxfordshire, in August....
Deep Breath Here -
ReplyDeleteBecause of the astute musical knowledge of my friends, Soubry and Steve of Bullet Holes fame, I have been delightfully exposed to numerous artists, unknown to me before my education.
One of these fine musicians, Richard Thompson, I had the pleasure of enjoying live in concert a few weeks ago. The venue was a lovely, 100 year old theatre, intimate and acoustically appealing.
Richard is one of the founding members of the Fairport Convention and made mention of this upcoming concert in Oxfordshire, "which shall be held in a somewhat damp field..." So, he then proceeded to present an OPEN invitation to the entire audience to attend this festival. One man shouted out: "Does this mean you are buying all our airline tickets??" Richard quickly retorted, "Well I'm a generous man, but not THAT generous....however, IF you show up, you shall be welcomed..." Maybe not so funny now, but it drew a number of laughs from the audience!!
Soubry - I'm certain that this will be an event of a life time and hope you enjoy every moment of it!

Brings to mind the song he does about the deserter being sent to the gallows and then pardoned by the King and sent back to the Army...something like that..can't recall the name...
