Spike ,'Sleeper'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
...And, as a special present for Corwood, today's Guardian Film and Music section has a piece on Fairport's "Liege and Lief" and an interview with Anne Briggs.
I saw Richard Thompson play live at my town's annual (free) folk and world music festival last weekend. He was on great form.

Hey, I'm just doing a drive-by to say thanks for the kind words. I'm about to head back up to the hospital to see Mrs. Industries and Geneva. Abe had a lovely visit with Geneva last night. He was mostly ignoring her, but occasionally, he'd come over to let her grab his finger or to touch her face. When I dropped him off at daycare, he was telling his teacher this morning all about his sister ("Sister Geneva! Baby! Little! Warm and cozy!*"), which he followed up with a short interpretative happy dance.
* The "warm and cozy" line is from I'm A Big Brother Now, which we've been reading a few evenings every week for months now.
Sounds like he's on his way to being a very Emmett-like older brother.
("Sister Geneva! Baby! Little! Warm and cozy!*")
Holy awwwwwww!
It's the interpretive happy dance that gets me.
Dude! Allergies!
Sister Geneva, welcome to the world! (That plays to the tune of "Lady Madonna" in my head.) Congrats to the board and employees of Corwood Industries. Good day, too -- it's my dad's birthday, and exactly six months from mine.
Late congrats to Corwood and family! Geneva is a lovely name.
If you're in the US, check your local PBS listings for "The Johnny Cash Show." There are two shows, one featuring rock'n'roll musical guests from the old show and another featuring country guests. I just saw Derek and the Dominos (sans Duane Allman) doing It's Too Late. Then they were joined by Cash and Carl Perkins for Matchbox.
ETA: The double disk DVD set is coming out September 18.
