You win for seeing the dead girl. No way to see her now, but Thompson tours and is better than ever.

Actually got to meet her and Dave Swarbrick which was cool - i remember they were quite drunk

OK, if you had not not already been one of the super coolest people ever this would totally launch you to that status.

Sandy Denny!! Fairport!! aahhh

That's a very very young RT. Much more blatantly Scottish than usual, as well...

That was tasty, thx.

Thanks to your avatar I've just Googled Daniel Pinkwater, & now I want to read as many of his works as possible.

I would start with Lizard Music myself. What a great kids' book. Too good to let the kids have it.

Oh, you must! _The Snarkout Boys and the Baconburg Horror_ would be a good starter. Personally I would have been hooked if I'd read his memoir _Chicago Days, Hoboken Nights_ before any of his fiction (although I didn't and was hooked anyway.)

Oh, god, I love hippies. And Brit folk. I've seen only recent incarnations (and Richard Thompson solo) but I own practically everything. But seeing them in a recorded live performance from 1970? Oh, thank you.
