The emotional connection she has with these songs enables a profound, magical resonance.

Power chords. Man

I will never forget Richard T playing this with Fairport, including Pegg, Mattacks, and Nicol, at Cropredy in the 80s.

Powerful, and also a sort of reconciliation/homecoming.

About the resistance fighters in Afghanistan taking on the Soviets.

Whatever became of them, one wonders?

Doobs.


I love the final defiant, angry sounding tub thumps - probably less than a second but signing off perfectly.

It’s interesting to listen to Mattacks on by Jethro Tull’s light music album where is simplifies complex tubs bits down. Very interesting

Rumoured to be about Sandy Denny, I used to believe this but now I think it is obviously tosh - result of crossed wires or an overactive imagination.

Mind you, as a close friend of Sandy's, Linda would have very much been on the side of her old friend against Trevor Lucas.

No, it's nonsense. The lyrics are hardly sympathetic, in any sense.

Wall of Death much more tempting for vocal accompaniment.





I'll attempt a low harmony.

It is interesting.

Sandy was a very difficult woman and quite obnoxious and all accounts are terrible mother Richard on the other hand doesn’t sometimes people get very frustrated… The moment stuff I think the jury is out
