I read the Grabien book and loved that she created some strong women characters and that she moved the guilt away from Lord X's wife (and gave her a real name!). I myself don't care much for Fairport Convention (I know, heresy) but do like many other versions of MGroves, including Doc Watson, Sally Rogers, & Dillard Chandler.TinaPetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08790734995313010911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054225496921311123.post-1720665791116918162008-03-06T14:29:00.000-05:002008-03-06T14:29:00.000-05:00Thank you so much for compiling these videos!

Thank you.Actually, I moved on ...Oh, lovely review! Thank you.<BR/><BR/>Actually, I moved on to the Kinkaids because the Kinkaids are the books of my heart, the ones I've been waiting my entire adult life to catch up with and have the courage to put on paper. Recapturing my own lost years...<BR/><BR/>David Nelson (of the New Riders) and his band do a sterling version of "Pretty Peggy-O": I have a recent live version of that. He also covers the Appalachian version of "Cruel Sister", as did Jerry garcia dn David Grisman: "The Dreadful Wind and Rain".<BR/><BR/>My particular favourite version of Matty Groves was the original Fairport Convention cover, from "Liege & Lief". Richard Thompson's guitar, Dave Swarbrick's soaring fiddle, and Sandy Denny's voice, with all the energy and fire the song deserves.DebGrabienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12131305876462308446noreply@blogger.com
