The TIPF Album

[Clicker]

Some  mean ' monica playing there Denis ... wow that  took me back a bit ... Woodstock and flower power ... ahhh them wuz the days ....

[Korky]

I always liked Canned Heat - Great stuff!

Here's a Texas bluesman called Henry Thomas with Bull Doze Blues - it's the song that Canned Heat took bits from and used for Goin' Uo the Country many years later.

The whistle/flutey sound is made on what the old rural musicians called a 'cane' (it was normally home-made).

Hope someone enjoys it - I love to think of people dancing to the music of Henry Thomas around ninety years ago.

As a pro maker of hedgerow and folksy Wooden Whistles, I really can appreciate this Korky.....

'As very young 1940 s brats we used to make slide whistles cut from a young Ash branches.......just cut a section around 6 inches long.......cut around the bark an inch or so in......then beat the longer section gently with a penknife handle, until bruised but not broken, it slides off.......cut the whistle hole and step, then blow......

Great fun!

Korky, thanks for the Henry Thomas track, it's brilliant

[Korky]

Beautiful song - Beautiful voice - Beautiful photographs

I suspect these images were taken in and around Whitby and are the work of Frank Meadow Sutcliffe.

 

[Kobione]

Lovely and gentle, and great presentation with those pictures.

 While Korky's on a folk kick... (I've seen Sharon Shannon at Cambridge several times, but she's only a bit part here.)

[Korky]

I've been on a folk kick for summat like 55 years!

Love Sharon Shannon - thought this song was written by Steve Earl. Went to see him a while back at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester. Left at half time and went to the pub!

And that looks like a great party - just how we could be if we weren't so embarrassed by our traditions.

Yes it is a Steve Earle song, but obviously the great man wasn't there to take part! (Saw him too, twice, at Cambridge - love his music AND his politics).

[Korky]

Discovered on YewToob this morning - Shall have to see if I can get their CD, seems they're on BandCamp.

 

[Korky]

Beautiful song, beautiful voice.

 

[Korky]

Oh I do love YewToob!

[Black Pearl]

A mate sent me a link to this more for the video which has a Quentin Tarantino feel to it but I've rather fallen in love with the band and their music...

 

[Black Pearl]

And speaking of falling in love....

 

[Denis]

From the first Jethro Tull album I purchased in 1969....

This is the track that the Eagles ripped off for Hotel California !

I've only ever had one of his tracks - glad to have that corrected.  The most unforgettable busker ever? This is the one:
