[PopTodd]

So, let's get this straight:

You had in Nick Lowe and then followed up with Richard Thompson, one right after another?

How the HELL do I get in on this gig?!?!

Nice work, folks!

[OnePurpleCrayon]

I feel bad, because as soon as he said "I love kittens!" I burst out laughing and didn't hear a lot of the rest of the song.

@OnePurpleCrayon

You kept laughing for nearly 4 minutes?!

[OnePurpleCrayon]

@WatTyler13 It happens. Also, ADD. I probably wouldn't have paid too much attention anyway, y'know?

these tiny desk concerts have introduced me to some fantastic song writers

[rojolane]

I wish I was there in that room...listening to Richard Thompson...sigh...love him. Genius and perfection.

[antiquefeminist]

I absolutely adore Richard Thompson.

[mccuff]

Who`s the man??!

[haikudairy]

I have been looking all over for a video of him performing Demons in her Dancing Shoes. Great to hear the background info about the song

[cmshuf]

It's great because it's real. Even to someone new to his work, like myself, it's easy to tell he's entirely sincere. He's pouring out his soul in his music, and it's every bit as powerful as it is beautiful. Thank you, NPR music.

[LePierre]
