Hm. I started thinking about this, and looked some things up. Jansch recorded this on his _Crimson Moon_ album, one I don't have; it's a cover of a song from the first Incredible String Band album (which I've never actually heard) by Robin Williamson--apparently got the ISB some attention early on because Bob Dylan praised it at the time. Well, now we have at least 3 fine versions of the song--Thanks!
The loss of Jansch a few months back was sad for us fans, especially poignant in that it coincided with some concerts and a projected reunion tour for The Pentangle. So it's great that people remember him with his songs. Thanks. If you mainly know him through the Corries, I hope you'll listen to some of his own recordings, solo and with The Pentangle (I really liked the two Conundrum disks, too--which was kind of his own group for a while).
omg... you sing wonderfully! (is it acceptable to say beautifully when it's a guy?) wow!!

You're one of those great singers who for some unfair reason don't get recognized for their talents... Keep on singing
