Richard Thompson - Time To Ring Some Changes - Videowest 81

[fivethumbsfrank]

It amazes me how He can flat pick and fingerpick at the same time so perfectly.

@fivethumbsfrank ...if you like this style of picking you'd enjoy Doc Watson and others of that genre. Not only is Doc a great guitarist but he also has a great voice...even at 80+ years.

utter utter utter brilliance

The unmistakeable sound of Richard Thompson, English to the core. Still love the classic Fairport line-up with RT, Sandy Denny and Swarb...

He tells it like it is.

This song can be found on the album Small Town Romance, a recording from a solo acoustic show.

"Ringing the changes" was a swindle that counterfeiters used in Victorian England. They would pay a shopkeeper with a real coin. The shopkeeper would check the coin and find it was real. The counterfeiter would ask for it back, saying he would pay with silver. He'd check his pockets and say he didn't have the silver with him. Then he'd switch the real coin for a counterfeit coin, and hand that one back. The shopkeeper, thinking it was the same coin, didn't bother to check it a second time.

Nice one Joni! Where did you get this? And what's with map of Ireland in the background?

[Antisyzygy]

The song "Time to ring some changes" on his albumn is not nearly as cool as this one. Its too fast and overdone.
