A lovely Bert Jansch song played beautifully by Donovan.This album is so wonderful.If you don't know that much about Donovan start with his early stuff it'll blow you away.

[whittingham4665]

@19HurdyGurdyMan46 its you sir that does not know much about don -donovan wrote this song! the only song on fairytale that jansch wrote is oh deed i do!

[19HurdyGurdyMan46]

@whittingham4665 Quite right my friend, I'm not sure myself how I slipped up here, unless it was something to do with not being computer literate and being new to YouTube. I've had the albumn for over forty years so yes I definately am aware Donovan wrote this song along with most of the other songs on this fantastic albumn, which I can't recommend more highly.

[whittingham4665]

you dont have to apologise you obviously love dons music thats all that matters !

Just imagine how much hippie pussy this guy got.

[Kaitipoo]

This transports me elsewhere and brings back a lot of memories.

[lotus21]

@craigowler

Dont forget Bert Jansch....

[whittingham4665]

@lotus21 whats bert got to do with summers day reflection song ( pure donovan ) the only song on this album by jansch was oh deed i do!

[bloomindoomin]

He is so pure, i love Donovan so much now. every song i've listened to thus far is enchanting!

[rivlax]

Though he does not use the technique on this song, Donovan was one of the best flat pickers there ever was. His flat pick work on the "Catch the Wind" album and on several songs on "Fairytale" is as good as it gets.

[HeseQ]

@rivlax Do you happe to know what pickin' technique he's usin here??

I just can't figure it out....

[provojoe]

He delivers the very essence in purity the way few have.

[backinnyc]

great!

[neutrolino]

Sounds like an enchanted sunny day with the cat smiling and why does the red kerchief sail and fall? Is it a cat toy?

[yadamatrix]

It pisses me off when all these girls start screaming... And then they actually pretend like they like the music. The same story with the Jonas Brothers today.

[MemphisBlueAgain]

Few says this so I'm gonna say it: Donovan is a genius. You can see it on his early acoustics, on Sunshine superman and on his double "A gift from a flower to a garden"

[DeeepSmyle]

Too true!

[Voitground]

thats as simply as great- a "blaupause" for all songwriters after his appereance. easy chords , a unique style- true expressionism.and my cat is smiling in the sun also.

[koflerpatrick]

Thanks for posting. Just discovered this gentleman for the first time.

[waxwall]

Thank you! One of his best songs.

[Airhockeylirare]

Enchanting song, but what else can one expect from guid ol' DOnovan

[jimrock63]

[Dansull123]
