Let No Man Steal Your Thyme-Shelagh McDonald

[retepnalon]

Hope Shelagh is in a happy and beautiful place

[daver852]

Such a sad, sad story. Wherever she is now, I hope she's well and happy.

Is this (or vice versa) a variant of Come All Ye Fair and Tender Ladies/Tiny Sparrow?

[namaste91]

unbelievable beautiful folk song. Her voice ....

[nigusberries]

great voice.. was this her on guitar? it could be richard thompson at a guess.

her story is pretty mad aswell!! living in tents. i m glad i discovered her now!

must figure out the words to this song at somestage

[Ursamare]

Actually, I think it is her! I know she's good with the piano but I often wonder if she's playing it in 'Waiting for the Wind to Rise'...hm.

Sometimes I just want to discard the banality of the everyday and make like a nomad with a tent. Alas, the Sixties are over. lol

This was uploaded once before, but was taken down by the copyright machine. Such a beautiful song, I agree, more people need to hear her.

Only 310 watched this worldwide? They all miss something! Shelagh deserves as being as big as Vashti, Bridget St. John, Anne Briggs, Sandy Denny etc. Thank you for posting that song! :D patrick (from Switzerland)

[Ursamare]

ha ha

Thank you, Patrick. I'm in the UK and you'd be surprised how few of the the British know her. Shameful. Regards to you and beautiful Switzerland.

[patcharisma]

It's a pleasure, my dear!

I will go through all your songs then by "thyme"...

[Ursamare]

lol Well done then.

[celticboy1950]

A lovely song, and no, I had not heard of her I'm sorry to say. Thank goodness for youTube, and you too of course!!!!!!

[Ursamare]

lol Thank you. And glory be to YouTube, yes. Since you haven't heard of her I suspect you'll find her past interesting too. The psychedelia, her nomadic life. The stuff of Sixties mythos. :)
