'The Flycatcher' (Roy Harper)

[SteVenendry]

I think youtube's quick and easy availablity of published tracks (official album version ones) is good (for handy access if you don't have the CD) but people's individual cover versions of tracks like this are great in my opinion - this is a good cover

@SteVenendry

Hi Steve, thank you and yeah a lot to find on the tube!

See you later. Have to say I am not active for a while due to drastic change of life.

From Holland to Guatemala, from no work to work ;-)

Greetings and all the best!

Hi dorsetbell,

Hi Michal,

Awesome dude. Why is Roy such an underrated player? although he is not in my world. I met roy a few months ago in London. I got my photo taken with him and everything, so awe inspiring. Keep in touch man.

[Xanderpaulfrederik]

Hi Ben, thanks for responding. That's a good question. I think he hates the thought of being a commercial guy. Great you met him in person and have pictures with him! (A friend of mine did also 25 years ago, just sat down and had a little conversation. That's him I guess...) Keep up the very good work and see you later!

Bye,

Xander

[lsdmadman]

quite awesome,,,ive been viciously trying to play all roy's oldies and almost forgot the tunes on 'unknown soldier'...your funky version will lead to roys music being spread over the wacky boston area...thanks mucho!!!

[Xanderpaulfrederik]

Hi Isdmadman,

Thanks for responding in such a personal and positive way! That's a great thought (Roy's music being spread in the way you describe...:-)! See you later,

Xander

[tennanti]

I still watch this and get goose bumps, my favourite song by Roy. I am trying to teach myself to play this, could do with a close up as you play it with your left hand ha ha. I await your next post on Roy. Keep up the great work

[Xanderpaulfrederik]

Hi there T!

Thank you for your response.

Well I had done one more of Roy ('on summer day'), but the very bad quality of the recording (equipment) is why I just decided to stop recording 'till I can afford a digital camcorder.

See you later, all the best to you,

Xander
