Lal & Mike Waterson - The Scarecrow

[sumerisle]

sounds like 7 hundred years old , amazing

[WVislandia]

This is such a brilliantly written song sung with such exquisite touch, just right for what was written. Two brilliant songwriters very much missed. Only listen to this - could we not do with more of this? I surely could.

[TheMarkWaterson]

you cant beat my grandad :) love this song

[WhackaWhacka]

@TheMarkWaterson You can't beat your great-aunt either.

[TheMarkWaterson]

@WhackaWhacka yeah its a real shame knowing its all gonna end

[carollizc]

@TheMarkWaterson Why would you say that? As long as people have ears and voices, the music will go on. The songs may be sung by other singers, and heard by other listeners, but it's immortal. It'll never end, unless we let it. This doesn't take anything away from your grandad - he's always been pure genius. I'm just saying.

[donnapanda]

[babystreetfighta]

The original and the best.

Mike has the most beautiful voice in the world.
