Thank you for listening, and for the positive feedback. Always a pleasant way to use the internet between strangers. Great song by Ralph McTell. Happy surfing.
@lipmanss Thank you. This was only supposed to be one of my practise versions, but somehow, this year I never quite got round to a more serious recording. Very glad you liked it as it is. All the best for 2012.
@mike61219 Thank you for listening and for your appreciation. London will always be London, though it may not be the London we might (wish to) remember. This song does date a little, but the sentiment feels right, and the way McTell describes the people in such few words is brilliant. A great song about a great city, you are right.
@Bjowolf2 Thank you for the correction. Yes, I could have thought a little more about the sense of the words I was singing. This is not my most unjudicious choice in songs I have covered. As for opera.. yes. I went there, once! Thank you for the kind remarks.
Like I said, it's a very common "mistake" - nearly every tab has it, so you are in great company.
For many years I also sang "hands" there.
I think it stems right back from the first ones, which got it wrong. Very easy to mishear or even misinterpretate as a missing "cockney" H. Act. Ralph in a great recent tab book, "Song for Six Strings" mentioned that to his knowledge, this was the first tme that the lyrics had been printed correctly ("and").

Very well done this song brings back so many memories, but saddened that the street of London are still the same with the poor and the homeless.

"AND held loosely " - NOT "HAND" !
But you are not alone - it's very widespread error.
If you think about it, "AND" does make a lot more sense
( the papers are held loosely ... - NOT his hands ;o) ).
Well done - great voice, almost opera there ;o)

Aha, thought so (opera) - lots of vibrato (?) and strong "sound" there )
And great acoustics in that room as well. Record companies should be paying
you for permission to record there LOL
