Who knows where the time goes - Fairport Convention

Fairport Convention were one of the most innovative and influential British bands of the late 1960's and are still recording and touring today. The lead singer during their greatest period was Sandy Denny who was in my opinion the greatest female vocalist of that or any era. The enormous emotional range of her voice has been unsurpassed by any other singer. Sandy died tragically in 1978 of a cerebral haemorrhage after falling down a flight of stairs.

What a voice! In these dark days with Cowell and X-factor destroying music, this beautiful song shines out like a blinding beacon. No one will ever sing this song as well as Sandy. RIP.

Today is the 35th Anniversary of Sandy's death. Cross the April skies, Sandy.

Still the purest voice I've ever heard, 30 years after first hearing her sing.

There could only ever be you, glorious Sandy.

Thank you for the thought,i have heard it before but i do forget sometimes

[John Burman]

These times are tough - remember the yogi saying "be here now". When the bad thoughts come say to your ego "stick to what you can deal with - let it go" I find it works well. We came in with nothing and will leave the same way.
