I know that Sandy was great, but I think she was the fantastic icing on an already amazing cake, if you like. This line-up of Swarb, Peggy, Simon, D.M. and R.T. was the best they ever had, I reckon. Mind you, 'Over The Next Hill' from a few years back was a brilliant album. Outstanding playing and singing.

Lol? This song has nothing to do with Thanksgiving!

This always makes my Thanksgiving day!

My Thanksgiving Day theme song. Always beautiful.

I never tire of this.

As anyone would!
12 years later, he is thankfully still among us, but I would expect his real obituary, hopefully not before at least 2041, to be even better to compensate!

@neohip When I saw him in Birmingham at a concert in his honour, he was chuffed to have read his obituary in the Daily Telegraph a few days before !

Swarbrick and Thompson - unbeatable!

This is such an evocative piece. I love the girl at 1/50 who is she? At the end of the song there is a distict pause when the audience is silent and Richard Thomson opens one eye to check that everybody is still there! Just perfect.



Dave Swarbrick.long suffering violinist,mandolinist,guitarist and sadly underused lead singer!.It's neat to see him here so young and vital!.He has had major health problems for many years now,leading to a double lung transplant in 2004.but is still 'up for it' when he is well enough.
