PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON

It took me a long time to work out whether to upload this song or not. Since on the surface it seems to deviate from the normal songs I sing, but I get great pleasure out of playing this, as it puts me back in childhood mode (although that's not difficult to do) and I think I can remember this from when I was about 4!! I remember trawling through Mudcat and came across a version which added the extra verse at the end about Puff finding Julie Maple and setting off in to the sunset, somehow that's such a better ending and I included it in this version. Poor fool Jacky Paper for growing up...

This is also one of my favourite songs from my childhood alongside Penny Lane by the Beatles - a teacher from my school had her husband come in with his guitar to teach us all some songs, he had us transfixed.

I've been doing that song for a long time, I like your last verse with Julie Maple. Lovely guitar by the way, Martin D42/D45. Cheers Alan.
