  • @firecracker26241 he is completely unsurpssed. we are lucky to have him.

  • Thank you so much Joni !

  • Richard Thompson is the greatest living guitar player on the planet. Thompson is also consistently underrated...what an amazing song writer, singer and performer. Thank you so much posting this! ;-)

  • @Dionysos37 His father was Scottish. As were his main musical influences - bagpipe music and Jimmy Shand to be specific.

  • Agreed. Funny quotes...and true too! :-)

  • That's Billy Connolly, one of Britain's funniest comedian's, he's Scotish as you can probably tell.

    Be warned! he has a foul mouth, but he's as funny as hell.

    He has a few DVD's out, get at least one, he has a go at everybody from Religious zealot's to Masons, from Royalty to Politicians.

  • The guy at 1:18 is awesome. Particularly 1:40 ... Epic quotes.

  • RT says his father had a touch of Irish---though everybody says that of course. And Irish was/is a big strain of his influences. That's all I meant.

  • Er... Thompson isn't Irish.

  • Another incredible period of them wild Irish dervishes becoming mothers of achievement! Imagine a country that goes out of its way not to tax writers! What you get out of that kind of soul is Richard Thompsons (and James Joyces)
