I was hoping he was going to play his banjo. Hes a great pal of Ralph McTell and I was hoping Ralph was writing the songs again.

Suppose he wouldnt be the same without the expletives. I like the out of the way places he finds to visit, artists and excentrics. If you listen to him, he is very observant and makes very apt comments. His own sort of philosophy interspersed with ***!

If you compare him to Ralph, they are very similar only Ralph is never smutty.... well Ive never known him to be. He also makes very apt observations on life in his songs... eg Stranger to the seasons.
