There's a couple original songs I sang years ago, before I teamed up with Margaret, that I would be embarassed to sing now. Upon looking at songs I really love to sing, whether it be a new song, or an old tradtional one, the songs I wrote just don't measure up. A couple friends think I'm being too critical. I'm not a world weary adolescent anymore. I recorded one of the songs I wrote on an LP I did and garnered the comment from the reviewer in Come For to Sing Magazine the line: "the best song is Phil's rendition of Richard Thompson's "Poor Ditching Boy," the worst is "Gypsy Lady" from Phil's own pen, which he should wield with more caution." These days, I agree. The reviewer is still a friend, too. Good thread.
