Has anyone got the lyrics and chords for "I could not take my eyes off her"? There does not seem to be any way of hearing the original version by Dave Plasket?? Any suggestions gratefully received!

Dave Pasket, as mentioned in an earlier thread, gave up performing many years ago to become a very successful painter. He always was a good artist, being able to whip off cartoons at a moment's notice. It is a shame he gave up performing really, because he was a very entertaining act.

Thanks Al, slip of the typing finger,I'd found the Downes and Beer unfinished masterpiece and the 2003 Forum lyrics but thank you Leadfingers, local singer Tom at the Shortwood Green Dragon does a version too but I was interested in how the original went... sigh! Guess it will remain a mystery unless I can find a vinyl copy!

Did anonymous guest ever put this on you tube? I have a rough busking three chord trick which goes down well in the local high street but have been asked for a more "sophisticated" version!!?? Anybody doing anything beyond C,G and D?

I have a version of this song, on vinyl, by the Brighton Taverners. I also heard the Taverners perform it several times at least thirty years ago in and around East Grinstead in Sussex.
The tune as I remember it sounds identical to the version on Youtube, and I also have the lyrics on an insert in the album sleeve.
I'm not much of a techie - some one earlier in the thread suggested downloading their version to Youtube - I could do that if I knew how. Let me know what you think.

Possibly the spelling in the thread title could be corrected?

Paskett.

Hi Jollygreengiant,
Sorry about delay, been enjoying the weather and busking! Would like to hear your version but am equally technophobic. Can anyone out there help?
Have fun!

Hi Gazza2,

I used to be in the Brighton Taverners and could send you an mp3 of our version if you message me with your address.

After having a quick catch up with a friend and nattering on about the early days of the Double Locks folk club in Exeter, this thread prompted me to tell the tale of when Dave Paskett was performing one hot summer's evening and one of Alan Jone's goats (the landlord) entered the room and took a leak just infront of him ... needless to say he just carried on regardless with his performance - that is Dave's performance, not the goat's!
