Big Al Whittle Pretentious sleeve notes (31) RE: Pretentious sleeve notes 07 Dec 17

I was totally mystified. Whenever Davy was photographed for Beat Instrumental or Melody Maker - he would have this weird E7 on the fifth fret type chord under his fingers. I thought it was maybe you needed to be in Soho , taking drugs and having sex with Anne Briggs in obscure positions, and talking existentialism with Bert and John to dig stuff like that.

Also from the sleeve notes pf The Blues Project , I got to name check JP Donleavy and The Ginger Man - there was a song called Ginger Man, about jugband legend Fritz Richmond.

I've done Open University courses with less education in them than that album sleeve.
