Now that my folk heavy metal concert is out of the way, I'm keen to start in earnest on an album of Colin Dryden songs. I have more than enough songs that I know Colin wrote or played regularly to fill the album, but I'm also interested in writing one or two songs of my own. It was easy to write for Peter Thornton because you learn a lot about a person's character by playing a few years worth of sessions with them. Not so easy for someone I never met, and about whom so little is written. I'm hoping to get to the National Library to listen to the workshop that Colin gave in 1970. If anyone is willing to share an anecdote about their personal experience with Colin, either here or via message, it would be greatly appreciated. Also happy to receive them anonymously if people prefer. Thanks in advance, Daniel,
