Hey, I'm already there, Ralph, I'm the same age as you! :0)
But I put glitter on my wrinkles and highlights in my hair...and I laugh at the way my chest is so in love with my waist, and the way my waist has gone off in search of my knees..Yikes!! :0) LOL
And soon, I'll be even older in years, but even younger in mind, with more glitter on my ever-increasing wrinkles...and throughout it all I'll tap my feet, clap my hands, whoop and occasionally, on a good day, still throw myself around my bedroom to The Oysterband or Eliza singing (fabulously) 'Ten Thousand Miles' on The Big Session Vol 1...
I may also listen to Clannad or Enya, or Loreena, or Bruce Murdoch, or Ron Bankley or Noah Zacharin, or The Corrs or Barry Lister, or Tom Bliss, or Duncan McFarlane, with or without his band, depending on how energetic I'm feeling at the time.
I tell you what, Ralph, you wanna see another way of seeing English Traditional music? Then pop oop to Otley in Yorkshire when Duncan and his band are playing and you'll see a folk club packed out, with folk jumping up and down, singing along, cheering, clapping, smiling, laughing...and that's just the band! :0)
No, seriously though, when I saw them at Otley Folk Festival they were...*sensational* There wasn't room to breathe, and everyone (of all ages) was dancing wildly. Duncan had that audience in the palm of his hand, and his joy and exuberance spilled out to everyone there. He takes English Traditional music to a whole new level. And at Sidmouth Folk Week, the first one we had, for me, they outshone the main act in every way. Absolutely superb!
