Subject: RE: The Folk Process
I `ad that Mark Knoffler in my cab the other day. `e `ad a blooming great pile of books under `is arm. I `ad a quick shufty and, wouldja` believe it, they was all that Cecil Sharp`s stuff.
I said, "What`s up here then Mark? You going full blown trad now or something"
`e said, "Nah, Jim. Far from it. We`re going un-folking. I`m on my way to Abbey Road Studios. By the time we`ve given some of these the guitar, base and drum treatment and they play `em on `Drivetime` they won`t be folk songs any more!!"
Whaddam I Like??
