The explosion/wanderings/redirections/confusions that threads can take never fail to amaze me.

To me it just seems there is an opportunity for anyone to come up with their own interpretations of a common starting point. From then on we get into the realms of the folk process as we can see by comparing the efforts posted so far. For me the Barbara Allen of Stick In The Wheel on Soundcloud was an absolute revelation. If that was what Sharp had heard on his bike travels I think he'd have been in raptures.

Whatever the snipes/jeers/critisms are It was worth it all for me, just for that one track.
