Thread Name: what musical legends have you known
Subject: RE: what musical legends have you known
One night in the 60s i was at the Ken Colyer Jazz club in Little Newport St in London for an all nighter folk session, due to be run by Noel Murphy...I was early, it had no license so only coffee and tea were available, and it was pissing down outside, avery bedraggled young woman came ina nd was sorta nervous. and asked if she coulkld sit at the table with me... i said sure and offered her a coffee as she looked cold and tired, she said " I have no money to buy you back, I heard I might geytt a chance to do a floor spot and might get some work out of it". Well, I was flush, she was a nice person so I sat with her all night chatting and buying her coffee, and we were very comfortable together. and I have loved her music since. That was how I am proud to say, I met sandy denny on her first night in lLondon and was able , in a dvance ,able to do something for all the pleasure she gave me with her music afterwards.
