One of my favourite songs of all time is Fire and Rain (James Taylor). Whoever sings it can have a pint on me. Blue clicky to follow, but key in Waltham Abbey Folk Club on google and details will come up. Simon |

Not "Blue Clickies" or "Spidery Bonbons" or anything else. Links. And they're called that on account of how they LINK pages together. Hence the expression LINK. Blue clickies my arse. Is it knocking off time yet? |

21 May 04 - 07:19 PM (#1191134) Subject: RE: Waltham Abbey (UK) folk club 24/5/04 From: Lanfranc I could offer "Rain" by Lennon & McCartney, "Four Strong Winds" by Ian & Sylvia Tyson, "Rain on the Roof" by John Sebastian, "Sunny" by Bobby Hebb, "Chilly Winds" as sung by Johnny Cash, and possibly "Hurricane" by Bob Dylan, and maybe "Fire and Rain" if nobody else gets there first.

22 May 04 - 05:53 AM (#1191412) Subject: RE: Waltham Abbey (UK) folk club 24/5/04 From: GUEST,harlowpoet My personal definition of a folk song means it has to be able to hold up accoustically. That said I wouldn't describe something like Raining in My Heart as a folk song, for example. Its too poppish. I'd call the Sun Has Got Its hat on a folk song, though I wouldn't buy a CD, if it was on there. |
