I can only assume that your children haven't stabbed you in your sleep yet because your will is complicated.

One for those of you who think, like me, that our midfield would be better if Robert Johnson was in there to help out.

It's 1966. Eric and Jack (then on temporary leave from Manfred Mann, which is, I assume, why Paul Jones is playing the harmonica), without Ginger (with Steve York from the Spencer Davis Group sitting in) but with Steve Winwood showing Eric how he should eventually sing the single greatest song of the last 1,000 years. We had to wait for Cream, though, before Eric got to solo on it. Interesting record, this.

"Aquarian Moon" by Bobby Hutcherson from Happenings (released January 1967, recorded February 1966)

Specifically, Herbie Hancock's solo. I am just under 5 minutes in:

The remastered Blue Note CDs are works of art. It sounds like this one was recorded earlier today.

Just quietly, I think you were probably listening to Sid sing "My Way". My recollection (my brother bought the single) is that it was the "A" side of the 12-inch single with a duet of "Belsen Was A Gas" with Ronnie Biggs on the "B".

Sid probably wouldn't be allowed to sing a few of these lyrics, now - but those were gentler, more innocent times: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKpsqgt2-9k

Also, he had a much better voice than Frank Sinatra (unlike Sinatra, he only sang flat when he was doing it deliberately), so this probably deserves preservation (or embalming, at least).

I’ve recently been revisiting some of Barclay James Harvest’s 1970s albums, which I loved in my pre-adolescence (I was a strange kid without access to a radio, what can I say?). They never really had a great deal of commercial success, but I reckon they hold up better than some of their more popular contemporaries of the day. Anyway, here are a few tracks:

"Song for You": https://youtu.be/4zA6Flw3Db0
"Ra": https://youtu.be/NkdwOoPuHuU
"Negative Earth": https://youtu.be/qJM1oADZNXY
"Sweet Jesus": https://youtu.be/-R4GSjoPQ1I
"Poor Boy Blues"/"Mill Boys"/"For No-One": https://youtu.be/1L0k9jlFRnw

They even have a (very ‘70s) music video!
https://youtu.be/xn5rp2pIXy0

P4S, are you a fan of any of their work?

And of course, going down the youtube rabbit hole, after a pit stop with Cascada, I get here.

"Sweet Home Alabama" - over the PA in the first World Cup Game, between overs 11 and 12 in the English innings. I'm not sure whether the English or the South Africans have the greater affinity for this number?

Last time I looked on youtube this was nowhere to be found - Billy Connolly's lovingly presented homage to Bert Jansch. The roll call is breathtaking - Anne Briggs, Davey Graham, John Renbourn, Martin Carthy (still rightly cross about Paul Simon copyrighting his star rendition of Scarborough Fair), Jackson C Frank, Jacqui, Brownie McGhee, Albert Lee, Wizz Jones and Billy himself playing banjo with Bert.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DONv5nqjbsE

Wizz's cover of Robin Williamson's "The First Girl I Loved" is a gem - but it's all great.

Here's Martin's timeless version of Scarborough Fair: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCjUDUshHdQ

I've seen Martin a few times, most recently at a pub in Brunswick with his daughter Eliza, his wife Norma and Saul Rose, playing, amongst others, this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFbPskZlnSs

I defy you to try not to tap your feet to this.

Here's Martin when he was little, playing live with his great collaborator, Davey Swarbrick, here playing the mandolin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5qk-TzwHsI

Here's Martin singing the Gower Wassail with Steeleye Span: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vwwEmQmSWs

And here singing The Lark in the Morning in a duet with Maddy Prior: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVYGANALIgk

Which takes us back to Martin and Norma when they were young, singing another unaccompanied Wassail with Norma's late siblings, Lal and Mike: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE2BsU-dVdI

Here's Davey in his proper element - what a magnetic performer he was, with Fairport at Glastonbury in 1971: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbY7c1mVlOM

And with Sandy and Fairport, playing "A Sailor's Life": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szrGtFxtWXU

And here's Davey on Fairport's greatest moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1it7BP5PckI

And, almost finally, perhaps the most beautiful sounds ever committed to record - Sandy, singing harmonies with herself and Davey Swarbrick playing her home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHstyoGkMIU

You have to be patient for the Swarbrick entrance, though. Only Davey could possibly follow Sandy's triple act.

And, because I couldn't leave things on that sad note, here's Sandy's duet with Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin IV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-21AtiWV3TE

And everybody's favourite upbeat folk song of 1970:

Norma, with Martin and Eliza singing "The Moving On Song":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEnq8mYVtOM

Here's my personal favourite version of that song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4cUx5yAmF0&list=PLVCox2ogwJOsGKU2d9_VwupALxy9l4LYT&index=8

Dave Burland is singing lead on this one.

Here he is, from the same magnificent 1978 album, putting Roberta Flack to shame: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PpNir7-UEM&list=PLVCox2ogwJOsGKU2d9_VwupALxy9l4LYT&index=4

From the same album, here's my favourite singer taking the lead:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pdueTLwCN4&list=PLVCox2ogwJOsGKU2d9_VwupALxy9l4LYT&index=2

And here's the three of them, taking turns singing verses of "Shoals of Herring": Dick, Tony (2 verses), Dave (2 verses), Dick, Tony (2 verses) and Dick's magnificent final verse - surely one of the most hauntingly beautiful moments ever committed to record: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rswiT9xNIME&list=PLVCox2ogwJOsGKU2d9_VwupALxy9l4LYT&index=5

And here's "Jamie Foyers" - at his concerts, Dick now pretends he doesn't know this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6DybbjrX-Q&list=PLVCox2ogwJOsGKU2d9_VwupALxy9l4LYT&index=7

Try not to weep at the beauty of Dave's remarkable harmonies on the last (reprise) verse.

If we could get them to change the lyrics to ten weeks gone it might be a bit of fun
