Do you think the guys have pre-recoreded the narration parts that feature inbetween songs on the Babbacome Lee album to play on stage inbetween the BL songs on the tour? That would be much cooler than them just being introduced normally don't you think?
when they played BL live in 71/72(when they toured it after its release) i seem to remember they had the narration on tape Perhaps they'll have it in FLAC this time round  |

and when the "puzzle" of what happened to John Lee was finally solved, I wrote a verse - in what I hoped was the same (or at least similar) style as Swarb used on the album - to finish off the story & sent it to the guys putting on the stage show - they didn't use it. It's probably still on this board somewhere...

Found it...
A final coda to "The Cell Song", to follow "The Hanging Song":
"Now I lie dying in my bed, but I'm thankful for my life;
the sixty years the good Lord gave to me.
Farewell to dear old Devon, farewell my darling wife"...
The final heartfelt words of old John Lee.

I like The Festival Bell. It's a good old-fashioned story song, .
It always reminds me of the Beverly Hillbillies theme. Don't know why. "So they loaded up the truck and moved to Cropredy". Yeah, that's the one. Now then, who's going to volunteer to be Granma sat in the rocking chair on top of the truck? (Anji, save a space in your diary......  ) I'll drive, MikeB can play the Banjo........ |

Anyone planning on Lougborough take note: Their webiste is up the spout and the Box Office consists of one rather frazzled lady in what sounds like a very noisy office. Practice your phonetic alphabet, you will be spelling everything out. Possibly several times.

Ahem The phonetic alphabet is all very well - until you encounter someone who thinks Quebec is spelled with a "K".  Coat (and scarf and gloves) on. Major topic drift and all that. |
