Great choice.....currently chilling ( if that's the right phrase given that it's still mid-20sC) to Trader Horne... |

There's a spirit of fine vintage acoustic music in this thread at the moment. I'm playing a lot of Bert Jansch back catalogue at the moment. Surprising how many live recordings of Bert I've accumulated- one of them turned out to be in 2 versions, single and double CD. A 2006 gig in Sheffield.

Listening to… Those bands in the Cropredy lineup that I’ve not heard of. I do this every year as I like to know a bit about all the bands, and I enjoy them more live if I’m familiar with their music. So far I’m really enjoying Barbara, formed by Brighton-based brothers Henry and John Tydeman. They’re a bit quirky: visually like Sparks, musically like I don’t know who! Is it pop? I shall be in the mosh for them anyway  I might see some of you there. |

I have a few Magna Carta albums (picked up a 2CD compilation a few years back that contained four albums), but I have never quite warmed to them. Al Stewart, on the other hand, is a lifelong (well, for over 40 years anyway) favourite of mine. |

She's very good, ain't she... Both (completely different, one with talented 'youngsters', the other with talented oldies) versions on the Tonight programme are well worth YouTubing... |

What's the betting the album will hit number one. The last one made number 6 and the Boygenius number one. I saw her with Conor in Better Oblivion, fantastic. Try watching the Boygenius set from Pukkelpop, one of the best live sets ever, although the last song, while stunning, is NFFW. |

It was the - unsuccessful - Lori, Don't Go Right Now single that got me interested and its parent album, Russians & Americans, that made me a fan. Not the most obvious entry point but I still love that album. |

That was the first album of Al's I bought when it came out, although a friend at school had already introduced me to some of the classic albums - Past, Present and Future, Modern Times and and Orange, which led me into my addiction.

Anybody spotted the root domain name of this server?
Anybody remember ASML and Muffy?
Anybody got a copy of 'Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time'?

Jealous of you seeing him in 1975. I was living in Guildford then, but as I was only 10 or 11, I was a little too young to have taken any notice at the time. I do have a copy of SLAGIATT, and although I was never a member of ASML when it was a mailing list, I am a member of its Facebook incarnation. Not sure about the root domain name though - how would you see it? |

Not sure about the root domain name though - how would you see it? I might have seem AS on the Modern Times tour. I know I saw him while still @ school in 1974, or3. I was sufficiently keen to buy Modern Times on release. I have a copy of SLAGIATT. Bought it by phone before I knew much about that Interweb thing. Who or what are ASML and Muffy? |

Al Stewart Mailing List. Run my Muffy (& Dan), on Sun SparkStations, either side of their bed, in California. I occasionally helped out. The root domain for this server is smallfruit.net As for the Modern Times tour, I have a photo of the band, signed over a few Cropredys, but I can't currently find it. |

I have some AS fanzines maybe called Jackdaw which came from the US, some years ago. |
