R.I.P.

Could you tell me more about him Cottsy?

Reppin' Cwmbwrla, #SwanseaNation, south Wales. Trundleista. Lowri. ♥ - Cariad gyda fy holl galon, y dywysoges Llanelli. Almost as much as I love the Swans. It's G to the Monk. You ain't ready for this kinda technology - N Dizz. #TMT #TheMonkTeam. “I watched the West Ham game last weekend and, I can’t make stuff up, it wasn’t great at all, was it? I’ve spoken individually to all the players and I’ve told them all what I expect from them." “We’re all in this together and I want everyone to know that we’ve given our all. That’s all I can ask for.”

You don't have to subscribe to a cause to recognise courage in one who defends it.

He was an American folk singer, banjo player and left wing activist famous for his protest songs who performed at Barack Obama's inauguration.

I only started listening to him after Bruce Springsteen released his Seeger Sessions album though.

He must have been on your radar before that though, Cotts? You knew who he was at least?

That must have been great for you discovering all that for the first time and trawling through the back catalogues.

I remember Triny Lopez and his If I had a Hammer-they played it at the Vetch. I heard the words Id hammer out justice, I d hammer our a freedom, Id hammer out a love between my brothers and my sisters all over this land. I thought-feckme.
I got into the music of Folk ,eg Dylan,Peter Paul and Mary especially and their message is as relevant now as it was then.
To think the Radio Wales presenter this morning confessed her not know "The Bells of Rhymney" by Idris Davies was put to music by Seeger says much about our nation.

I'd say I was on the right path but the Seeger Sessions album made the journey that little bit shorter.

Something like that, aye.

There's a brilliant passage in Tosche's "Country" about him sitting in on one of Jerry Lee's recording sessions and the utter bedlam that entailed.

The Chuck Berry episode is my favourite Jerry Lee story. You know the one...
