Mojorule Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 Thanks for sharing this inferior version with us Gruntfuttle. If I were to be completely honest about Christy Moore's performance, I'd say he'd got the chords and melody all wrong. Not to mention the title. If he'd only listen to the Fairport Convention recording properly, and go back and learn that melody in full, then he could think about departing from it. But then it's not worth telling some people. One night when I was running a seance, Sandy Denny told me as much about a particular aspiring folkie, but nobody else could hear her, because they didn't have my psychic talents.

ol fred Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 It's such fun visiting with my friends again. I hate to log off because I know I'm going to miss the wisdom emanating from Oakland...but I really have work to do. Have fun !

Smurfbird Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Mojo! Hands down that is the greatest version of Matty Groves that I have ever heard. My god, clearly Richard Thompson, John Martyn, Leo Kottke and Bert Jansch could all take a lesson or two from you. And probably have. I'm sure Leo, in particular, stole a few of your phrasings along the way. Thanks for that link! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are too kind, Papasmurf, which now that I have read Jerry's dissertation on the Discovery Channel probably means that you are calling this rendition something unprintable in Chinese under your breath. But thanks for the kind public comments in any case. Evidently my unshaven look makes me appear older than Leo Kottke and Richard Thompson. Probably combined. And I'm sure that now that John Martyn and Bert Jansch have passed to the other side, they will be able to take some lessons from me, although Sandy Denny will have to act as medium in that case. But whoever your god may be, I suspect that I have nothing to teach him. Jerry, on the other hand may have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojorule Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 Have none of you people any accounts you could be getting on with? Nah, mine are done by Ladbrookes. I usually get Sandy to pass me tips, though. She has an astonishing form book and a really good system, if you can only speak her language.

Get the hands a clappin and the feet a stompin. Attaboy. Southern Jumbo right? Cheers, Sal. Not sure my wife would be too happy at seeing anybody's female cousin overlaying me, especially in the context of this song. Still, would be really nice to have a fiddler to play with. Dave Swarbrick's playing on the Fairport version is so impressive it took me a while to spot what Richard Thompson was doing. If I could find a singer, that would be a big plus too. I like singing, but I hate my voice, which makes singing harmony a good compromise. Sandy Denny is so good and so arch on Matty Groves that it took me a while to hear what Dave Swarbrick was doing. Southern Jumbo it is. A lowly Woody Guthrie version, with strings as old as Woody himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do bannisters with a gloss finish let you get downstairs quicker or are satin finish ones faster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
