This is Not a Christmas Post
For some reason, the other day I was having a discussion about Pink Floyd with somebody and I blurted out "I don't get David Gilmour." Then I found this utterly lovely version of a great Richard Thompson song.
I may not believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but between the presence of YouTube and this performance, it is obvious that the universe can produce some truly wonderful things.
Strangely enough, I didn't really get David Gilmour until now either. Thanks. And even stranger, I had posted my own version of this beautiful song over at my place not too long ago.
Well, that was exquisite.
