I recommend both of the Fotheringay albums for Denny fans.<br /><br />The second Fotheringay album was resurrected some 40 years on from it being shelved.

It's a small place that holds @ 250 (used to be a playhouse, then the Town Hall, now restored). <br /><br />I'm 54 and was astonished at the number of folks much older than me filling most of the seats. Where were they in the late 70's when I had to listen to Zep (no disrespect) for the millionth time? <br /><br />Anyhow... Thompson's burning, then laying back, telling jokes. <br /><br />Then he says, "I'd like to play something from this folk band I used to be in... The singer was one of the greatest ever, though nobody remembers... You caught on to Nick Drake, though, after a couple of Volkswagen commercials. This is for Sandy Denny..." (I paraphrase...)<br /><br />He starts "Who Knows Where The Time Goes?" A 65 year old stands up and yells, "We never forgot!"<br /><br />Richard stops. Looks. Waits. "Well, good for you. You didn't."<br /><br />I squirmed.Bill Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12707885641934641251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-54451641114587050462014-03-31T23:41:39.672-04:002014-03-31T23:41:39.672-04:00Luv Sandy Denny but Ronstadt can out sing them all...Luv Sandy Denny but Ronstadt can out sing them all.

'Like an Old Fashioned Waltz' the album 'Solo' is on, is gorgeous from beginning to 'No End', which always brings a tear to my eye. (And 'Solo' is nowhere near my favourite track)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
