The best of Sandy Denny's music inhabits the shore or the riverbank, or drifts upon the sea in the company of it's dislocated sailors

The Internet .She is taking over my life. [now that's a point .is the internet female or masculine?Is it "Le" or "La"?].Yesterday it was my mirror:today my reading companion..........................
"When I write songs,I often picture myself standing on a beach or standing on a rock or a promenade or something. I just put myself there sometimes and without realising it I find myself describing what I'm looking at and often it's the sea.I keep promising myself  I'll put myself somewhere else when I'm writing songs but I really can't imagine anywhere that's nicer than that........." Sandy Denny~ 1973

I'm busy reading my Folk Book (see previous post)

Interesting post. I have been awakened to folk over the past few months and have been listening to people like Sandy Denny, Vashti Bunyan and Linda Perhacs. So much great music out there from the late 60's/early 70's. I've also found some interesting, more modern, folk (psychedelic folk) in The Espers, Greg Weeks, Meg Baird, etc.
