The Banks of the Nile

Here's another 'look what I found today' offering. I still have the album Fotheringay on vinyl. This particularly haunting track is scratched beyond the scope of digital remastering.



"Cursed be those cruel wars ... !"

Reynardine

Eureka!

I have been baffled about the inability to publish audio on blogs. This guy's solved my problem.

• You set up your videocam focused on the record sleeve. If you haven't got that, a totally unrelated subject will suffice. In this case, any passing fox will do!
• Press record on the videocam.
• Quickly, in the immediate vicinity, you play the track on whatever external audio device you are using. (Disinterested fox wanders off at this point; don't follow it!)
• After recording you pursue the usual time-consuming process of downloading from the videocam, edit as you think fit, upload to youtube.
• While all this is happening, take the opportunity to track down the fox and rescue fair maiden from his brightly-shining dentures.
• By the following morning you may have a recording you can embed into your blog.

• If that works, and you're really fortunate, you might find said fair maiden beside you as you wake!
• Relish in the sublime expressions of gratitude demonstrated by fair maiden.

Bear in mind that the above-described activity is probably totally illegal. Whatever you do, do NOT take your dog with you as you track the fox!

It might be wise to disable public viewing on youtube.

Did you like that? It's Sandy Denny again.

Fotheringay

At last! I've been trying to discern the lyrics of this song for years.
