A good day gathering song lyrics, playing tunes and compiling a set for the Walking Tour. Many of my songs have no definitive recorded version yet and I love sharing them and hearing them evolve with playing. There are new songs…strange ones involving hangmen, mysterious birds, chalk-white horses and stories heard in the pub. Songs of the roadside which need telling. Who knows whether they will stand the test of time like some of the sweeping traditional songs we will sing…big songs from a small island. I have Rowan’s voice next to mine and one of the greatest bands that ever had the bottle to walk all day, and then gig. It is my craziest week of the year…certainly theirs…and hopefully yours. Meet you there. JJ
