Steeleye Spanish ft Francis Rossi
First time I've heard/seen this.... And frankly, that was too much.
Absolute dross.

I heard it a few weeks back.
Not really my thing. Steeleye Span never were, apart from the odd single. I've got Thomas The Rhymer gathering dust somewhere.

"I've got Thomas The Rhymer gathering dust somewhere." Any idea how weird this sounds? I wheel him out for poetry readings Mind you, poetry readings? That sounds even weirder Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming. Now, here with his rendition of Barnacle Bill the Sailor is Uncle Tommy accompanied by Auntie Jean on her famous maracas.

That sounds even weirder Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming. Now, here with his rendition of Barnacle Bill the Sailor is Uncle Tommy accompanied by Auntie Jean on her famous maracas. My Dad was in Korea with the Army. In his infantry unit was a soldier named Holmes who everybody called Shakespeare. Here's a sample of why he got the name. Here's the original version. "There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Khatmandu, There's a little marble cross below the town; There's a broken-hearted woman tends the grave of Mad Carew, And the Yellow God forever gazes down." Here's the, I feel superior, version created somewhere South of the 38th Parallel in the winter of 1951 "There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Khatmandu, There's a little marble cross below the town; There's a girl called Nelly Tucker, for Sixpence you can fcuk her You can with her the night for Half a crown"

Steeleye Span, great great band (especially early on). Horrible misapplication of "quoing up" by someone who really ought to know better. Late 2023!! Back in the day I wondered if Span would learn something about a really dynamic rhythm section from Quo. Nooo! It seems to have gone backwards.
