Yeah, Cox can be like that sometimes. At least it’s back up now.
Today being one of your days off, I’m once again throwing themes to the wind. Today, I decided to play music by a band called Steeleye Span (who I have played once previously).
This first song is called Misty Moisty Morning, which I thought was a lovely song name. Then I started to hear the wonderfully distinctive discordiant notes of the song, and was hooked. And Maddy Prior is a great singer, and the chorus “How d’ you do? How d’ you do? And how d’ you do again?” adds lovely surrealism. Lyrics are here.
And next, a song called Two Butchers. This song’s a great traditional murder ballad. And you know how I feel about those. And here are some lyrics.
And since my attempts to find a song about an Elisabethian Psycho named Starin Robin kept turning up Robin Williams instead, I’ll play a traditional Scots song I’ve played before here. The song is Twa Corbies, which you may recall as being about two ravens going out dining. Oddly, the post I played this song in before was the same one I played Steeleye Span in before.
