The London of my childhood

Before sound

No sound needed.

Can still bring me to tears that now.

I've been told my performance of that song, along with my fingerpicking to accompany it, is better than his!
How about that?

Bet you learnt it from his book (Roland Rivron once did a sketch on it with the likes or Mark King and Jimmy Page doing the McTell book and having McTell in the dock)

Hard to get past his voice on it, though, Tone. Perfect timbre for it.

I wish I had a pound for every time I was told my singing voice was identical to his in the 70's and 80's.......I'd have a fortune...honestly!

try this tony, even I found it interesting.

I use Bit Torrent MG.
I also find which torrent to get my free music and films with from this excellent free app

yes, I wondered what you were on about.
I read it as part of a uni module. strange how some parts of London we think of as posh, were crime ridden slums.

The guy that wrote the book is 30 days younger than me....his observations of London will be much like my own.
