Fairport Convention -- Liege And Lief
https://youtu.be/MPuAOF3TiLk?si=96FZKOl5w5FX6zbS

https://urusai.social/@gnitro has just mentioned listening to this album but finding it was not his cup of tea.

I rediscovered this album about a year ago. Like @gnitro, I'm a Kpop fan, so one might expect my reation to be similar to his, since the sound of British folk rock of the late sixties is far indeed from the polished studio production of today's Seoul .

Yet I do respond to that "Come All Ye". I don't think it's just nostalgia on my part; there's something about the rediscovery of traditional English music and its re-expression in a more modern idiom that stirs me, albeit in a fashion without flags, Faragism, or any other kind of fascistic nonsense.

After months of scanning the shelves for a library or second hand copy of Philip K Dick -- Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said, today was my lucky library day!

Thoughts on Elgar:

- I'm not sure that I will be able to get past the imperialist absurdities of the masque to give "The Crown of India" a fair hearing.

- I would count myself lucky if I were never to hear any more "Pomp and Circumstance' ever again.

- the cello concerto never fails to move me.

- I love the Sea Slumber song from "Sea Pictures".

Of course there is so much more to Elgar, but I just wanted to get these thoughts off my chest.

Apparently it is #NationalStrawberryDay today.
This seems like the wrong time of year (and I wonder if #turnips might not be more appropriate at the moment), but I'll jump on the bandwagon with a #video of Strawberries and Cream (or Ginnie Pug) from Playford's Dancing Master, 1670.
