A pretty raw version of a wonderful old Fairport Convention song. Recorded using the built-in mic on my iPhone, with elec guitar running through a small VOX amp w/ some delay. The room is hardly soundproof … BUT … I like it … hope you do too … enjoy

Genesis Hall - Fairport Convention

My father he rides with your sheriffs
And I know he would never mean harm
But to see both sides of a quarrel
Is to judge without hate or alarm

Oh, oh, helpless and slow
And you don’t have anywhere to go

You take away homes from the homeless
And leave them to die in the cold
The gypsy who begged for your favors
Will laugh in your face when you’re old

Oh, oh, helpless and slow …

Well, one man he drinks up his whiskey
Another he drinks up his wine
And they’ll drink till their eyes are red with hate
For those of a different kind

When the rivers run thicker than trouble
I’ll be there at your side in the flood
It was all I could do to keep myself
From taking revenge of blood

Oh, oh, helpless and slow
And you don’t have anywhere to go

Nice one. I like the stripped down approach - really powerful on this.

Ha ha, I thought you were supposed to be working! Great stuff, really good. Reminds me of our happy times in our sitting room with you entertaining us all. Excellent!
