"The First Time That Ever I Saw Your Face"

Instrumental version of the famous Ewan Maccoll tune, father of the English folk revival, during the 1960's. The song was adapted by Bert Jansch. My guitar is tuned to DADGAD. Played on a nylon string acoustic for a softer feel and sound. While Bert's reinterpretation strays from the original tune, it's a fitting tribute. My version is more or less a copy of Bert's.

Reno Nevada - Fairport Convention, 1968

The original line up with the under rated Judy Dibble on vocals take on Richard and Mimi Farina's spooky folk classic "Reno Nevada" on French television from the late '60's. Richard Thompson's guitar is sublime and nice to see tiger on bass.
