BTW right now I am listening to another classic, Martin Carthy's version of 'the famous flower of serving man'. He is awesome.
Martin Carthy! Yeah, he is good. I haven't got any of his stuff but I like his version of "Georgie" of which there is a clip here:

There is also a short clip of Jansch doing "Anji" on there as well.

actually i dont even own a buttplug. But theoretically i think any common household item could be converted into a fairly good one if harnessed appropriately. So perhaps i do have a fine array of plugs.
What about pinapples? Ever try them?

I dusted off my acoustic guitar last night and had fun strumming a few chords and trying to remember what I could play (I usually play electric).
Apart from "Wish You Were Here", a couple of Irish folk songs and some of my own stuff, I can't think what to play!
I don't listen to too much acoustic stuff so that doesn't help.
I was thinking "Wild Wood" by ...[text shortened]... ight be a good one to learn so I've got the tab for that.
What other recommendations?

Originally posted by asromacalcioI have one bone to pick with Jethro Tull. I heard him play Bach's Bourree which he did ok, what, about 1970? Anyway, I read the liner notes and I see this notation: Bourree copyright by Jethro Tull. Not something like, Arrangement copyright by Jethro Tull but blatently denying in the copyright that it was written by J S Bach. That pizzed me off. Just like the Carter Family in the 1930's copyrighted everything they could get their hands on, case in point, a song, of course you never heard of it, not the point. This song is called 'Over the garden wall', which I first heard from a recording by John McCutcheon. Fine and dandy, look at the notes, copyright by the Carter family, something like 1928. So I am researching the song, just out of curiosity and one day I find a copy of a songbook printed in the year 1904, called "Heart Songs". It seems there was a series of books, poetry, songs, stories, etc., sent in as a kind of contest in the early years of the 20th century and this book was the result of some 15,000 submissions. So guess what I find but 'Over the Garden Wall' but this time the song credits are to Harry Hunter, music, and G.D. Fox, words. They wrote it ca. 1880, they were some kind of vaudville comedy song act in that era. But the copyright is assigned to the Carter family. They did that to hundreds of songs and you see it in Jethro Tull's work too. It makes it difficult for regular musicians to include stuff like this in their own CD's or whatever. Those frigging copytights go on for 75 or more years. It kills research into music. It sucks big time.
Very many Jethro Tull songs, Wond'ring Aloud, Sossity, Salamander, Dun Ringill, Moths, Jack in the Green, Requiem, One White Duck readily spring to mind.
