Richard Thompson..”52 Vincent Black Lightning..”

by on 06. Jul, 2009 in general

This is a man some call the greatest singer-songwriter-guitar player ever.
I’m not sure of that, but I’ll certainly put him in the top..two.
This song speaks to anybody who’s living their life fully..and the hell with the consequence, not to mention what the neighbors think.
Sent out particularly to Karl..
RIP.
(Now ya get it don’t ya!).

    Definitely the greatest singer-songwriter-guitar player ever!
    He just has acres more emotional range than anyone else.
    My favourite YouTube of him is ‘Banish Misfortune’…
