Robert says
From the looks of Youtube, many love “The River Song” as much as I do.
Maestro Donovan also covers his song live (Faerieworlds Live 2012) on Youtube.
In the live performance, Donovan “noodles” around the neck in preparation for those beautiful arpeggios.
Thanks, Jerry, for teaching us the Bard’s entire oeuvre.
Frank says
So, when can we expect an end to the moratorium on adding to the “Coming Up” list? Just asking.
Jerry says
When there are 10 songs left Frank.
20 was too many. They took too long to get to the top.
I think 10 will be more reasonable.
Frank says
Fair enough! Thanks for the reply.
