How am I going to link those two together ? Well. one of the "delights" of Sunday mornings is the end of the " Sunday Service" on the radio. At the end of the service, there's usually a spot where the organist, who are generally power-crazed monomaniacs and loons, breaks out from all the boring sluggish hymn-tunes and go a bit barmy ....whooshing up and down the numerous keyboards, pulling out all the stops ( literally) ( that's where the expression comes from) and ....and ... ... often playing quite a few bum notes in the process. ....... which no doubt they hope we won't notice. .......... but I do. It cheers me up no end to hear them cocking it up !!!!! ........... and today's was no exception. The Blackbird's song is bit like that. He sings most of his song sensibly and correctly. But at the end, there's nearly always few bum notes. If you haven't noticed that, have a closer listen next time you can. Aha .... the "link" has been established/explained/justified/triumphantly achieved ! But now, having scored a few points, here's "En Gallop" ..by Joanna Newsom.
