I just finished listening to it. I'm a pretty big fan of the performers, but still learned a few things and was delighted that Andrew included brief mentions of The Ink Spots, Johny Otis, Bruce Johnston, and others that tie into the overall "500 Songs" podcast narrative.
New episode just dropped!

Listen to part two of Andrew’s delve into “Who Knows Where The Time Goes?” by Fairport Convention and the intertwining careers of Joe Boyd, Sandy Denny, and Richard Thompson.

Available on Spotify, Apple and via the website: 500songs.com/podcast/song...

It's weird the connections that come up in my episodes. Like I'm currently doing music clips, and wanted to find one on YouTube to share here, because Sandy Denny's "What Will I Do With Tomorrow?", recorded with Manfred Mann, was recorded for the soundtrack of soft-porn sex comedy Swedish Fly Girls.

R.I.P. Brian Wilson. I saw him perform once, on the 2020 Cayamo music cruise (festival at sea) with his Large Band. That's where I took this photo.

Just to say @500songspodcast.bsky.social *is* the official account for the podcast (we'll get the domain sorted as soon as I have spoons). It's @elsawilliams.bsky.social who's running it, but for me and with my approval.

Check out Emma’s new single! Fate has never sounded so enticing 💕
My first song in 5 years came out last Wednesday. It’s an indie-folk song I wrote about being a deeply romantic person living in decidly unromantic times. Here’s the link if that sounds like it might be your kinda thing:

I've been relistening to 500 Songs episodes while making Spotify playlists. In between I've started listening to Malcolm Gladwell's "Revisionist History" podcast. By total coincidence I got to the point where I heard back to back both talking about Elvis Presley's "Are You Lonesome Tonight?"

Thread to read for fans of Fairport Convention:
The thing about doing an episode on anyone involved in the English folk scene of the sixties is however many albums you think you have involving the people on that scene, you actually have roughly about 1/20 as many as you need.

Apocalypse sunset, Los Angeles. Luckily, no new fires today, but the smoke is still everywhere. So many people I know lost everything. It’s been a scary week.
