I do like her earlier work with Slapp Happy, Henry Cow, and the Art Bears, but albums like Supply and Demand or Babble (a collaboration with Kevin Coyne) are more to my taste now.

This video is from 1984 according to the notes on youtube. I haven’t heard anyone perform a finer version of the song.

November 5 2010: I removed the link to the video because the YouTube user’s account was suspended….

A wee bit of tape and two sheets of paper are all the materials you need. It took me about ten minutes to make these, and they are at least as loud as the built in speakers on my iPhone.

This is just one of the fantastic performances by students of Heartwood Guitar Instruction that you can see here. Some of the videos feature solo performers – one rather famous take on “Folsom Prison Blues” – but most show a younger artist performing with some taller people. They all rock, without a doubt.

YouTube is a fantastic way to discover music.

Nothing much to say – I was pleased to find this gem on YT, and I hope you like it too.
