Re: (TV) (OT) Richard Thompson

Belated thanks for this reminder, Keith.

The first real "rock" concert I ever attended was Fairport Convention in
Dublin. It was 1970, I think, soon after the release of Full House. And
Richard Thompson was the main man then, all those years ago, though always
self-effacing. It was a big thrill; I couldn't believe how loud they were!

And Danny Thompson; the same Danny T of Pentangle fame, etc. etc.? Even
older!
