WINTER....where has he referenced it before?
My constant readers here KNOW I ALWAYS give credit to any little tidbit he plays when I see him. In Brooklyn, during conversation with Rosanne, he mumbled a few lines from his song WINTER. I know I have heard him mention this tune elsewhere a few years back. But, I can't recall where or when. Fellow archivists, HELP!!! King Foyle? ANCT? Anyone? Thanks, Benny

During the stories he told when performing "God's Comic" he used to tell that "Winter" was the first song he wrote.
Since you put me down, it seems i've been very gloomy. You may laugh but pretty girls look right through me.

That sounds familiar SP. so then the one he jokingly sang a quick bit from is NOT the one Charlie mentions by Lindisfarne??? THANK YOU both.

I think he said he wrote it when he was about 14 and also used to say, jocularly, that it wasn't very good.sweetest punch wrote:During the stories he told when performing "God's Comic" he used to tell that "Winter" was the first song he wrote.

Re: WINTER....where has he referenced it before?
I didn't catch what he sang during the Roseanne Cash/BAM appearance (give me the approximate time and I'll take another look), but "Winter Song" by Lindisfarne and "Winter" by Declan MacManus are two different songs.bronxapostle wrote:That sounds familiar SP. so then the one he jokingly sang a quick bit from is NOT the one Charlie mentions by Lindisfarne???

EC says the latter is the first song he ever wrote, at age 13 or 14. He's mentioned it before; he definitely talked about it to Marian McPartland when she interviewed him for her show. He usually says he doesn't remember how it went, but mentions it to send up his earnest adolescent gloominess at the time.
I don't think it will be showing up on any "unofficial releases", unless there was a taper in the right Twickenham church basement, circa 1969.

Re: WINTER....where has he referenced it before?
No, it was from the 2003 show when she interviewed him in her studio. He mentions it on track 5 of the CD.bronxapostle wrote:was it mentioned with Marian that awesome day up at Tanglewood?

Doc...I thought you knew my computer has been on life support for about eighteen months now, AND I am the stupidest of smart phone users eleven months since upgrading from my beloved flip top. DON'T YOU KNOW YOUR ANALOG FRIEND BY NOW????
