This ballad is also known as "Lord Beichan", "Young Beckie" or "The Turkish Lady", whose name may be Sophia, Isabel, Essels or Susan Pye. The earliest known version is a   more...broadside from 1624.

It has been claimed that the hero of this story was Gilbert a Becket, father of Saint Thomas a Becket of Canterbury, who was captured by the Turks during the Crusades and released by his captor's daughter, who followed him to London. The story goes that she knew only two words of English: 'Gilbert" and "London," and that she cried the name of her lover through the street of London until she found him. It sounds far-fetched, but it's interesting that, in all the variations on this ballad, the name of the knight is, to some degree, a corruption of "Becket".  less

Harmonica lessons

A song about depression. Don't bother trying to cheer me up. I wrote this a long time ago and don't remember what, if anything, was the impetus for it. It was probably around the same time that I wrote   more..."I Don't Know Why."

Lyrics:

...I'm down
...I'm down, I'm down
...Never get up again
...I'm down, down in the dry lands
...The desert
...I'm down in the doldrums.

I'm in the middle of a circle of nowhere
People in a ring swing around my head
And the thoughts of a time long gone surround me
Whirling and swirling and weighing like lead.

I see a woman with deep black hair
And a twisted smile planted on her face
But her eyes don't blink and they stare right through me
To another time and another place.

I see a glittering sparkle of the sunlight
Only a glimpse of the brightness past.
Little pink hands are crushing my memory
Squeezing my mind into a pulp at last.  less

It's a sad thing when someone turns his back on his family.

This song is on my second CD, "Laws of Chance".

We all have to grow up some time. One of my early songs.

Lyrics:

Two little children grew up in the same neighbourhood.
Two little children treated each other so good
Now that they're grown up whatever happened   more...to the
Dreams they used to dream together?
Whatever happened to the time they shared?

Two little children no more, in the bright summer days.
Where has the sun gone? Where have the happy faces gone to?
Where is tomorrow, where are the promises that
Yesterday we made each other?
Whatever happened to the time we shared?  less

Don't doubt the power of folk songs to resolve world problems.

This is an old Korean folk song called Arirang. I heard it many many years ago and had forgotten about it. For some reason it recently popped into my head again. It's a short and simple tune, but it's   more...very beautiful. I only hope I can do it justice.

I don't know exactly how it's supposed to go, so this is my best approximation from memory. This arrangement is completely from scratch.  less
