Sandy Denny també va néixer, com J.T., l´any 1947 (avui fa 67 anys a Wimbledon), però per desgracia només en va viure 31...
Quan al juliol de 2010 Richard Thompson va venir a Mallorca com a darrer cap de cartell dels Waiting For Waits, em va saber molt greu no tenir temps de demanar-li que ens fes una versió del "Who Knows Where The Time Goes?", com havia fet uns anys abans al Brampton Live Festival (vaig llegir que Thompson només ha tocat aquest exquisit tema de la seva ex-companya Denny tres o quatre vegades als darrers 40 anys!).
Vos la deixo (CAPRITrack #9 - "Who Knows Where The Time Goes?") en dues versions:
(NOTA IMPORTANT: els que mirau Orphans Of Waits amb ipad m´heu comentat que no podeu visualitzar els videos, però no tenc ni idea de per qué...així que de moment deixaré enllaços visibles a youtube)
1) versió acústica de Sandy Denny (06/01/1947 - 21/04/1978) l´any 1973 al "John Peel Show"

2) la que apareix a l´imprescindible Unhalfbricking (Fairport Convention, 1969):

Across the evening sky, all the birds are leaving
But how can they know it's time for them to go?
Before the winter fire, I will still be dreaming
I have no thought of time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
Sad, deserted shore, your fickle friends are leaving
Ah, but then you know it's time for them to go
But I will still be here, I have no thought of leaving
I do not count the time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
And I am not alone while my love is near me
I know it will be so until it's time to go
So come the storms of winter and then the birds in spring again
I have no fear of time
For who knows how my love grows?
And who knows where the time goes?
But how can they know it's time for them to go?
Before the winter fire, I will still be dreaming
I have no thought of time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
Sad, deserted shore, your fickle friends are leaving
Ah, but then you know it's time for them to go
But I will still be here, I have no thought of leaving
I do not count the time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
And I am not alone while my love is near me
I know it will be so until it's time to go
So come the storms of winter and then the birds in spring again
I have no fear of time
For who knows how my love grows?
And who knows where the time goes?
Molt difícilment es tornarà repetir un tàndem com el de la veu de Sandy Denny i la guitarra de Richard Thompson...
Res és casual, ja que resulta que Sy és una comuna francesa d´uns 40 habitants...molt adient per dos hippies com Sandy & Syd, no trobau?
CAPRITrack #10 - "Terrapin"
(Syd Barrett; 06/01/1946 - 07/07/2006)
tema inicial del seu disc de debut The Madcap Laughs
Feliç dia de Reis i e.p.d. Sandy & Syd (gràcies pel vostre maravellós llegat musical)
