Hello Guy. Now something has struck me as a little bit of a sidebar to today which is obviously in my extensive research about our subject it took me down a rabbit hole on folk music. It's only

suddenly occurred to me that if you listen to a lot of folk music,

if English folk music was your historical reference,

you would think that ye oldie England basically consisted of towns

that were just full of blokes who'd come from another town who were looking for a girl

who are mate of theirs back home used to know well and just checking up on her

making sure that her hair flowed still down her hair and then then going home

that's the entire genre is it that That's it isn't it? It's always you know if you go please seek a fair maid and I knew her well and she's that well I would mate I'd look her up but I got to sell these turnips first but all of this with one finger in your ear

I was really into folk music actually I have to say I went through a folk music moment it was it was a it was a bit Hancock I think you know.

But I did I did like it and I do know I used to try and you, we've had this discussion before, play make up music to old ballads that I,

so I had a book of old ballads, but I didn't know what the music was.

And of course our guest today was in Magna Carta.

That's right.

I thought he was in Pentangle for a bit,

but then you said you thought he was in Penthouse.

And we were both right. But Magna Carta, of course, he's been in with the Elton John band since 1970 Bla.

And he's 72, I think it was madman

madman across the water was when he became a permanent member of the band and he's

been there pretty much he sort of dipped in and he's kind of I guess you see him in the way that you'd look at Mike Garson with

Bowie yeah but even more so because Bowie was just that in an absolute fixture

I wasn't always there but to be honest it wasn't the big bits he was always there.

Yeah and and that band was such a fixture you know with Nigel Olson and Dean Murray and Ray Cooper
