Have never subscribed to a Richard Thompson lsit, despite being a huge fan. Can you point me in the right direction please Phil?
Thanks.

>Been pulling my hair out... which W H Auden poem did the band/Gerard adapt and on which LP? Mental block!
Journal of an Airman (on Tolerance) and Dear, Though The Night Is Gone (on Rough Music).
Coincidentally, this the second time I have delved into this very topic today -- on the Richard Thompson list we have been mulling over poems set to music. Arising from that, I learnt that Gerard's dad was a librarian, and Gerard himself worked in a library. Very rock 'n' roll.
