Kate Bush came on the scene in 1978, the same year that Sandy Denny died. I call that a reincarnation moment in the history of music.

BOB, I gave my sister a 3-CD compilation box set of SANDY DENNY music titled "WHO KNOWS WHERE THE TIME GOES" on the HANNIBAL label back in 2008 as a Christmas gift. She still has it and would defend it if anyone tried to wrest it from her possession. I created a true fan, like yourself. She now has many other DENNY/FAIRPORT/STRAWBS recordings and treasures them all, just like your listeners here today. Thanks for the retrospective!

Randomly used in a dystopian film called How I Live Now. If I remember correctly, someone starts a car and this song pops on.I have to assume the director liked the song since there was no context given, but it's always a pleasure when more left field choices appear on film soundtracks.

@Dean. I attended several concerts at McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica during my 37-year residence in the LA area. Always excellent acoustics in their small performance space. One memorable gig was Van Dyke Parks's unveiling of his then still-unfinished album, "JUMP," a thematic LP based on the Br'er Rabbit tales by Joel Chandler Harris. He brought along the vocalist from that record, Kathy Dalton. She was terrific as was the opening act, the ROBERT GREENIDGE BAND, who did a killer version of BLONDIE's "Heart of Glass," complete with the exotic sounds of Trinidad steel drums.

A friend in high school to me to McCabe's for the first time in 1973 to see this guy she was in love with - Jackson Browne. It was Sunday night and not that many people were there, so we sat in the first row. She couldn't take her eyes off Jackson, and I couldn't take my eyes off David Lindley's shirt, which was made out of a table cloth.
