    I am 66 and just discovered June Tabor. Spent my teenage years with Maddy Prior and Sandy Denny, Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan, Country Joe McDonald, Lindisfarne, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, not to mention the Doors, Steppenwolf etc etc but I guess I was omni-directional rather than deep...and then there were too many life distractions. Still, better late than never....just WOW.

    from the first time I heard June, I was stunned by her extraordinary tone and the feeling she puts in. I had *kind of* overlooked her technique because technique alone does not make music. But Holy Hell, the 2nd song (at 5.00) is absolutely Incredible.

    Bridget O'Malley, you've left my heart shaken
    With a hopeless desolation, I'll have you to know
    It's the wonders of adoration your quiet face has taken
    And your beauty will haunt me, wherever I go.
    The white moon above the pale sands, the pale stars above the thorn tree
    Are cold beside my darling, but no purer than she
    I gaze upon the cold moon til the stars drown in the warm sea
    And the bright eyes of my darling are never on me.
    My Sunday it is weary, my Sunday it is grey now
    My heart is a cold thing, my heart is a stone
    All joy is dead within me, my life has gone away now
    Another has taken my love for his own.
    The day it is approaching when we were to be married
    But it's rather I would die than live only to grieve
    Oh, meet me my darling ere the sun sets o'er the barley
    And I'll meet you there, on the road to Drumslieve.

I hadn't thought about that program since then. It was just the other day that I realized I could find that song and many more on You Tube.
