@discogs Bought this @midnightoilband in March 1988, then bought the vinyl a month later! Still buy more vinyl than CD - indeed far too many of each! Always has been superior sound, no matter whether digitally recorded or not (& yes I have excellent hifi equipment, so it's not about that)

The final sea shanty of the trilogy 🎶⚓️(an adaptation of #Wellerman and #DrunkenSailor) inspired by @SuellaBraverman's recent speech on migration.

We stand and sing in solidarity with a different vision from #Braverman's of what our country stands for & who it should stand by🧡

@howfartohitchin @GrumpyOldRick Not right away!

[John Ferguson @johnferg02]

@thejazzestate 1973 Between Nothingness & Eternity - Mahavishnu Orchestra - then I went back to their two studio albums, swiftly followed by In A Silent Way to find out who this @milesdavis chap was that #JohnMcLaughlin had played with?! It all snowballed from there - 50 years no looking back!

[John Ferguson @johnferg02]

@jonimitchell OK make that '...in the last 150 years...', as much of Stravinsky's great body of work was slightly over 100 years ago!!

[John Ferguson @johnferg02]

@jonimitchell Not many musicians in the last 100 years warrant the term 'genius'. I'd argue only Stravinsky, Miles, possibly Lennon & definitely Joni do! (And before anyone 'corrects' me, yes I'd argue that Dylan, Hendrix, Prince and even Parker or Coltrane don't!)
