@RobertElms Formulaic Dylan formulaic Hendrix. Without a doubt Hendrix interprets the lyrics with more emotion than Dylan.
But is the Hendrix cover to embellished with guitar show boating?
This is difficult but for passion and power I'm edging towards Jimi.

@CrowleyOnAir@BBCRadioLondon Of course you couldn't leave out Desperado by the Eagles or All the wild horses by Bob Dylan but my favourite would be Five Easy Pieces by Green on Red..
Another great show Mr GC.
I wanted to be a footballer, a musician or a long distance coach driver when I was young. Dream on
@CrowleyOnAir@BBCRadioLondon Hello GC. Two songs came to mind immediately. The Ballad of Crafty Jack by Lonestar ((not the country band) and I Just want to be a Cowboy by the band Wally.
Query no.2 is from Tony in Hither Green-
Plumage House, on the corner of Shaftesbury Street and Shepherdess Walk, still has a “Feather Merchant” sign in the window despite appearing long closed.
When did it last trade? Who were its customers?
Give me a call on 0800 731 2000
@RobertElms This building has the look of a pub to me particularly the double corner door at the corner. Could it be a non public house business bought the building and modified it to meet their business needs?
"For there's nothing as powerful or as great
As when a husband & wife, united by oneness of mind in their thinking,
Keep their home together—a great bane to their enemies,
A blessing to their friends, & their renown is on everyone's lips.”
Odysseus' great praise of marriage.
Tomorrow night at 7:30pm, the Sci-Fi Auction closes for good.
This auction exists because cancer affects real families — and every bid helps support them. There are lots starting from just a few pounds.
If you’ve been on the fence, tonight's the night.

Whitsuntide, the days after Pentecost, was for centuries *the* time of the year for holiday-making and summer fun - fairs, plays, games, and parades. It's the reason we have a Bank Holiday in late May, which this year falls nicely on Whit Monday itself. https://t.co/x0bWsxlw3j
@RobertElms This is a very interesting link to your mention of beating the bounds. I can imagine how riotous it might have been in old St Barts and Smithfield
This week is Rogationtide - an ancient season of prayer and processions to ask for blessings on the land and the fruits of the earth. It's traditionally the time for the chaotic, riotous but important custom of 'beating the bounds'. https://t.co/K6idtfwYmY
Today is the feast of St Guthlac, demon-haunted hermit of Crowland in Lincolnshire, who died in 714. This beautiful extract from an Anglo-Saxon poem about Guthlac tells how, after a long season of mental struggle, he found peace in wild birds and the coming of spring.
Morning I am delighted to announce my involvement & Support of Carers card UK. For years I have reminded people that its not just the "patient" who suffers but also the carers who spend time, worry and finances trying to give the patient/sufferer a better quality of life. So this is a no brainer for me. It gives savings, support & recognition with exclusive discounts, free carer tickets & wellbeing support. Interested? https://t.co/gJrbyRigpr
