Best Tuning App Ever
MaddProfessor"
I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

Verse 1
Good evening.
We've got something
a little bit different tonight
for you.
We're going to tell you
the story.
Fairport
Convention, the story
so far.
You heard last night
how a bunch of middle
-class, well -behaved,
just -out -of -school kids
rose from
playing church
halls
an
d bowling
to become
one of the most
original
and
much -loved bands
in Britain.
Original because
they were
alone
in the so -called under
ground music
scene of
67,
68,
in performing short,
intelligent,
melodic
singer -songwriter
numbers,
usu
ally from America,
an
d
then proceeded
to invent
British folk rock
by
wedding traditional
songs
an
d instrumental
tun
es
to a
rock treatment.
Much
loved,
as
evidenced
by the tremendous
support
that the
band received
when it
experienced
the dreadful road
crash in
1969,
which
robbed it of its
drummer
,
Martin Lamble.
John Peel,
no less,
writing at that
time
said,
this group
has brought me more
joy
during the
past two years
than any
other I can think of.
The things
they have
done for Radio
One
have brightened
weeks,
not
hours.
It is true,
therefore,
that any review
I write
will be coloured with
love.
Suffice
to say that the
record,
Unhalf Bricking,
made
me feel
warm and comfortable
and part of them.
It is
an
LP
that you will want to
hear daily
for a very long
time.
Fairport Convention,
we
love you very
much.
Judy, Simon,
Richard,
Tiger, DM,
and Swab,
you heard last night,
recreating
something of those
special 60s
days.
Ian wasn't
present,
but I'm
sure would have liked to
have been,
had
non -musical
considerations not
intervened.
As
for Martin,
you were
cheated of
the opportunity to hear
his playing.
We
have the
records,
the pictures,
the
memories.
I've no doubt
that he would have developed
into an
even more sensitive
and outstand
ing drummer
had
he lived on.
Patrick Humphries
says in his newly
reprinted updated
Meet
on the Ledge book,
when Fairport began
their career
the Beatles
had barely
released Sgt.
Pepper,
let alone anthology.
Jimmy
Page was
still in the Yardbirds.
Jimi Hendrix
was still on the
planet.
And Elvis,
Elvis
had not yet left
the
building.
Well,
the first part
of our
story is over.
Ian Matthews
left and formed
Matthews Southern
Comfort,
who of
course had a number
one single with
Woodstock
.
Sandy
left
to form
her own group,
Fathering Gay,
and
I left to
delve into
folk
rock even deeper,
in forming
Steel Eye Span.
CHEERING
Our tale
tonight
begins in 1970
with
a Birmingham
buddy of Swarbs
joining on the
bass,
Dave Pegg.
CHEERING
So
let's make
a start,
as we
need to fit 27
years
of music
into the
next 4 hours.
Fairport Convention,
the full house
line -up.
On
bass,
he's a groundbreaking
musician.
He takes my
breath away.
He started
the
fashion for
playing tunes,
you know,
jigs and reels
on the bass.
He started
the fashion
among
folk -rock bass
players for
baldness.
Every
one
followed him,
including me.
Without
him,
and especially his
wife Christine,
none of us
would be here today.
This field
would
simply
be a convenient
toilet for
graz
ing farm
animals.
Oh!
Correction!
Apart
from being a
convenient toilet
for grazing
farm animals,
this
field would be
empty.
Dave Pegg!
On
drums,
this man
has played
with the best
many, many times.
You want to know
if Sir
Paul McCartney
counts his
royalties
in his re
cording studio
breaks?
Ask
DM.
You want to
know if Chris
Greer
still supports
Middlesborough
even though they
were
releg
ated,
ask DM.
You
want to know if Mary
Chapin
Car
penter
is any good at putting up wooden shelves?
Think about it,
ask DM.
From the
top of his
double paradiddles
to the bottom of his boom
-chuck
a -chucks,
he is the king.
Let
me hear you welcome him,
Dave Mattox
on the drums.
On
rhythm guitar,
he may be the
grizzled old grey
-bearded
elder statesman
of Fairport
in 1997,
but to
me
he's still the
cheeky little kid
with an acoustic
12 -string
tech
nique
to
leave his contemporaries
dumbstruck.
The baby of the
group
with
the oldest head,
the
broadest shoulders,
the widest vocabulary,
the
best
potential,
one
day he's gonna start
writing songs
and
then watch out
you singer -songwriters,
watch out.
Simon Nichol.
On
lead
guitar.
Everyone
has beat me
to
the book of superlatives.
If you
don't know that he's the
best songwriter,
the best
guitarist
and nearly
the best leg
great bowler
on the planet.
Where have
you been sleeping?
Richard Thompson!
On Fiddle,
the
maestro
when he joined
Fairport
all those years
ago,
it
was an honour to
have him in the group,
the most
influential fiddler
bar
none in this
country ever,
let
him know he's welcome,
Dave Swarbrick!
Fairport
Convention
1970,
the Full House line
-up.
Thank you very much indeed.
Welcome to Cropperdink.
We're
hoping this will be
our best
ever year,
and so far
it has been.
So
thanks all for
coming.
This is a song
which
Richard
and
Swarbrick wrote in
1970
before
they wised up
and left the band.
I'm afraid it was a
case of...
A
case of who'd have thought
it at the time,
but it
was musical differences.
They were
musical, we
were different.
That joke
courtesy
of the Bushbury Mountain
Daredevils.
Thanks guys.
So do
I.
And this
is a song called Walk
Awhile.
