Twelfth Night (Thursday 5th January 2017)

Calne did a fine job for a small town with its Christmas lights so I took a final look at them with my camera before they were taken down on Twelfth Night. It was 1710 hr so not wholly dark and I used different levels of exposure compensation, with this being the strongest, but I chose this one for overall effect, despite the blurring of the lights themselves caused by their brightness.

Lozarhythm of the Day:
Fairport Convention - Eastern Rain (recorded April-October 1968, Chelsea)
What We Did On Our Holidays remains one of my favourite sixties albums, and one of my favourite Fairports albums, and I played a new CD copy of it on this day. It was produced by Joe Boyd who had introduced them to the songwriting of Joni Mitchell before she had released anything herself on their first album, with Judy Dyble. By the second, Sandy Denny had replaced her, bringing her own songs Fotheringay and Who Knows Where The Time Goes to the band. Fotheringay is on this album, but this is her version of a Joni Mitchell song that she herself has never released.
