At the risk of him thinking me a sentimental fool, when Dick played the Walthamstow folk club last year I asked him to play this for MY "Peggy dear" who couldn't attend with me. He kindly obliged and I will never forget it.

I saw this when it aired in 1983, I video taped it and have watched it dozens of times over the years. Dick goes on to explain the song in his view is a work of art, working on different levels. It's stayed with me for 30 years; from a young boy to a middle aged man, and never lost an ounce of the weight it carries. It's a superb combination of sublime writing, masterful guitar and understated vocals. This one performance opened up a whole world of Burns song and verse to me, thanks Dick.

Dare I add a thought. So many said already and well. Before this performance, don't we all stand humbled. I see Dick, standing alone, in a field of heather up high in a valley with the ocean viewing at its ending. Skies alive. Singing to life. His perfect voice and brilliant phrasing and pacing; each note all calling all to assemble - listen to the poet and his Singer. Then, off with you to your daily ways.

I met a few of my Scots music heroes from The Easy Club, and other bands. I had hoped to find out where Dick was playing locally but was told by his manager, who was there at The Tron, Dick was on tour in the US. Damn, he was scheduled to play in Portland Oregon the night of my return flight. 4:48
