We're so fortunate to have had his artistry and his musical soul for so many years. So much brilliance.

[@NipItInTheBud100]

That’s what I love about poetry set to music! It just hits you differently! What a beautiful lyric!

[@nancywarren7331]

Wonderful interview. Such awesome words and music.❤

[@StarHarvestOfficial]

What a beautiful lyric ❤

[@mellow5123]

Howard, these clips are way too short, ok? You can afford to post entire interviews, esp. ones as good as this.

[@darrint3573]

That sounds eerily similar to Classical Gas By Mason Williams.

[@darrint3573]

@nucumber4395 Mason Williams is American, not British.

[@random22026]

Good ear--very similar

[@thegreatgroucho]

Exactly, Davy Graham, Anji

[@tenthousanddaysofgratitude]

Similar, yes. But there’s only so many chords and chord progressions. 🤷‍♀️

[@galinabarannikova5466]

Гений вне времени! Браво, маэстро!!!

[@galinabarannikova5466]

Восхищаюсь, преклоняюсь, люблю!!!

[@Gunbu]

"Riley! Can You Hear Me?!" "...Uhhhh, Huh?"

[@america1stnewswire]

..."of course I lost my parents too"

[@daveyt4802]

Be wary of procedures...They can go wrong...😒

[@michaelregan2419]

Burt Jansch.

[@rhymeocerous]

Actually Davey Graham originally, but Bert Jansch covered it

[@michaelregan2419]

Indeed thank you (and for the reminder re E)@@rhymeocerous

[@PS-fo5jj]

I enjoyed the album, but I can’t get Classical Gas out of my mind any time I hear the lick.

[@shaneharrington3655]

Surprised he heard the question.

[@TanteTiffy1979]

He only lost his hearing on left side

[@publicmail2]

Huh?

[@tdg223]

If he lost his hearing then how can he hear

[@marianovak1717]

only one ear's suffered the loss

[@ExtremeBeatlesArchive]

Huh??? What's that you say??

[@tdg223]

@@marianovak1717 what I cant hear you?

[@boxofmoles4057]

This exemplifies pandering. A songwriter, with a long career, but one foot in the grave, subtly incorporates themes of faith in an attempt to gain attention and boost album sales. It's rather disheartening.
