Arghh! I just typed a decent sized post and the damn thing disappeared before I sent it. At least I think it didn't send. Sorry if this is a resend. It'll probably be a bit shorter than the original thing, as I'm running out of time now (going out to posh restaurant tonight with my partner, for our five year anniversary meal!!!)
Anyway... There I was sitting in the lounge, muddling through my semi-unemployment by marking maths homeworks (very tedious) and watching daytime TV. Then the usual even calm of the Richard and Judy Show was interrupted by the ever annoying Marti Pellow. And what's worse they announced he'd be singing at the end of the show. I made a mental note to switch channels over to the Weakest Link before he launched into one of those dreadful ballads that he does. Then I remembered that he once covered Joni's River, and considering that it is coming on Christmas and all, I thought I should at least check, and eerily enough, that's what he chose to perform. Judy, gawd bless her, introduced it as 'a lovely Christmas song' - kinda missing the point of the song. They also had some conversation about great songwriters, but I missed most of that fumbling for a video. Yes Bob, that does mean I have it on tape. And as I'm going to see my parents next week for the holidays, and they have the ability to do such things, I'll transfer it to CD. So if you're interested in adding it to your covers collection, just give me a shout. I know you have another version by him, but I don't know how they compare, as I'm not that far through the collection yet.
