The utterly\nwonderful \"Liege and Lief\" - the prototype British folk rock album - came\nout in 1969, but they're still going strong to this day. (I was recently\ngiven their 35th anniversary 4-CD boxed set of live tracks and rarities for\nmy birthday!) Music is a mixture of rock and traditional folk music. Some\nmembers have also been members of Jethro Tull. Stunning musicianship, and\nCropredy, the biggest and best annual folk-rock festival in Europe.\n\nTripping on his beard as he goes, Nigel stomps back out to the garden, where\nhe is teaching his younger daughter to play \"Johny B. Goode\" on the penny\nwhistle, while he accompanies her on the mandolin.\n\nMusic for hippies, indeed!\n\nNigel (who still has not found satisfactory photographs either of his black\ncat or of himself wearing a tie - sorry, Blattid)"
