155R Richard Thompson

A show highlighting just some of the talents of Richard Thompson, guitarist singer and songwriter of unnervingly great skill and seemingly no specific desire for fame.  We covered a bit of his days with Fairport Convention, some of his work with Linda Peters/Thompson, some acoustic and some electric solo guitar work.   Up to 19 connections, not bad for the weekend of Mysterium.

As promised, here’s the link to the schedule for the 2025 MOULa Summerfest as a pdf.  Note that each event has a link, as either video stream or music stream, which will take you to the relevant stream on the day.

Also as promised the link to the YouTube video of Richard Thompson performing 1952 Vincent Black Lightning live, on a stage shared with Suzanne Vega and Loudon Wainwright, who both listen appreciatively to Richard’s searing performance.
