The idea is to fill Facebook with music, breaking the monotony of selfies and sensationalism. Here are the rules. If you like this post you will be assigned a letter which coincides with a musician, band or artist that you will post on your timeline with this text. Jack tried to stump me with the letter J but Ill answer that with: Bert Janschs Moonshine from the album of the same name...Scottish folk musician and founding member of the band Pentangle, Jansch was probably the best guitarist on the Isles in his time, followed by one time partner John Renborn...His influence was wide and deep...Jimmy Page said At one point, I was absolutely obsessed with Bert Jansch. Al Stewart, Paul Simon, Johnny Marr, Elton John, Ian Anderson, Bernie Taupin, Bernard Butler, Jimmy Page, Nick Drake, Graham Coxon, Donovan, Neil Young, Fleet Foxes, Devendra Banhart, Neil Halstead, and Roy Harper all were equally devoted.... Jansch received two Lifetime Achievement Awards at the BBC Folk Awards... I bought his 1973 MOONSHINE album when it was released and it mustve been on my turntable for a month...while his other albums are equally as intricate and haunting, the folk flavor of the Pentangle years make this one my favorite.... Moonshine Hearken to the sweet leaves That dance so merrily I wish the wind would do the same for me. But rooted here like a withered tree am I, And I watch both day and night pass by. It was a cruel and wicked master, Stole my freedom and charged me To fight for him, win him victory. And now here am I in a damp and dreary cell, And all I know of time is the church bell. Moonshine soft and clear, In a death-black endless sky, Cartwheelin bright stars twinklin down. From the shadows calls the night owl, Hes echoing my loneliness. Come the stag down from the mountain, Come the owl from where he sleeps, Come the eagle from his high, high nest, To where the salmon, they swim and they sleep, Come fast and hope to set me free. I dream of waters flowing, Sweet air to softly breathe, Of meadowland where the wagtail bobs and weaves, Of sunny days where children dance and play, And sweet music to drive my grief away youtube/watch?v=j_KQiz1-0qk
