When we explained what we our concept with the Wawona songs, he came back with LYRICS just in time to go along with the lyrics Russ and I came up with for Wawona Morning and Night. Perfect. He's very talented. Check him out with Russ' old band, The Bluerunners. Great band, great song writer, and a great guitarist.
lyrics
Je suis tout seul
Loin de ma coeur
Sans ma coeur
Je suis loin de ma maison
Ma seule petit
Parti a la guerre
Sans ma petit
Il n’ya pas de ma maison
I’m all alone
Far from my heart
And without my heart I’m far from
Home
My only child
Has gone to war
And without my child
There is no home

I love it when songwriters revisit their own catalog in different ways. Songs and their meanings evolve over time. Great effort here, and I'm glad I stumbled on it. veenstar

John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser.
Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this.
Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?).
With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP. yellowcakeuf6
