Earls Court Breakdown

Hi Weenies,

8th tune up - this is a composition by Alan Tunbridge from the early 1960's which was played by Ralph McTell during his time in Cornwall before he 'made it big' (by the way, has anybody checked out Ralph's roots CDs "Stealin' Back", "Black Skies and Blue Heroes" and "National Treasure" ?? They show Ralph off as being a decent blues and ragtimer.).

This tune is my own arrangement of the song taken from a bootleg tape of a Ralph session in a pub in Crewe, Cheshire in the late 1960's.  It represents the way Ian Jesse and myself played it in the early 1980s and was recorded at that time.  Me on a Dinsdale 6-string and Ian Jesse on vocals and clarinet.  Hope you enjoy it.

Cheers, take care, and keep on pluckin'.

Steve J. McWilliam
