This is a strange affair


This is a strange affair.
One of many many fine songs by this man and some I have played for a long time. You can look him up for yourself, not look back and gain much. His song 'This is a strange affair' is, for me, one of the most moving of all songs. You can see Linda his wife singing it on the Tube but when I heard June Tabor singing it with Martin's (Simpson) guitar (the best of the best of all musicians for me) it was one of those times you have to try it. I can play the guitar part just well enough to get by but my wife can sing it with lovely feeling and we are moved. Martin accompanies with such skill so hear June and Martin here - if you or someone have time past and passing in your life you will hear the song.
