A cover of John Renbourn's arrangement of Come O My Love. The original American trad song was written in 1850 and deals with a lynching of an African American for talking to a Caucasian girl in much the same vane as "Strange Fruit" (put in modern terms they would have tasered him, shot him in the back and then planted the taser on him). This cover is basically the same as John's recorded version but I've added a little solo section before the last verse.

Winter Is Gone

This sketch started out by me wanting to "get inside" George Martin's string arranging style. One forgets what a simple beautiful song it is despite it being played to death. I have added a mid section in the style, I hope, of Mr. Martin. Can't really improve on the original so please excuse my indulgence!
