“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

He tends to get some pretty humorous comments on his videos. I enjoy them, not only for his ability as a musician, but some of his cheeky behaviors and of course the comments.

I listened to a lot of the songs posted in this thread, and enjoyed it. Something in the listening reminded me of Sandy Denny. There are several that I could post, and I spent the last hour listening to her in Fairport Convention, Fotheringay, and as a solo performer.
I settled on this one because I’m also a fan of Richard Thompson, and you can hear his guitar throughout this beautiful song…or maybe it was “Who Knows Where the Time Goes” that featured his guitar prominently. Like I said, I listened to a lot of Sandy Denny.
This is Richard Thompson performing with his son, Teddy. Another beautiful, and dare I say, relaxing song.
