Another very old song
Probably written with my cousin Jamie in mind, my relationship with him, nearest to a younger brother
An inspiring person with a really good soul x
lyrics
Cecil
Hitchin over the country, passing’s bye old friend
Braving up to all kinds of weather, & we got money to spare
But me & my friend Cecil, we’re two of a kind
Roaming over these roads forever like
Ghosts of an unchanged time
An unchanged time, a time that’s mine
And I decided, just where we’re going to, going to!
People call us Gipsy, others settle for thieves
But we go where the music takes us, it must be some kinda disease
But me & my friend Cecil, we’re two of a kind
We roam over these roads forever like
Ghosts of an unchanged time
An unchanged time, a time that’s mine
And I decided, just where we’re going to, going to!

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
Guillemot Days whisks us to a glistening shoreline, awash with 10 sublime songs full of serene hope. Compelling right from the buoyant opener Edge Of The World and Butterfly overflows with soaring, twangy sunshine. For a fave, so close with the lush vocals, melodic layers of Flowers Of Hope versus Peace And Plenty: an intriguing, modern parlour song both eerie and exquisite, voices and clarinet blending into something quite special. This album is a musical lighthouse on a dark day. Unmissable. anitajoyce
