Paris in the rain
Thank you for bringing me Paris in the rain,
Holding me close to you never any shame
Playing old guitars and a sweet mandolin
Sharing hot chocolate flavoured with sin
Walking through the streets feel our troubles wash away
Moving as lovers as night turns into day
Back to the pleasure of a sweet love’s embrace
Sanctuary, warmth and a welcoming smile upon your face
The lanes of Montmartre weaving into one
Huddled artists gather, hoping for the sun
Graffiti-strewn bridges reveal the art of the day
Raymond in his time warp, survival at play

Well gosh, Boo. That really is an album!
The first time through was wonder and delight. Now it’s just a matter of installing it into my DNA. And so repeat play is engaged. You’ve done it again! warren wigutow

I love the deceptive simplicity of so many of Boo's songs. A master craftsman at songwriting. I bought the album even though I already have most the songs...because he deserves to be recognised. And he is funny. helenflunder

There's a similarity in song writing between Richard Thompson and Hugh Cornwell which maybe isn't surprising as they went to the same school at the same time, although Thompson is older.
Due to Thompson's association with John French of Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I searched for his work on the Bandcamp app. French, Thompson and Cornwell all have albums on the app which I'm very pleased about. Only Thompson has released contemporary albums, much to his credit. yellowcakeuf6
