Around this time of year in 1973-yes 35 years ago. I was in college and with an Irish friend of mine, sang Irish folk songs at local folk clubs At one gig at the college we got to be the support act for Linda Peters and Richard Thompson, who were touring after leaving Fairport Convention. We got to talk with them before the show and they were very nice to us. The reason I mention this is because I was listening to one of their albums today at work, "Pour down like silver".
So I have started Slovenian lessons, in preparation for my going there to live next year. a friend from their is sending me lesson by e mail, plus I have installed some language software on my computer.
