October Song by The Incredible String Band circles around my mind for the first few days of October every year. Here’s a phone recording from late last night with JF on guitar. My voice was a little tired from practicing for the Joni tour all afternoon, but it was nice singing something completely different for a minute. (Assuming you’re reading this parents, this one’s for you.)
The Incredible String Band’s ‘October Song’ by Lail Arad & JF Robitaille:
Meanwhile The Songs Of Joni Mitchell kicks off next Sunday morning 12th October with a live session for Cerys Matthews on BBC Radio 6 Music! You can tune in at 11am UK time or listen back at your leisure: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002kg0y
And from there the tour begins! Check the poster for cities & dates, book your tickets, tell your friends, we’ll be selling our EP at the merch desk too…
Happy October!

We used to play and listen to this song more than a decade before you were born! Isn’t it amazing how something that starts out avant guard becomes vintage with time.

Lovely voice and guitar for an October morning. Thanks
