Many will say the Fairports came into their own when Sandy joined the group and to an extent I agree the first time I heard "A Sailors Life" completely dissolved my universe and I mark that as the beginning of my love affair with acid folk but upon reflection and especially after hearing "Trader Horne" Judy Dyble's next project I can also say this that its a crying shame they didn't keep Judy for a few more albums She is obviously one of the most cosmic women who has ever lived, I urge you to listen to this then get Morning way, the Trader Horne album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nm2s5VodnAE
and I'm sure you will agree. So in conclusion Heres to Judy Dyble! I love you xxx
