Beautiful guitar outtake from "Far Leys", a song which can be found on the compilation Clothes of Sand, the other compilation Time Has Told Me, or the strange collection of songs Second Grace II, aka Tamworth-In-Arden II

@zuperduperboi Thanks 4 that info. Bert Jansch, yes, but it seems he did'nt like rock music @ all just folk. America was recording @ Island Studios @ the same? time and maybe he thought if they had so much sucess with Horse With No Name (and that whole album,too) that he should have as much success,too, but who knows. Thx.

This is the only one of him talking that I've come across, although there is an interesting recording of John Martyn being interviewed about Nick Drake around (I found it on? The Complete Home Recordings on Pirate Bay). John Martyn was a good friend of his as I gather, and his main inspiration along with Bert Jansch. I think in 1974 he was actually feeling better, which makes it confusing why he wished to end his life then. Then again, I guess his mind didn't work like ours.

It's surprising how normal and happy he sounds.I read about this recording in the biography. Are there any more recordings of him speaking? What albums did he have and what bands did he like? He sings similar to? Joni Mitchell in 'Black Eyed Dog'. What were his activities in 1974? What were his favourite TV shows?

I love Nick Drake's sense of humor and hearing him laugh at the end. I also love it when he laughs when he messes up in the recording of Day is Done in the Family? Tree album.

Well, I am? interested in all things 'Drake', I suppose! But the song was easy, I mean I just googled the lyrics and there they were, so I had the song title. Then one day I stumbled across the artist (because of it being a popular tune its been done by so many people) but on one of the Drake forums someone mentioned Frank Ifield, so two and two :) It was a lucky break really. You should try the forums if you haven't already.

Amazing isn't it, the impact this man has on people. We care enough to be fully? interested in what song was playing in the background, on his radio. How on earth did you find out what song it was by the way?

Thanks so much for uploading this! fantastic of you, really :) and for anyone interested, as they were on the other upload--- the song? playing in the background near the end of the monologue is "You Don't Have To Be a Baby To Cry" by Frank Ifield
