Title: Journeyman's Grace / Walk Awhile Post by: Phil Perry on February 08, 2021, 12:45:41 PM Just been re-listening to the under-rated Angel Delight LP again. It strikes me that Journeyman's Grace, in particular, should be regarded as a bona fida FC classic, but I wonder if the reason that it isn't is down to the tune's similarity to that for Walk Awhile. Perhaps somebody with more music know-how than me can advise if the tunes really are similar or if it is really just down to them running at a similarly jaunty pace.

The BBC version (with RT) is brilliant. Title: Re: Journeyman's Grace / Walk Awhile Post by: Jules Gray on February 08, 2021, 05:37:50 PM The BBC version (with RT) is brilliant. But annoyingly they've so far only released the edited version which is missing a verse. I have the full-length BBC version w/ Richard on a bootleg, but the sound quality is pretty terrible.

Incidentally, is it agreed that Walk Awhile must be the third most played number by the chaps over the years ? I can't readily think of any other contenders.

That said my vote is for Walk Awhile..... |
