Full Moon with Jerry D

[fstix (Michael)]

I'm presently helping Jerry Donahue uncover a few old tracks he plays on.  One has me stumped though - a version of 'Full Moon'.  He says:

"This might be a stretch but, with so many lost/rare versions of our favourites coming to light from time to time, do you happen to know
if there's a version of Full Moon (from the Rendezvous sessions) with the original guitar solo that I played) knocking around somewhere?

Sandy and Trev had a subsequent opportunity to feature Acker Bilk on the album, and asked me if, since I already played the most solo
bits of anyone on the sessions, would I mind if they replaced the one I'd done on Full Moon with his clarinet.  It may or may not even still
exist on the master reels but might have made it into circulation on an early rough mix for reference purposes."

I just checked and it's not the version on the first Attic Tracks tape either.

Anyone know of this version?  Might it even be on this next Sandy box...?

Andrew Batt (he's on the SAndy list) will be the person to ask.

I just hope JD doesn't do more overdubbing on this, but just lets it see the light of day.....

btw - JD and Doug Morter have a tour upcoming later in the year.

I second that.

Thanks Chris, I'll ask on the Sandy list generally and I'm sure he'll reply there.  Don't know why I didn't think of asking there myself!

I'm also trying to find an agent to bring the Gathering to Australia for Jerry - or failing that, the duo with Doug M.  I have to try my best; he's offered the support to the band I manage, Spiral Dance www.spiraldance.com.au  

Over to the Sandy Denny list I go.....

Andrew did in fact reply personally just now.  I won't reprint the whole correspondence, but he says:

The session reel of Full Moon still exists in the Island vault and is live at Basing street with Full Moon (2 takes) Sad Refrains (3 takes) and I'm a Dreamer (3 takes) all cut live in a single day. Its this original version of Full Moon that Jerry did the solo on and so far it hasnt come out, but I hope to release it on the boxset.

No mention of overdubbing or otherwise!

Hopefully, Island won't let him anywhere near it....

[Jules Gray]

Hopefully, Island won't let him anywhere near it....

....in the nicest possible way of course.

Oh, absolutely!
