On Easter Sunday, my schedule allowed me to catch of the Sirius XM's Folk show on The Bridge (6-10 am EST),. Mary Sue Twohy played an amazing cut from John Renbourn's "Lost Sessions", "To Glastonbury" stunned me with its beauty.
The album came from studio work post-Pentangle in the early 1970s, and collected dust for two decades. Renbourn was living then in the West Country, which is where I would enjoy living in the UK. My plan in 1979 was to go to Glastonbury for the Arthurian sites while I was in Exeter, but on the August bank holiday, trains were on a holiday schedule. Of course the music festival takes place there now.
Sadly, I could not find neither the individual song nor the lyrics, but here is a link to the entire album. "To Glastonbury" starts around 21:39.
