Who Knows Where the Time Goes Sandy Denny Fairport DEMO
Across the purple sky all the birds are leavingSandy Denny's home demo recording as she writes this amazing song, later recorded with Fairport Convention and covered by many artists including Eva Cassidy, Nina Simone, Nanci Griffith.
I've put together this compilation of photos and sleeve art from Sandy Denny's all too brief career, with Fairport Convention and beyond, to mark what would have been her 60th birthday 06/Jan/2007 and try to celebrate her amazing talent.
The soundtrack is Sandy's home demo recording of her own song 'Who Knows Where The Time Goes' circa 1967, from the hard-to-find demos compilation CD 'Borrowed Thyme' and I've tried to pick pictures and transitions to suit it.
It's my first attempt to make or upload one of these, hope it works OK....
I cant believe there have been over 100,000 viewings in the 2 years since I posted this! Thanks for the kind comments, and keep on spreading the word of Sandy's amazing talent. Pete

this is way beyond fantastic. 30 years down the road and there are still a lot of people that miss her. such a tatented and bright person. and i really think this version of the song is better than the album version. god, i've gotten drunk and fallen down the stairs more than once. how could we lose someone like her? thanks for posting this,

Sandy's 4 years older than me. I knew an illustrator in the 70's before she died who knew her and he said she tried to throw herself out of a car they were in when on the motorway - because she was so unhappy she couldn't be successful with her music. She was my star all through college as a teenager and is still my favourite. Bless and thanks Sandy x

She was a gem. It is so nice to know there are others out there that have such a deep affection for this woman and her songwriting like I do. It makes feel like it wasn't all just a dream:)...amazing...i also just found out Joni mitchell just turned 65 and is strong as vcan be. "Come all ye rollin minsitrels!":)
