Not Quite Proustian

[callmemadam]

I had a weird experience on Saturday as I was driving to the market. I had SOTS on the radio and suddenly found that I knew every word of a song I swear I haven't heard or given a thought to since the sixties. It was If I Had A Ribbon Bow, the first single by Fairport Convention and I sang along merrily. It took me back in an extraordinary way, yet I can't remember why. Here it is; it takes a while to get going.

Watch on YouTube

The singer is Judy Dyble, not Sandy Denny.

Still bugging me why I know that song so well. Now Si Tu Dois Partir is another matter. The ribbon song is whimsical for my taste now but I must have liked it once.
