"Blue Sky"

"Blue Sky"
This is part of the roof of Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire.

For 'Sight and Sound', "Blue Sky" by Joan Baez came to mind :-)

"Blue Sky" was written by Richard (Dickey) Betts of The Allman Brothers. I was saddened to read that just recently that Dickey suffered a freak accident that caused bleeding on his brain. The good news is that following brain surgery Dickey is making a recovery and it is hoped he will be well enough to celebrate his 75th birthday on December 12th. I wish him well and "A Very Happy 75th Birthday".

"Blue Sky" features on Joan's 1975 album "Diamonds & Rust".

I mustn't leave out the original version by The Allman Brothers from their 1972 album "Eat A Peach". Tragically, Duane Allman died in a motorcycle crash before the album was released.

I remember visiting with an old girlfriend about 15 years ago but I didn't see these. I also thought that my NT membership was being wasted as this was the only historic house we visited in over a year. I cancelled my membership when I realised this was the only NT property for miles around and that the area where we lived didn't have much to offer.
Shortly after that I moved to Cornwall and wished that I had kept it up!
Fine roof shot!
I have to ask, Roger. You have two songs posted here. Yet when I tried to post two songs ....

Ooooh, so pretty against that blue sky!

This is such a good song. I've always loved it by the Allman Brothers but haven't heard the Joan Biaz version until now (I count on you for this, Roger. :) That was really nice! A splendid combo!

I wish Dickey Betts a speedy recovery. I always liked him.
