Richard Thompson on Beethoven, Rogers & Hart, and Beyonce

 John Hurd of 3Songs Bonn also conducted an interview with the English folk legend Richard Thompson before his first concert in The Harmonie in this beautiful city of Bonn.

AND, as a special added extra here is a link to John Hurd's You Tube channel and a video of Richard Thompson playing "1952 Vincent Black Lightning". It's excellent! 

I remember we used to have a videographer in the form of Janero del Rosario at the Bonn Folk Club when we were at Haus Mühlestumpe in Graurheindorf years ago.  Janero was working at the United Nations in Bonn, but unfortunately for us, was transferred to the UN in Vienna. While the performers at FCB are not all as good guitarists as Richard Thompson is, from the quality of the filming, you would be a welcome shoe-in for the job, John!
