“Mississippi Queen” is the go-to for most people, but “Nantucket Sleighride” is still one of my all-time favorite songs. i don’t know what it is about it, but i’ve always loved it.

Here was a man who had spent time with Lennon and Bowie, who was once friends with Sonia Orwell and used to walk round Paris with Samuel Beckett. And yet he made everyone feel special. Every connection mattered.

I saw him on TV once as Mark Twain. I’ll always remember the line: “Trust everyone, but cut the cards.”

They just don’t make 'em like him any more.

Addendum: I’m watching the “Lincoln” TV mini-series; it was broadcast over a period of three years (programming was so weird, still is) - 1974, '75, and 76. It’s REALLY good so far.
(but I like Fredric March’s MT better, sowry)
