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....
Wonderful track - moves me each time I hear it.We know not where the time goes - but go it does.God bless us all.

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

I really love this video and song-still so meaningful today. She is pretty here and sings so lovely.This is nicely done especially for your first attempt to put up videos prl1973.A great song to have up-for everyone to -enjoy- most definitly.
