[DVBC] [Fwd: [sbbike] Sheldon loved]

[Ira Josephs]

Hi David
I am offering Richard Thompson's Rumor and Sigh album that has the song Vincent Black Lightning 1952 with the character Red Molly in it.
I'd also be happy to lend you my Red Molly CD's. Maybe you could join Don and I at a decent hour tomorrow for a ride and I could give them to you.
Ira

  Why sure Ira.  I promise not to return it to you with any burn marks on it (from listening to it by the fire, of course).  I may see if its still available but I'm not sure how up to date the available Richard Thompson catalogue is...or Red Molly...or whoever it is you're offering.
  The only time I ever saw Richard Thompson is at the Philadelphia Folk Festival when He was the lead guitar player with Fairport Convention after Sandy Denny died, before that band disolved.

      Larry,

      Do you know the tune by Richard Thompson that the author gave thanks to?  I'd love to add this to my repetoire.  Do you know who wrote these lyrics?

Said Molly to Sheldon that's a fine fixie bike
A girl could feel special on any such like.
Said Sheldon to Molly, well my hat's off to you
It's a brakeless Bianchi and the chainring's 52
And I've seen you at the corners and cafes it seems
Red hair and black spandex, my favorite color scheme
And she drafted on behind
And down to Box Hill they did ride

Said Sheldon to Molly, here's a ring for your right hand
But I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous man
I've fought with the cars since I was seventeen
I ran many a light on my fixie machine
Now I'm 61 years, I might make 62
And I don't mind dying, but for the love of you
And if fate should break my spin,
Then I'll give you my fixie to ride

Come down, come down, Red Molly, called Sergeant McRae
For they've taken in Sheldon at the end of his days
He called out for you on his long and final ride
Oh come down Red Molly to his dying bedside
When she came to the hospital, there wasn't much left
He was running out of road, he was running out of breath
But he smiled to see her cry
And said I'll give you my fixie to ride

Says Shel, in my opinion, there's nothing in this world
Beats a fixed-gear Bianchi and a red headed girl
Now Shimano LX or XT won't do
They don't have a soul like a Phil Wood tightly trued
He reached for her hand, gave her his Allen keys
He said I've got no further use for these
I see angels on Brooks's in spandex and chrome
Swooping down from heaven to carry me home
And he gave her one last kiss and died
And he gave her his fixie to ride

(With thanks to Richard Thompson)
