It's pretty easy. Or you could use this to say something, I don't bite unless asked to.

Sandy Denny & Thea Gilmore — Glistening Bay.

While Sandy Denny never recorded these, the words are her’s and this collaboration of ten songs is damn pretty as well as very affecting. The music written by Thea Gilmore feels true to them both. There are musical hues from both Fairport Convention and Sandy’s solo works but at the same time the melodies unmistakably are those of Thea’s. You can hear it on the guitars — sometimes more, sometimes less. But it’s there.

In late 2010 Thea Gilmore was commissioned by Sandy [Denny]’s estate, in conjunction with Island Records, to write melodies for unfinished manuscripts, lyrics without music, and works in progress and so to finally bring some of Sandy’s last works to the world.
