Songs : Last Man Out & Whose Garden was This?
<< It was good to hear Ken Stott perform ‘Last Man Out’, a song about climate change. A bit 'tongue in cheek' as the song says, 'It’s closing the stable door, all too late'. Second from Ken was a Tom Paxton number 'Whose Garden was This?'. Thanks Ken. A thought-provoking set. >>
