Here's an old Scot recipe for sea cucmbers, chips and eggs and black pudding: 1.Cut the sea cuc-mbers at the stomach, and gut.
Leave whole. Hard-boil the pigeon eggs, let cool
and shell. Halve the cabbage hearts lengthwise and
chop into 2 1/2 inch (7cm) sections.
2.Rub the sea cuc-mbers with 1 tsp. of the salt.
Plunge into boiling water for 2 minutes, remove
and drain. Blanch the cabbage hearts briefly in the
salted boiling water, remove, drain and set aside.
3.Put the sea cuc-mbers in a wok and add the soy
sauce, the remaining 1 tsp. salt, the rice wine,
sugar, scallions, ginger, chicken stock, and
MSG(optional). Bring to a boil and simmer for 2
minutes. Add the cornstarch-water mixture and
cook, stirring, until thickened. Arrange the sea
cuc-mbers and cabbage hearts alternately in a circle
on a plate, and sprinkle with the melted chicken fat.
4.Heat the oil in a wok until the oil surface ripples.
Add the eggs and deep-fry until golden. Arrange
the eggs around the sea cuc-mbers and serve.

yes, chewing wax: String do not unmake a folk album, at least not in the standards of Drake's day: look at Phil Ochs, Roy Harper, Leonard Cohen, et al .... all had the taint of strings on their albums in that era. The great thing about Nicks string sections is that some of them were written and arranged by a school chum of his, a man all of 24 years old and not "qualified" in the professional sense to do a string arrangement. The proof is in the pudding, though.

A cough among friends.... that emotion you describe is what people apparantly felt about him all the time. His was a profoundly sad soul.

There are songs in release that Nick actually recorded in his living room....he would spend hours working out tunings and chords, as well as unique rhythms against his vocals. Trying to play along to Nick Drake is not as easy as it might sound -- just a bloke with an acoustic guitar you say? Trying it sometime. It's really great that he is appreciated even this long after he doesn't care. His "neighborhood" church holds a tribute to him once a year, and the gathered sing his songs, or so I have read.

Nick Drake played fewer times than XTC. He played a few festivals. Some of the shows were "bad" -- Drake was meant to perform in his living room among friends. He was shy and introverted. He was not a live performer. I thought, when I heard Robyn sing the song, less of "seeing Nick" on stage as seeing him strolling down a country lane, if any place at all.
