Embankment Gardens, London. I wonder how many of the people eating lunch under its shade realise that this plane tree saw two world wars, the opening of the underground, 6 Kings and Queens, the building of Tower Bridge or the fight for women's voting rights.

Double cd compilation of #GeneClark and his massive contribution to folk rock, country music and beyond. Starting with #TheByrds (their main man in the mid 60s) & following his illustrious career until his untimely death in '91, this is a lovely tribute to the man and his music.
