Carry An Finish…
James Grant stated “With Carry An Finish Norman wrote the tune and despatched me it and I had a sense about it straight away. Actually, I simply opened a pocket book and it was just about all there and I had completely no recollection of getting written any of it. I spent a day honing it and that was it. ‘Carry an finish to this ugliness…’ has a universality about it. Perhaps it may be our Mull of Kintyre.”
Norman Blake added “Carry An Finish was one of many many musical fragments that stay on my telephone. After I was on the lookout for one thing that may work for BBG, this tune sprang to thoughts. It was a musical concept with out a lyric and it occurred to me that James might need one thing in one among his notebooks that will work. I despatched the telephone recording off to him and the very subsequent day we had a completed track.”
