RIP Bill Fay
I’m ashamed to admit I hadn’t thought about him in a long time.
And, as it always is, the reason to remember inevitably presents itself, one way or another.
On this particular photo he reminds me late poet, songwriter and friend Vassia Borodin, which makes me actually cry.

BTW, it turns out that starting from the 2010s, he released several brand-new studio albums. On the last one, released exactly 50 years after his self-titled debut, was this marvel of a reimagining of his decades-old songs.

It's somehow in the same vein as the great Marianne Faithfull reimagining songs from her debut records in her later years, now with a full understanding of what was behind all the words.

The important difference, of course, is that Fay actually wrote his songs.
Case of the point, “Don't Let My Marigolds Die”
