   About Richard Thompson
"I still believe music can change the world and will. It's real, and with the media in place, it can still develop a powerful wallop."

Richard Thompson- Beesweb "Viewpoint", 11.8.07

THIS IS A RICHARD THOMPSON FANSITE ONLY!

While it would be awesome if RT actually could respond, do we really think one of the greatest musicians of the age has time for a MySpace profile? :) If you would like to contact RT, we suggest emailing the moderators of his official site:

beekeeper@richardthompson-music.com

These folks are extremely prompt and helpful. We've always had great luck in contacting them.

Excerpt from RT's official website:

http://www.richardthompson-music.com/

Named by Rolling Stone Magazine as one of the Top 20 Guitarists of all-time and the recent recipient of both an Ivor Novello Award for Songwriting and the 2006 BBC Lifetime Achievement Award, the iconic British folk rock legend is one of the world's most critically acclaimed and prolific songwriters. His work is admired and recorded by such artists as Bonnie Raitt, David Byrne and Elvis Costello. From his teenage years as a founding member of the 1960's pioneering group Fairport Convention to duo work with his then-wife, Linda Thompson, and over 20 years as a solo artist, to scoring Werner Hertzog's 2005 documentary 'Grizzly Man', Richard Thompson's astounding body of work includes over 40 albums of lyrical wit anchored by such a singular acoustic and electric guitar delivery that Newsweek recently announced, 'like all genuine art, it satisfies completely.' You've been marked on my visitor map!

When I saw you play last month here in Arcata, I was of course in awe of your music, but I think what I appreciated the most was your warm smile, which cheered me up at the end of a very rough day :)

Probe the day, each day, for
Opportunity or disappointment, is it
Endless change or constant stasis?
Total the breaths, the sighs, if you can
Retrace smiles and laughter, frowns and tears;
Your conclusion, a life or a poem?

Robert Staniford

Have a great weekend

Sharing love...

Magic that touches all
throughout the ages,
poems
that fill myriad pages
recount the tale
that love’s the only magic
that can never fail.
