The Family Business: Richard Thompson and Relatives
Larry Jaffee, Audiophile Review, April 2010
Sept. 2011 note: I spent 18 months working on this piece. Richard was the easiest to get hold of. When I shared this tidbit with him following an Oct. 2010 concert at New Yorks Town Hall, he quipped: "Some things dont change." I had to go to London in September 2009 to meet up with Linda, who was attending Kamilas gig at the Troubador. Lindas former label apparently never passed on the interview request to her.
Total word count of piece: 1765
