'My Guru Always Said' comes from an old scratchy 45 of mine. It was written by G Taylor & Hugh Murphy and was sung by Joanna Carlin aka Melanie Harrold / Irma Cetes. I understand it was banned in the UK by the BBC two weeks after it was released here in 1977. I could be wrong though...
Here's a verse of the song
We have 'MudGathers' at various Folk Festivals when a Friendly Festival Organiser allocates a venue and time for people who access the MudCat to meet and share songs, tunes, stories, laughs, hugs and chocolate. You may be asking yourself, why chocolate? Well, come to a MudGather and find out!!!
