A few years ago, while on holiday in America,
I made a special effort to catch an episode
of Elvis Costello's TV show, 'Spectacle', as
Ron Sexsmith was one of the guests. Ron was,
as always, great, performing covers of 'Ring
Them Bells' and 'Every Day I Write the
Book', in addition to his own 'Secret Heart'.
What really stood out that night, however,
was Jesse Winchester's incredible performance
of 'Sham-A-Ling-Dong-Ding', which moved me,
as well as fellow guest Neko Case, to tears.
Earlier today, I read a number of articles
reporting Jesse Winchester's death and
immediately searched out and posted this
performance in tribute to him. It now appears
that reports of Jesse's passing were
premature, although he remains gravely ill.
