BC: [cuts in] There’ll be no way to record another song, they wanted to get out of there -- they’re not the nicest people -- and um, I don’t know if it’s a British thing or it’s a BBC thing or maybe a bit of both, but um...I said, “Well, I think I can do this song in 20 minutes” and they said “There’s no way.” And I did the guitar in one take, the solo in one take and the vocal in two, still had time to go into the control room and listen to the vocal and say “Take the first half of this one and the second half of this one.” And uh, our record company wanted to put it on a compilation record, which we put out called Pisces Iscariot in 1994. And uh, yeah, and uh, and uh, and much to our surprise, it became a hit song and turned a album track into a perennial single. Um, of course it got me to Stevie Nicks’s house...uh, heh, yes, and that’s a good part. And uh, and uh, the best part of the story is, uh, she was showing me her beautiful piano and uh, so she encouraged me to sit down and play the piano. I can’t play piano very well, and then she sat down next to me and started playing Rhiannon. (a few jealous noises from the audience) Um, yeah, so, uh, so this song’s, uh, brought a lot of gifts to our life. So I hope you enjoy it.
