There are a LOT of Al Stewart fans out there! In last week's column I wrote about attending his wonderful concert on Oct. 26 at Phoenixville's Colonial Theater, and I keep getting asked: Did he do "Road to Moscow"? No, alas, he didn't. The history songs he did were "Palace of Versailles," "Lord Grenville," "On the Border," and "Merlin." (I guess "Gina on the King's Row" and "Soho" also count as history songs these days.)
He also sang "Antarctica," preceding it with biographical information about Shackleton and several other explorers.
"You might think this is a song about them," he said. "It's not. It's about a very cold woman" who refused to date him.
