I had no idea that Paul's lookalike brother, Ed, even existed, but here they are doing "Anji" on the Beeb in 1968. Ladies and gentlemen, Simon and Simon:

Well now, if you don't catch yourself tapping your toe to that one, I think you must be pushing up daisy's.

Glad you brought the video up.I am hoping this will make it as a lesson It is in the requested song with 31 votes. Hopefully it will go up the list

Very cool video. I think Den has put it up before some time ago? Doesn't matter, worth another look for sure. Thanks for posting it.

Neil has mentioned Anji a few times as a future lesson, so it's coming at some point. I'm looking forward to it, but also have plenty to work on in the meantime. For instance, I mean to have "Linus & Lucy" down cold by Christmas, and even that will be a challenge.

Yeah Linus and Lucy is challenging. Wait till you get to the jazzy part, extreme hand stretching exercise

Anji is an acoustic classic.

I'm a bit surprised that Neil hasn't done a lesson on it already, but I'm sure it's in the pipeline.

One of the problems Neil might have is that there are at least 4 well versions of this song.
Davey Graham, Paul Simon, Bert Jansch and John Renbourn have all done versions of this.
This all makes for one big lesson.

Thanks for the vid,,absolute great and looking forward to an inside look...

Well, what do you know! Thanks for posting that Walt. I had no idea Paul had a clone-like brother and wasn't aware of that BBC clip from way back (lucky the tape wasn't wiped and reused in the 60's). I kept checking the clip to see if it wasn't some kind of spoof. I must have missed it if Dennis posted it too... must have been on the balcony re-stringing my guitar.

Damn, I guess I should check the "Recommend A Lesson" tab more often.
