The idea came from Playboy Magazine - I was asked to submit a list in late 1999 of the 10 greatest songs of the Millennium. Ha! I thought, hypocrites, they didn't mean millennium, they mean 20 years - I'll call their bluff and do a real thousand year selection. My list was similar to the choices here on this DVD and CD set, starting in about 1068, and winding up in 2001. That they failed to print my list among others submitted by rock luminaries is a slight wound - it gave me the idea for this show. The premise is that Popular Music comes in many forms, through many ages, and as older forms get superceded, sometimes the baby is thrown out with the bathwater - great ideas, tunes, rhythms, styles get left in the dust of history, so let's have a look at what's back there and see if it still does the trick. I am unqualified to sing 98% of the material here, but me having a go could be considered part of the fun. Also, trying to render an Arthur Sullivan orchestration with acoustic guitar and snare drum is pretty desperate stuff, but may, at a stretch be thought "charming." The show is roughly chronological, with slight deviations for pacing, and the songs are the true stars. Climb aboard our magic steamroller of music, and hold very tight, please. - Richard Thompson
