Not Given Lightly
I was looking for a new domain name (for a secret project!?!) and settled on notgivenlightly.com, which fits the theme of the site and is a nice allusion to that classic Chris Knox tune of the same name. The point of this post though is to exclaim that who knew Frente had covered it!? When I Googled “not given lightly” they came up more often than any Chris Knox references.
For my Nth American readers…if you like a your singer song writers to be lo-fi, edgy, with a unique vocal style, and with solid credentials in 70’s punk rock then you could do worse than check out Chris Knox…you can find him on Amazon and Last.fm.

Hey!
We had this as our first dance at our wedding recently.
(Not given Lightly by Chris Knox)
I also got to see the man himself perform recently at an anti-nuclear party, and sort of got to do a duet with him to this very song.
Great song, Great domain name :)

That’s awesome…I saw him live many years ago (uni orientation gig of some sort I think). Dude’s a national treasure.
