This is a recently discovered television appearance of the magnificent Emmylou Harris in January of 1970. Her 1st album Gliding Bird had just been released in late 1969 to very little acclaim and she had yet to make any impact at all on the national music scene. The first song "Lady Of The Rose" remains unrecorded. "The Fugue For the Ox" is a track off Gliding Bird. In this footage she is 22 years old and 7 months pregnant with her first daughter. At this time her career consisted of playing in coffeehouses in Greenwich Village and it would be more than a year before she'd meet Gram Parsons, which changed her life and career forever.

MARK KNOPFLER AND EMMYLOU HARRIS, BeachComb, Black Sea. (Lyrics):
They say there`s wreckage washing up all along the coast, No one seems know too much, or got hit the most.
Nothing has been spoken, there`s not a lot to see
But something has been broken, that`s how feels to me.
We had a harmony, I never meant to small boats
Lying out in the water, like a slick of oil.
Tide is running out to the sea, under a darkening sky.
The night is falling down on me, and I`m a thinking that
I should head on, head on Home (been gone to long)
Gone too long, leave my roam... Beachcomb.
Little wild kitten out hunting, see what he can get,
You`re in a big city, that won`t stop growing yet.
the sun is going down smoking, a flaming testament
Something has been broken, and it feels permanent.

The little seabird flying, he knows where he wants to go
Quess I ought to pack my stuff, and do the thing I know
Turn around and head on back, along the old sea walls
I felt something give and crack, and now I`m sorry that`s all head on, Head on Home (been gone to long)
Gone too long, leave my roam... Beachcomb.
