Barbara Dickson’s sleeve notes on
Who Knows Where the Time Goes?:
“Sandy Denny was a great singer and very appreciated until her untimely
death. This song is probably her best known and has a truly timeless
quality which I hope we have preserved. Troy Donockley’s uilleann pipes
are particularly suited to the feeling of the lyric.”
