2 Pangs.  One when I listen to this very evocative song.  The other when I lament our collective loss of Nick.  A cruel beauty.  Thanks Bill for not letting this music slip into obscurity.

This song pre-dates that one by over a year.  "Taurus" by Spirit is even earlier.

Same seque, same effect a couple months later. Anyone got any stats on the content and frequency of Bill's inspired little (or large?) streams of joy?

Nick Drake is on my short-list (with Gram Parsons) of died-too-young wish-I-could-hear-what-they-woulda-come-up-with-later-in-life musicians.
