Bob on, as Bill used to say. . . Maecenas:
Now Antony
Must leave her utterly. Enobarbus:
Never, he will not:
Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale
Her infinite variety. Other women cloy
The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry
Where most she satisfies. . . . Antony And Cleopatra Act 2, scene 2, 232–237 |

Wait a sec - my iPhone is delayed and it was the previous song I was digging! This totally sounds like 1973 - and now I understand the Cat Stevens reference. :-) |

One of the first bands I ever saw... with Rick Wakeman before he joined Yes... so that does date me!
Much overlooked band of the early 70''s - 'From the Witchwood' being too good for words... 'Hangman and the Papist' still chills.

This album followed by Hero and Heroine followed by Ghosts is a triumvirate of the most equsite. They never got the credit they deserved. Saw them at Indiana University of Pa in 1973 with Dave Mason: great show!!! |

For the hardly of herring:
By still waters I lay down with the lambs
In pastures green I made peace with my soul
And I cared not for the night
While my guiding star shone bright
By still waters I lay down
I lay down. Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
For my soul. At the roadside I took toll of my times
In dirty streets I found peace for my soul
May the merciful be right
Are you ready for the night
At the roadside I lay down
I lay down. Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
For my soul. In deep sorrow I took flight with the sun
From mountains high I gained strength for my soul
I proved stronger than the test
When my spirit came to rest
In deep sorrow I lay down
I lay down. Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down
For my soul.

We saw The Strawbs play live a couple of years ago in Devon. They were bloody FANTASTIC! What a band; they were brilliant, great entertainers and the quality of the music was just 100%. Age hath not dimmed them; or something!

LOL! That was the period. I seem to recall it was one of those dope-dealing friends in college residence ('the zoo') with a great sound system that turned me on to the Strawbs. |

Beyond wonderful to hear Dave Cousins' voice here on RP. The Strawbs are on tour in this region, I believe...
Thanks, Bill!
