Dave! I was there too! And I honestly do not remember TDN. Either I left
early or I have a mental block (or was it abusive substances?) Certainly
Grease Band and Humble Pie were great, and I have to confess, I still liked
Black Sabbath at that time (our band was playing Paranoid at that time).

I don't want to give anyone the false impression that I don't like Star
Trek, because I do (with reservations). I guess I'm not ready for another
series about a similar subject, even if Foundation did come first ... all
due respect to Mr. Asimov.

I know it means "silver" (the metal) in archaic English.

Well... I ain't no Brit (no offense intended!) but what Richard is referring
to here is walking of course... Shank's pony or Shank's mare is your own two
flanks.. ur, um... so to speak.... and that is free as compared to public or
private transportation....
I first saw Richard perform in '86 on the Daring Adventures tour and was
mightly impressed. He played a very, very small club and had Clive and
Christine with him as well as John Kirpatrick. I think one difference about
his new album is that the drums are farther up in the mix then past
efforts....
Cheerio!

This is the most tragic case of lost potential I can think of. Imagine how
much good music we would have now if Kenny Rogers had stayed with acid rock.

I don't know how it came about, but to ride Shanks' Pony means to walk.

Yeah, "I forgot the second title" is one of my favorite Zappa-Shankar tunes.
Zappa-Shankar?! Yes, friends, the next time you're bothered by unsightly

Another example of this is Weird Al's version of the theme from the Beverly
Hillbillies done to the tune of Aqualung! It's amazing how well they work
together.

There's something sexy about women cello players... Maybe it's how they

I've got very fond memories of last September, and a dash down to London
to see a few O-R types. Thanks guys!
We took-in the gig by Respectable Groove (at the Barbican). Enjoyable
quartet, comprising recorder/harpsichord/drums/double-bass.
I'll try to describe their music: somewhere in the territory between
Bela Fleck etc. (at their least jazzy) and Gryphon (at their most
heavy/ their most classical). Hope that helps.
Sometimes, RG are reminiscent of GG because of the way the recorder is
used, although it gets quite "folky" in places. Adventurous passages in
several tracks (quite dissonant), that need to be really listened to
every bit as much as any classical quartet.
The group have completed their follow-up CD to Tell-Tale Ducks; not been
told the title yet, and I'm still trying to get details of track-listing
etc.
This disc should appear early next year sometime. It will need far
better publicity and distribution than the last one, but I hope this one
makes a wider impact.

As some of you may recall, I had gotten a hold of some Russian released 2
on 1 CD's, MP and GfaD.
I went back to the CD shop and he had some new ones, but only 1 of each,
of which he told me he'd be getting more. Both Russian released, first PtF.
Now, the intriguing one, a 2 on 1, TF and O (sorry about abbr.). Both
recordings on this CD are NOT the Columbia versions, TF, much crisper,
cleaner (I can't believe the difference). Octopus, clean, crisp, and has the
missing piano piece, the Columbia lacks. Incredible, didn't know what I was
missing.
BTW, if he does, in fact, get more........I'll let ya'll know

your

confused. Great story, too!

Gentlemen and ladies,
I'm currently re-reading Atlas Shrugged for maybe the 6th time. Not from
start to finish, mind you. I just pick it up and dig in somewhere. In
addition to "egoism" it helped teach me that government regulations and
politics are always a half-assed solution. Free enterprise and competition
aren't perfect, but they are a lot better than 'one size fits all' government.
Thanks to the guys that helped make it possible for me to score a copy of FH
on the Terrapin Trucking label.
