The mind boggles.  I wonder if Lake and McDonald ever tried
to kick Fripp out of King Crimson.  I'm amused that Chris Squire
has seemingly become the franchise holder through never having
had a snit and quitting Yes...  I thought the fake Byrds shows
had become a thing of the past when McGuinn, Crosby and Hillman
put some new reunion tunes on the box set, not to mention upon the
deaths of Clarke and Clark, but some "Byrds Celebration" outfit
fronted by Skip Battin was at severale festivals and county fairs
in the area last summer...  But then, I quite enjoyed the Byrds
Tribute with C & C, Rick Roberts, John York and Blondie Chaplin
a while back.  Gene did a bunch of solo stuff and I've never seen
anybody play 4/4 with their eyes rolled back in their head the
way Michael did...
 KN> BTW, just got a nice stack of stuff in the mail: 
 KN> 8 tracks of 
 KN> Nektar - Remember the Future, Recycled, Down to Earth 
 KN> Michael Quatro Jam Band - Paintings (this is a joke, 
 KN> right? I mean, that cover of "Court of the Crimson 
 KN> King" is a howler) 
Where do you get this stuff?  _Days Of Future Passed_ is still
my only 8-track worth listening to since I haven't been able or
willing to bust loose and waste any Saturdays doing the rummage
sale thing.  And the outdoor bargain season seems just about
over, although it was so unseasonably pleasant yesterday that
I actually did some of the spring cleaning!
 KN> Shadowfax - Watercourse Way  - totally excellent album, 
 KN> kind of like a cross between Mahavishnu Orchestra and 
 KN> Happy the Man, with a couple of acoustic numbers that 
 KN> sound a lot like Oregon. Great playing. A long lost 
 KN> American prog classic. However, their stuff on Windham 
 KN> Hill when they reformed in the 80's is, except for one 
 KN> track on their first WH album, mawkish crap, enough to 
 KN> put even non-diabetics into a coma. 
This was good enough that I had to wait until Lora left the house
to listen to it.  I think I unconsciously thought they were
Spyro Gyra on the basis of the cover art and hadn't played the
record in years & years...
