Hi Mark,

This piece may very well be my favorite amongst those that you have shared with the group thus far.  Keep up the good work; it is always nice to hear your music.

Although WW (RIP) is revered by many of the members on this list, surprisingly, I don't have anything by BJH or WW in my collection, and I am largely unfamiliar with "their" music.  I will check out BJH live 1974 as you have suggested.

Cheers,

Robert

Swan Song 

This is the last piece of shameless self promotion I will be posting here. It's as near as I have been able to get to the mellotron sound that has been an obsession for over 40 years, since I first heard Woolly play in a small night club in Manchester in 1971. I've used samples of #1565, the overall set was tuned to something nearly in tune but I haven't tuned the individual samples. Alas they are looped as well :).

Thank you and goodnight!


Mark
