Rocky Road

I saw them live with Jethro Tull...I think Tull knew they had to do a bang-up job

(which Anderson and crew did, of course) after Span had blown our minds. I had never heard of them...ca. 1972 (?) San Diego.
Light projected downward with the group standing as individually lit obelisks; you heard Maddy singing a capella. The entire look and sound very weird and eerie had everyone mesmerized.
Suddenly, they went into a whirling jig around the stage and the tassels that had hung over them, creating that obelisk effect, flew out as they continued to spin around. The Celtic sounds of the band washed over us, causing us to rise from our seats along with them.
I was instantly in love with their music.
I have a test record of Silly Sisters that is awesome. I think I'll play Commoner's Crown right now, though. For those who have never seen the cover, those are hundreds,if not thousands of human figures climbing up the sides of the crown...great cover!

There is no such thing as too many records.
There is just too little room for them!
