8. I'd never listened to WB when they were around in the early 70s.

Last week I happened to listen to a post in Music Appreciation of a song of theirs. Liked instantly what I heard and have found more on youtube. I suggest
getting on youtube, search for "Ballad of the Beacon" by Wishbone Ash and while listening, google the lyrics. To my mind the song is as relevant today as it was in 1973.
Thanks my friend
Allan
