[=======-------- Hey cool, didn't know there were to many folks out there that knew who they were. The first 4 albums are real good. Especially the first one and "The 12 Dreams of Doctor Sardonicus" (4). After the band broke up, Randy California and Cassidy (RC's step-father) put out several albums as Spirit. Alot of them playing on RC very wierd sense of humor. One of the coolest it called "Potato Land". Don't ask, ya just gotta hear it.

Does Kayak have an album titled "See See the Sun"? I could swear I saw or heard that album, whoever it's by, back in the early 1970's. At the time it didn't register too much in my ears, but I started thinking about it years later, trying to remember who did it.

CR> The overall form of the song is a nod to "Supper's Ready" and side 2 CR> of _Abbey Road_ (in a way). Again, I disagree. There's no equivalent of "Willow Farm", for example, nor of "How Dare I Be So Beautiful?" or "As Sure As Eggs Is Eggs". About the only similarity is the closing section, which isn't even the equivalent of the closing section of SR. CR> There's Fish's voice which sounds like CR> Gabriel in Genesis in 1971 to 1972.
