I had intended to start this thread on Saturday.

I got the intro done and then got busy with some stuff.

"In the late 1960s I was laying on a couch in Herb Gart's office. He and Jeanne Harcourt Powell were discussing a new album and they were trying to choose the A side for a 45 release of some kid who was just breaking into music. The first song they played was good, but not an A side--and I said so. The second choice: well, I listened to the intro and two stanzas and said, "Why is there a question about this?" I went back to sleep. The kid was Don McLean and the song was "American Pie." In a way, I was there when I found out 'the music died'. And in a way things have come full circle because I will be able to say I was there the day it came back to life.

Alan Moorhouse's new CD, "Travellers' Tales" which is due for release in about four weeks is a work of art by an excellent and talented singer/songwriter.

This is the best folk-rock CD I have heard in years, and Moorhouse is a great writer/story teller.

Will continue on Saturday.
