Vicar, or anyone {including Bruce}, I'm trying to place the line "Step down the air raid siren says - don't walk in the rain". Is that from Bruce's song "Justine's Blues?"

I love the line from that song that says "defenders of my conscious are threatening to resign".

Also, Vicar, I wholeheartedly agree with your comment that it would be wonderful if Bruce would also "...direct [his] talent and attention to some even broader and significant matters".

I've heard that Bruce wrote a song called "Lay Down Your Drums" {or something like that} which I understand Richie Havens has performed during some of his concerts. However, I've never heard that song or seen its words in print. But I have heard "My Country 'Tis Of Thee", and that is one of my favorite Bruce Murdoch songs.

Also, Bruce recently {2007?} wrote a topical {protest} song called "The Other Voice" {the voice of honesty} and put it on this website http://ezfolk.com/audio/bands/1338/music.php. However, I can't get it to play now which is a shame because I think that song is worthy of a lot of attention and airplay.

I believe that aong and his new love/relationship songs are only the beginning...again...for Bruce. And I join others in saying "More power to him".
