What a fun read ... almost 15 years to the day this adventure started and produced Desolation Island.

... by the way, that became the name by accident. I hadn't thought about a name for it, when we recorded it on this trip ... and so Paul Mills stored it as Desolation Island, which was the book that inspired the song. That name won by default because months later, when I came back to Toronto to finish the album, I never gave the title another thought.

But when Aengus Finnan sang the song he told me he called it Leopard's Run ... which of course is a much better name!!

Too late though - for me.
