5. Gently Down The Stream Of Time (trad.) - Kendall (Morse) - vocals & instrumentals
I moved these liner notes to the composite, but before I corrected the lyrics, this is how one line read:
"...Over all that golden shore fauns unseen are chanting low.
Strains we loved in days of yore, Memories of long ago, ... .." (boldface added)It's that wonderful down-Eastern accent of Kendall's that threw Ebbie (who transcribed the song) and me (at least the first 5 or 6 times I heard the song) off! I kind of wondered why there was a reference to "fauns" over on the other shore. Finally, listening to the song for the 7th or 8th time, I heard the word as "forms" -- or, in Maine-ese, "fawms!" Now that makes sense!
