Subject: RE: Who Likes Donovan? Favourite Song?
ClaireBear --

that would be "Voyage of the Moon", from my fave Donovan (double) LP, "HMS Donovan" (1971), which continues his effort to make music "For Little Ones". On it, he sings "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", "Lord of the Dance", Scots trad songs "Henry Martin" and "Coulter's Candy", and sets to music a slew of poems such as "Queen Mab", "Lost Time", "The Owl and the Pussycat", "Wynken, Blynken and Nod", and, hilariously, Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky" and "The Walrus and the Carpenter".

I lost this record ages ago and had given up on ever finding it again, until a friend gave me a copy he dug up God knows where, just a few years back. I was ecstatic, to say the least.

Cheers,
Michael
