I am wondering if there are others who would like to see those wonderful songs re-introduced to the unsuspecting public - rather than just clutched to the bosoms of those of us who know and love them. My kids (46 and 49) remember them still. I have a vision of a 40th anniversary edition. Similar but not exactly the same. All we need is the cooperation of that sweet guy, and a few other folks. What sayest thou??

Are you speaking of the Murdoch in drydock in either safe havens or Havens' safe, per-chants?

Served as a whole, or merely Peace-meal?

Dorothy, that would never get my cooperation. Sorry. But there it is!

Still revolting, after all these years? I never got to hear it. If Bruce claim's it's a good thing, then let it rest. Maybe he'll re-record a few someday for the eventual "Greatest Hits" album. Maybe not. His call. His spin on it.

Until then, The Beatles' "Revolver" will have to do, I guess. It ain't Murdoch, but it ain't bad.

Or maybe this WAS about vinyl after all...

I have been listening to it for two weeks. It is stuck in my car CD player. The more I listen, the more I appreciate those terrific songs, love that music. I never tire of them. Those meaningful, thought-provoking songs deserve wider listening. The world needs to hear them - valid today as they were in 1970. The HS students for whom I played a couple songs, were impressed! However, let's just drop it in respect for those who are not in sync with me. OK?

Dorothy, I strongly agree with your assessment and your students' assessment about Bruce's songs and I also wish that more people could here them.

But it's Bruce's decision what he wants to do or doesn't want to do with those particular songs.

In the mean time, thankfully he's composed some great new songs. Check out some of them on his MySpace page.

I would love to re-record some of them, but I'm working on new songs just now. Songs I like from that record: "Justine's Blues", "Mary, You are My Friend"--(outdated), "Let's Lay Down Our Drum" (not outdated, unfortunately), and maybe one other. The production was a disaster. So was my work on it. I'm tired of hearing about that record. It was 28 years ago. This is now. If people want to record stuff from it, that's their right. As for me, I prefer what I'm writing now, and that's the way it is.

And what you are doing now is quite wonderful.
