One Misty Moisty Morning

What do I think about this song? I've been asking myself for some time and I think I have finally figured it out.

Buck Rogers Goes to the Renaissance Festival! And that is certainly not a bad thing! This is a pretty wild song with a pretty wild arrangement. Possibly a perfect fusion between disco and Renaissance Music.

I like the bouncy music and the manner in which the arrangement grows. There is a joy to be found in this song (alas it has not to do with Erin Gray).

I am betting that their live performances are much more intense and rousing. The recorded version on this collection may be just a tad sleepy and it seems like there ought to be cheering and voices or something at the end.

When I visited with Mixdorf recently we gently perused some old Steeleye Span albums and even gave a couple a spin. We then hoped hard that someday Steeleye Span, Steely Dan, and Pat & Dan might all join together for a wonderful summer concert in 2009 in Londonderry.

Could it happen?

Gil Gerard certainly does.

I think that is what I meant by "cheesy."

Well, I didn't see the "space-out" thing, nor the disco thing.

Nor will you. That is the mind pf Might Tom at work, and its mysteries remain shrouded in a fog.
