Comments and Reviews

Juke Jules SUBS 14th Oct 2021		I'd forgotten the story of George's Son. Let's hear it
Fokeman 9th Oct 2021		One of these songs was written by Thomas Hardy. Track A1 was also inspired by part of a Thomas Hardy novel. George was Gabriel Oak's sheepdog in "Far From The Madding Crowd" and he had a young sheepdog son who made the great mistake of taking the whole flock of Gabriel Oak's sheep off the edge of a cliff. He was very efficient and took the whole damned lot, every last sheep off the cliff before Oak managed to stop him. Another tale of monumental tragedy.
Fokeman 8th Oct 2021		I see your cover was signed by John Kirkpatrick! The Great John Kirkpatrick!
Juke Jules SUBS 2nd Feb 2014		Very 'ECM' feel to the front image on this Topic release
