Here was my hack at it:

1. Eight songs that mention a dream, or dreams.
Dreamland
Sunflower Cat “In my dream I can fly, fly high”
On the Western Skyline “Too many dreams, not enough hope”
The Red Plains “One day it all came running like a bad dream”
The Old Playground “Where some play for dreams, And the rest just play for pride”
‘Til the Dreaming’s Done
Barren Ground “Good seed don’t grow On the barren ground Good things don’t come along As you just sit dreaming on”
Across the River “And remembers how she dreamed of rowing away” + “I dreamed she came, when I was down”
Harbor Lights “To the dream of your fancy”
Fields of Gray “There’ll be sad scenes and bad dreams”
Halcyon Days “maybe just a dream, time slowin’ down dream”

2. Seven songs that include a road.
Valley Road
Road Not Taken
Lost Soul “there’s a lost soul comin’ down the road
The Changes “Got a place for you, got some roadwork”
Down the Road Tonight
Preacher in the Ring II “Maybe I’m going down a wrong road”
Night on the Town “Once they get out on the road”

3. Four songs that refers to a boat(s).
Look Out Any Window “there’s a man working on a boat”
Lost Soul “We’ll row the boat to the far shore”
Gulf of Mexico Fishing Boat Blues
Mandolin Rain “The boat’s steaming in”
The Long Race “Where the watermen’s boats are anchored”

4. Three songs that talk about candy.
Candy Mountain Run
Cartoons and Candy
King of the Hill “Got some candy, take a lick, Great white hope, shooting bricks”

5. Three songs that mention a clown.
Halcyon Days “but mostly I’m a clown”
Gonna Be Some Changes Made “look in the mirror I see a clown’s face”
Place Under the Sun “I’m stumbling around with a frown like a bumbling clown”
Pete & Manny “We thought he looked like a clown in tights”

6. Two songs that feature the phrase “King of the Hill”
King of the Hill
Stander on the Mountain “The king of the hill runs away”

7. Two songs that make reference to the sun.
Walk in the Sun
Place under the Sun

8. Two songs that include the phrase “Across the River”
Across the River
Lost in the Snow “Across the river and through the woods”

9. Two songs that mention elephants.
Circus on the Moon “I’m here with the elephants, I’m cleaning up their mess”
Big Swing Face – can’t remember offhand and I don’t have the CD liner with me to look it up!

10. And one song that features underwear!
Wild Frontier “Electric sun, electric hair, Leather skin , leather underwear”
(Heir Gordon has “undergarments”)

Here’s a stumper, though: which song mentions a kazoo?

uh oh…I notice this has slipped from the radar on the bh.com/tour page. The one show I have a decent chance of making this summer…
Is it not happening now, or is it just that the winery hasn’t announced their lineup yet?

*** Nevermind – just got a sneak peak email with their summer lineup – it’s still a go!

I wasn’t happy with the transition into EOI, so I fixed the ‘cut’ between tracks. You can re-download track 05b-conversation and then 06-End of the Innocence if you’d like! (I only redid the mp3s – haven’t tackled the flacs, yet, but can if anyone wants me to…)

Thanks, Bryan. Lots of different things that can be added, too. Venue pictures and addresses, links to their websites and ticket info, and on completed shows maybe a link to the setlist, pictures, torrent on etree and eventually the official release from MunckMusic. So many possibilities, so little time!!!

I took a sneak peek (listen?) over the weekend and am hugely impressed! “Pastures of Plenty” is getting heavy rotation on my playlist and “The Way It Is” in 5/4?!? Absolutely brilliant! I’ve tossed this request on stage several times over the years and it’s great to finally hear it other than in my head.

And these are only the first 2 tracks! There are many other gems to discover and I’ll rave more later.

Thank you to all that contributed and especially Si for putting it all together!!!

Uh oh – just got a message from Si’s cell phone: his connection is down.
(and here I thought he’d just nodded off for a bit…)

Hopefully he’ll be back up again soon for updates and if I hear anything else I’ll pass it along!

And we’re off! So far so good – best of luck, Simon!

Awww heck with it – this is probably easier. 160 kbps mp3s are here:

right-click on each file and ‘save as’ to your computer. Enjoy!

I have wavs that need a little editing and then conversion to mp3 that I can put up soon.

Looks like ‘Czar of Blabbery’ it is!

All are available for download now…

… or! sing the words to “Amazing Grace” to the tune from “Gilligan’s Island”. 😉
