God, Fairy Dust & getting in line twice.
I am not a writer by trade. I can't call myself a blogger either, without the word catching in my throat somewhere between my vocal cords and my lips. I am a vinyl records dealer. Most of what I do online is comprised of seven parts marketing, two parts vain narcissism, and one parts opportunistic voyeurism. I'm interested in the Face Book, Classic Rocker's Network and Twitter happenings of people I know in 3D, barely know, or knew a quarter of a…

The Hangman and the Papist
I first became aware of the Strawbs in the early 70s with the release of their album From the Witchwood in 1971. In those days Rick Wakeman was still with the group before joining Yes. But the group was first formed in the mid-60s by Dave Cousins and known at that time as the Strawberry Hill Boys, a bluegrass group. The line-up has changed over the years.
