Yes I seem vaguely to recall attending a Strawbs concert in the UK in the early 80's and somewhere I still have a cassette of their greatest hits
And another funny thing Janice
I am fairly sure that you once mentioned Al Stewart here possibly in connection with him being one of your guests at your emporium
I searched the forums here but all I found by you was a reference to his kinsman (badrat) John. I mention Al because on the way back from a routine hospital visit on Monday to New Brunswick (NJ-not Jessi-Joe country) we were passing through the town of Metuchen not 6 miles south of our home and out of the corner of my eye I caught sight of a poster for Al Stewart (who was once a resident of Bournemouth England 7 miles south of my parents home from 1949 to 1976). I quickly looked him up on the internet and found that he is appearing om Tuesday 2 May at the Metuchen Forum Theater

tix are on sale (at only $18.00 each)
from ticketmania at:-

I tried to see what tix were left but that selling organisation stupidly fails to tell you the actual ticket numbers (if you try to order on line)
I phoned and they could not tell me so I had to phone the theatre box office
OK current best seats are in row Q in the centre or row P on one side. Now when I mentioned this concert to Susan, although she remembered "Year of the Cat" she did not seem very enthusiastic.
But I still love "Time Passages" and find that I have the vinyl here albeit unplayed for many a year
I have looked at the glowing reports on Al at:-

especially by David in Sweden so I must try to get Susan to read them.
but Janice did you ever have Al to your place ?
and
Sheryl did you get to see Al at McC-G-abes or not last July and if so how was it?
that Al Stewart topic got hijacked by Tyson fans (no Ian not Mike!)

And Janice I keep meaning to ask you this.
In the video that you were making of last May's Delta Chelsea jam session did you by chance capture anything of Ron Jones' remarkable "Face of a Thousand People" rendition, even if only audio?
