Look what's just around the corner !!
Strawbs very own Dave Lambert has a very special album out in October on Angel Air - An iconic live version of "The Magic Shoemaker" played live for the first time by his band Fire and recorded in Windlesham Nov/ Dec 2007.
And available from September. Was Strawbs "Broken Hearted Bride"
I can be found quite often at "Witchwood" the Strawbs discussion group where I have been a member for longer than some would wish. I am purveyor of the famous badge seen on my home page except everyone else gets one without "the badgeman" emblazoned across it.
These are now available WORLDWIDE using paypal and all you have to do is leave me a comment saying you want one and I'll send you a personalised instruction.
They already have homes in Canada USA Britain of course Poland Denmark Holland and New Zealand and more that I have forgotten.
You never know who you might bump in to when wearing one whether its at a Strawbs gig or downtown in New York. All Witchwood are a friendly bunch, full of wordly wisdom, so why don't you pop in to "Yahoo groups" and add your own profile.
It helps if you have an interest in music of Strawbs or something similar, but I'm sure we would give a friendly welcome to any one else if they want a little discussion.

Not my specialist subject. I know they start with a beginning except when directors try to be clever and give you the ending first and then show you how they got there.
Most films do however usually finish with an ending. Though sometimes you have to work it out yourself because the ending is left for you to guess. (Sometimes there is a sequel being planned - (How exciting ! )
Nothing to say except I used to like Whispering Bob, before the show got taken over.
Well booklet actually - the one which came with the Strawbs boxed set A Taste of Strawbs.
Well I have one or two - they will know who they are (I think )
