Some really great songs.

I still at times hum the song Downtown. I remember when I first heard
it I was doing something with a group of girl scouts. I believe I was downtown in another town but the irony of the song stuck with me.


I love the songs of the monkeys too.

Thanks for the memories.

I still come in here,and listen to Petula Clark's songs,"Downtown",and "It's a sign of the times". I couldn't sleep,and I came in here resently to listen to these two songs on Youtube.

"Downtown" was popular with the young,and old alike. They played that song threw the mid 60's. I was a kid. They bring back good memories to me also.

I thought about this song,"Like a bridge over troubled water" late last night. I really enjoyed that also. BF

Steve, is this the High Quality one you meant? (sounds pretty good!)

Skating Away on the Thin Ice of the New Day

- by Jethro Tull (1974)

Ring Out Solstice Bells - Jethro Tull

OH, Lovely! That is from the album Songs From The Wood... whole album is delightful. try this one:

The Whistler
- Jethro Tull, album Songs from the Wood

The first song i posted (Skating Away...) is from the album Warchild... which is the only album i had access too for a good while (now i have only Youtube). here is another:

The Third Hoorah
- Jethro Tull, album Warchild

the above used to be my favorite from Warchild, not sure if it would still be today if i reheard the whole album. but i love the baroque folk sort of feel to it.

in all of their music i love the rhythms and blends of various instruments, notably some percussive instruments and of course Ian Anderson's trademark flutework.
