Very interesting. Wishbone Ash was a cool band. I used to play Throw Down The Sword.

Thanks for that link. I personally like Turners version of WA much better then Powell's. Martin's bass style is the driver for the band, which is lacking in Powell's.

Plus to the one. They should just suck it up and play together again, then I might be bothered to check them out live again.

Agreed to the max. Andy singing Martin's parts is laughable and the compenent, boring bassist is the polar opposite of Mart's aggressive, up-front melodic style.

From the article: "A couple of the other names on the list may be worthy of mention: Jesus Duck -- a combination of Jesus Christ and Donald Duck -- and Marty Mortician and the Coffinettes. Did we choose wisely, do you think?"

Why is there no rofl smiley here??
