YOU?RE GONNA FIND A FEW CHANGES
BEEN GOING DOWN THERE
?CAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE
ROUND THE BEND IN THE RIVER
HAVE FORGOTTEN THEIR DREAMS
AND THEY?VE CUT OFF THEIR HAIR
And take a last flying look at the last lonely eagle
He's soaring the length of the land
Shed a tear for the fate of the last lonely eagle
For you know that he never will land
If you go down where the lights push the nighttime
Back far enough so you can?t feel the fear
Remember the boy who you left on the mountain
Who's sitting alone with the stars and his tears
There was a young man from Nantucket...
(psst, Reid; the chorus is next; just sing the same lines Bill sang)
Who kept his new bass in a bucket.
(Craig & Dave: I think we're fighting a losing battle here. lol)
Bill, tgo
Funkateers unite!!
There once was a man from L.A. .....
Alright, someone's gotta do it.
If you go down to the gas-powered flatland
Where most of the people just think that they're free
Remember the peace that you had on the mountain
Come back to the love that you had here with me.
Bill, tgo
For you know that he never will Land
My apologies guys, it was just getting a bit too maudlin here. My further apologies, as I don't know the artist or the lyrics; very nice though.
Reid; here you go (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1O_qu1UwW0).
Dave. Can we have a name and title for those of us unable to access youtube at work please?

Graeme, according to YouTube it's The New Riders Of The Purple Sage with Last Lonely Eagle ...
Thanks Adriaan. I'll be able to look it up on my son's PC when I get home ;-)

Wow, very nice. Haunting steel work by Mr. G.
Is that single-cut bass pictured in the slide-show an Alembic?
Yes, it's in a thread around here somewhere.
Michael mentions it in a post to this thread (http://club.alembicguitars.net/index.php?topic=20762).
