Magnificent in it's concept and performance, Van leading massed strings and gathered voices exulting in the magic of Avalon, the grail and the promise of rebirth.
She's alright with me ... Delicate, passionate and precise. Organ, flute, and guitar. Van in control, open throated and open hearted. The bee, not a bee. THE bee. Mr Connie Hay on the drums alone. Ow! Listen to the man play. A monumental classic. Wave after wave. Peak after peak. She's an angel ...
And he loved the little children ... I don't know why this song is so intoxicating. It puts me in the room with Van, drink in hand, while he sits at the piano and tells me all about this man. I feel like I know him intimately. Almost as if somehow it is my story as well. Or could be. Touching, beautiful and wondrous. Lord, he was a drinking man ...
