Tracks include guitar, bass, concertina, hand drum, and kalimba.

This song is about one of the Prood girls, who is a school teacher

I've been resting for three days now. Still able to write a few songs, so I'm not complaining! I realized how much I've just been going going going. Universe telling me to take a break in a very big way. Self care, check.
Thanks to a microtonal university session I was introduced to 37 notes per octave (edo). Here I use an Linnstrument to play an older version of Kontakt french horn section in 37 edo.

If you find this, please take a listen to the version posted on this site by Andrew Russe from 2012.
Stunning. Goosebumps. His one-man-one-guitar interpretation is now the definitive version of this song for me.
So this isn't just a Procol…
This is a mighty cool version Mike. And thanks for the shout out!
I've always loved this song since I first heard it in the early 70s. In the early 80s we (a blues rock band) kept getting asked to play it. I cannot remember whether we actually gave in. But I learnt it the way I play it now in the 90s. I still play it regularly sat on the sofa (it's about the only song I know all the way through, including my own!!) - I sing it to my wife who looks on indulgently!! lol

Cool, two different takes on this song on this site. Do you folks know each other ? Both versions are very well done. Keep it up!
It’s groovy alright, a great 60’s vibe. Mix the Kinks with the Dead and you get YOU!
Great instrumental, Pat. I used to play a First Nations version for the kids at our local library.

Jeez man, you got this down. Great vocals and guitar work. Another nice tune. Keep up the great work. :-}
Nice! Been awhile since someone did a decent country song. Very well done; lyrics, instruments mix are all great :-)
Woah
Kidding aside...I like the new vox. Very Tom Waites. Better than what I could (did) do.
@isband Seems this one might be my first recording to get the Voldemort treatment
