DimeTravel 055 ::: Thanks to the original taper & trader! ::: Corrections welcome ::: Thanks to the original taper. Nice there was a note on this one. While working at my 3rd or 4th record store in the Happy Valley, I met a friend of the owner's who came down from Maine every few months to see & buy music. The guy was one of of the nicest hippies walking the planet, name of Forrest. I have the unpleasant feeling he mighta left the planet at an earlier age than he should of (I hope I'm wrong & if I am & yr reading this, please get in touch). In any case, a lover of Britfolk & the Jefferson Airplane, and I enjoyed his company whenever our paths crossed. Quite enjoyed this Pentangle tour. Spent some time on the road & saw some shows & I was travelling a lot back in those days & think I bumped into the band at Logan airport after their West Coast gigs & we all happened to be flying out to the UK on the same day. Small world. Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yers truly, Knees
