    Happy 70th Birthday to Robert Wyatt

    That is all.
    Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.

    Happy Birthday to Robert Wyatt, Soft Machine founder & drummer, Loyal-Lefty, and original music thinker. He turns 70 today. There's a good biography out on him now called Different Every Time by Marcus O'Dair. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...6687594/echoes
    I don't think I realized how he was forced out of The Soft Machine.

    Just heard Ruth is Stranger than Richard last night... (in the frame of my reading the Different Every Time book)

    The CD is still in the deck.... I think I'll play it again tonight

    Cheers to Robert

    Happy Birthday!

    If you're a stranger to the music of Softs
    Perhaps you should listen and try it

    Just ending the limerick, Dave

    A major figure and the embodiment of the spirit that animated the music in the 60s. Happy BD!
