White Bird was a classic. I don't remember it they produced any more albums together. It was truly a listening pleasure. I LOVED that album you showed. White Bird was a classic.

As a tribute to Randy California, I have culled, at random, quotes from his favorite poem. “If” “If you can wait and not be tired of waiting, Or be lied about, don’t deal in lies”, “If you can watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build “em up with worn-out tools;" “If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run -- Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And - - which is more - - you’ll be a Man, my son! -Rudyard Kiplining And what a beautiful man you grew up to be, - Mom This is from his website.

As a tribute to Randy California,
I have culled, at random, quotes from his favorite poem.

“If”

“If you can wait and not be tired of waiting,
Or be lied about, don’t deal in lies”,

“If you can watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build “em up with worn-out tools;”

“If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run –
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And – - which is more – - you’ll be a Man, my son!
-Rudyard Kiplining

And what a beautiful man you grew up to be,

– Mom

Let's throw some vampires into the mix because, after all, Lincoln's real-life accomplishments are so bland. Not one dime of mine will go toward encouraging this level of crap entertainment.

I think there's room for more takes on the vampire genre, especially those lacking romance. Have you seen this series about a mafia hitman who is also a vampire?

Or maybe it's because I find something inherently wrong in the belief that we need a holiday in order to for lovers to say "I love you". Shouldn't that be something lovers say and show to each other the other 364 days out of each year? Or maybe it's because I would never require or desire the man I love to throw money away on a commercial flowers when a wild flower picked by the side of the road and presented to me on any day other than Feb. 14th is, to me, the epitome of romance.

Grech played on their first two albums, 'Music In a Doll’s House’ (1968) and ‘Family Entertainment’ (1969). The latter album contains three of his songs, "How-Hi-The-Li." "Face In the Cloud," and the single "Second Generation Woman." Many observers believe that Grech's departure for Blind Faith discombobulated Family on the eve of their first U.S. tour in April 1969 and prevented them from obtaining success in America.
