That's the plan for tonight! Donovan's music is so awesome, I love it. I wish more people listened to him and he got the respect he deserved.

Thumbs up Thanks Inhale. Great picks
Hurdy Gurdy Man - awesome tune. And no wonder: Jimmy Page, John Bonham and John Paul Jones had played on this song, just months before the mighty Led Zeppelin got off the ground. As the story goes by Donovan himself:
Quote:
'Written in India, about the loss of the World's Wisdom and the Call to Awakening. My chords like a mantra, and in my head I heard power guitar riffs and wild drums, like Keith Moon of The Who. Ecstatic trance vibes. When I played this song to my producer, Mickie Most, I said, "This is for Jimi Hendrix" (who I had met first week he arrived in London). "No," said Mickie, "its your next single." I said, "Lets get Jimi to play guitar."
Jimi was gigging and couldn't, so Jimmy Page came in with John Bonham and John Paul Jones, who also arranged the track. Three future members of Led Zeppelin. This acoustic chant with classic-rock power opened the Celtic-rock to come. And the lyric announced that meditation had arrived in pop culture. '
.

Another one of my favorite Donovan tunes is "Season Of The Witch". I also find Donovans tale of this tune a bit amusing:
Quote:
' Spooky but true. I was the first pot-bust in London, followed by The Stones and The Beatles. I wrote this song before the bust. Prophecy again, How dare I be so cool? It's a magic track. And the sorceress, she is dancing her kali dance into the numina! '

Donovan has a few children's albums (HMS Donovan and the second LP of A Gift from a Flower to a Garden entitled For Little Ones) that I plan on playing incessantly for my future children. I need to start teaching them about good music early

I like Season of the Witch too. And Page also played on Sunshine Superman. I really like D's jazzed up acoustic versions of these two.
