How about Greg Lake --> Ken Hensley --> John Glascock? All three were in Gods, with Glascock in an earlier version and Lake in a later version of the band, but Hensley played with both. If this needs to be chronoogical, Hensley & Glascock were in Toe Fat before Glascock joined Jethro Tull.

Here are a few places you can buy it ($49 isn't too bad): http://www.fonts.com/FindFonts/detail.htm?pid=261389 http://www.paratype.com/astore/fonts/Scripps-College-Old-Style.htm Do not feed the oyster, - -tc ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 8 Feb 2006 13:08:39 -0800 From: Eb Subject: reap (attn Mike Godwin and proggies) http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/news.php?id=8788 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 8 Feb 2006 13:55:33 -0800 From: Spotted Eagle Ray Subject: Re: reap (attn Mike Godwin and proggies) On 2/8/06, Eb wrote: > > http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/news.php?id=8788 > In the past few years Dean had again been involved in a variety of Soft > Machine-derived line-ups : SoftWorks with Hugh Hopper, Allan Holdsworth and > John Marshall; Soft Machine Legacy with Etheridge replacing Holdsworth; Soft > Bounds, with Hopper and French jazzers Sophia Domancich and Simon Goubert; > and the French-based PolySoft tribute project, again featuring Hopper. With all of those Soft-Spinoffs, it's shocking he wasn't on "Nextdoorland" just, like, automatically... - -Rx ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2006 07:18:12 -0600 From: 2fs Subject: impending apocalypse? I didn't actually watch the Grammies - but reading about it, I cautiously offer the notion that, radically for the last few years it seems, actual musicians are doing better than in the past. Whatever else you can say about them, U2, Green Day, and many of the performers actually write songs and play instruments and sing and stuff...as opposed to being fashion models with microphones (and AutoTune) and producers. Even Kelly Clarkson, despite her career's dubious origins, can actually sing - and I don't care what anyone says, that's a very catchy song. Plus - Sly Stone? On the other hand, our local newspaper's music columnist dunned the execution - - which I wouldn't know about. But one irksome thing about the article: apparently, I am no longer part of the universe, since it is not my opinion that the most recent U2 album (sidenote: how can an album be eligible for awards in two different years?) is not one of their weaker ones. In fact, I like it far better than the overrated (in my opinion, not that of the universe) one before it whose title I can't recall and which was hailed as a "return to form", and pretty much like it as well as _Pop_ (which a lot of people hated, but which I thought was interesting - I seem to recall Miles is a fan as well). My main criticism of HTDAAB is that a ballad or two is drippy, and that one or two production touches are a bit too mainstreamy - there's this synth-piano sound on a track about 2/3 through that's just way too too. (Sorry about the vagueness - I listened to it in the car the other day, and I haven't paid enough attention to song titles since I picked it up used about two months ago.) BTW: did all fegs relocate to Montana and move into isolated shacks? It's been awfully quiet here... - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V15 #34 *******************************
