Doug, as you know people close to the band, perhaps you can offer a
definitive answer to this question.  Was the name of the band *really*
taken from Subotnick's title or from Subotnick's source, William Butler
Yeat's poem "Song Of Wandering Angus":  "And pluck till time and times
are done/The silver apples of the moon, the golden apples of the sun"?
