	If I remember my trivia correctly the spoken intro is by Roy 
Harper, and it's the same Stonehenge as `Stonehenge Decoded' but not the 
same night and therefore not the same line-up becaue on the `Watching 
the Grass Grow' night Huw was ill? I'm sure someone will correct me if 
I'm wrong. Mind you my famous `in this order' file insists that Jenny 
Chapman should have been singing with the Hawks at that point and I 
can't hear her, mind you this might not be the best pair of numbers to 
register a backing singer...

	Isn't it marvellous what too little sleep and too much caffeine 
will do to a brain, yours,

ObEP: Known - `Grey Skies' EP (if you ever get the chance to see this 
band do it without a second thought. If Hendrix had grown up in a London 
slum listening to hip-hop, and his historical self as well...)
