Exteneded liner notes:
“It was a long, beautiful and pleasant train ride from Scotland. The air was fresh. The cool spring was still in command though fast losing its duties- flowers were open and a light, sweet fragrance tickled the senses. I was asleep when we pulled into the station. Birds flew from the beams of the ceiling. The tracks were shiny and smooth; puffs of great dark smoke rose and surrounded the birds. My luggage had been riding in back. I picked it up and headed to the taxi stand”. Available on-line at Lous Records.
