    Это одна из моих любимых групп... В это списке лед зеппелин, дип перпл, рейнбоу, джетро талл и прочие монстры... Нет, не монстры, а ангелы. Силли визард, как ангел, вдруг прилетел ко мне и явил мне фолк музыку... Спасибо....

    The combination of Andy's voice with Phil's keyboards just grabs me with their incredible music chemistry. I remember seeing them in the 80's in Western Canadian Folk music festivals ; they often closed out the evening's show as they were often the best act. Silly Wizard was such a fantastic unique band, and great crowd engaging by Andy - Ah, those were the days!!!

    I saw them when they were touring England, they were amazing. I still play the CD that I bought all those years ago, I will NEVER get fed up with it. I wonder what the members of Barachois are doing now. I would love to know.

    Michael Cooney came to my children's elementary school in the 80's. The weirdo principal, today would be called a Christian Nationalist, forbade his singing songs such as, "Plant a Watermelon Up Above My Head," and other innocuous songs that he deemed offensive. "You Could Be the Next to Die." Anyhoo, my kids and I made a "We Love You, Michael Cooney," banner and held it up during the concert. He invited us back stage after the show. My kids never forgot it. Such a talented guy.

    And here I have a further version of the song "The Ash Grove" direct from the computer game "Rhiannon - Curse of the Four Branches": ua-cam.com/video/LcJiTeMjGSY/v-deo.html In this version, that song is played by a church organ. It is really fascinating and totally interesting.

    My all time favorite song since 1963. I learned to play a fancy one like that, the only fancy version of a tune I’ve ever successfully mastered. Guess that’s because it is my favorite.
