First heard this in 1967 on WBCN in Boston and bought the album next day. Might be my all time fav recording. Ethereal-engaging- thoughtful...I’m 70 and it still gives me the feels.
A magical era indeed...with Alison Steele and especially Jonathon Schwartz like a second set of parents illuminating our minds in music and lyric,nurturing us on a daily basis from the Wind to Send in the Clowns...so glad to be a part of it all.
Pete Formatale of WNEW-FM turned me onto this. I worked for them and helped arrange their first Annual Christmas Concert @ Philharmonic Hall. Alison Scott Muni, introduced Genesis. Opening was Sandy Denny. Sadly they're all gone now, but the great musical legacy lives on for generations.
The late, great Allison Steele - The NightBird of WNEW-FM in NYC - played this often. I called her and we spoke about the song. She was a pioneer of progressive rock and is greatly missed by those of us who were so well kept by her company over the airwaves 50 years ago. How has the time gone....Bob Bruno and Jerry Jeff Walker - Circus Maximus in 1967....
I haven't heard this song since 1967 & can't believe I still can sing along with it. Me & my kid brother, now a well-renowned & well-respected recording bassist, just loved this song. Thanks for bringing back such a pleasant memory! Much obliged to you & youtube for sharing it with us. Signed - The Hermit formerly from Charm City
I was in prison(drugs) & WBCN radio in Boston played soft soothing & very "hip" music at night. this song helped me get to sleep & relaxed my mind thank you Circus Maximus.
Circus Maximus, Blues Magoos, Colosseum, all jazz oriented. Way ahead of their time. I listened to this on WMMR 93.3 Phila Pa in high school. 1969. Above average then & now!
I can listen to this song from now until my last day on Earth. I always loved this song. So unique. So beautiful. It's like breathing. I'm glad I'm 70 years old. That means I was young when being young was truly a gift. So many of you missed the best time to be alive EVER. So sad for you... Paul Bradford
I remember listening to Alison Steele late at night FM radio ear plug. She played this often. I loved Alison Steele! Then again what 14 to 16 year old boy didn't! That Voice!
Dick Summer on WBZ in Boston played the hell out of this. He had a proto-underground show in 67 when this was released. I was in middle school, and fell asleep with the transistor under my pillow to songs like this.
I always associate this song with WNEW-FM. What a fabulous song. And what fabulous deejays on WNEW-FM back in the day. Pete, Allison, Jonathan, Scott, Jim… good times.

The people today can never imagine what they missed in the 60s. The style, music, films, passion can never compare.

Allison Steele, who knows the wind, thank you for introducing me to enlightening experiences like this..,Rest in Peace...
Did we all have transistor radios in our pillows? And isn't this song timeless and dynamic and gorgeous.....

Music from a time and place none of us will ever experience again. Thankful I was able to experience it.

WNEW still lives in our hearts! My fav DJ was Pete Fornatel! And of course Scott Muni! Who can forget when 10 pm: Toto we're not in Kansas anymore!
That song really captures the spirit of the times.
Wonderful song hard to believe it was written over 50 years ago
An obscure but beautiful song. Maybe in two hundred years it will be discovered. again
