This is one of those rare, magical albums that lifts my soul up to the heavens and never gets old. The first time I heard this I was mesmerized. Just simply transcendent. 'Icarus", "The Dragon Doesn't Live Here Anymore", "Minuit"…………Thank you Mr. Winter.
"Sometimes I go about pitying myself, and all the while I am being carried across the sky by beautiful clouds." Ojibway proverb To know the heart I find in these words, and to understand the spirit I see written in them is my blessing. Will

Look, only one other comment. This Tune, Icarus, off of that Common Ground album OH the memories. Priceless hidden secret. Great post.
Pure magic
By Ralph Towner, Icarus 1972. The hymn of my life.
thanks!!
I don't think this is the original version. Somewhere I still have my vinyl album but, I no longer have a turntable.
I also know another version of this. It has a faster tempo and a tighter ensemble. This is a slow Bossa Nova beat.
