Bill Bruford Retires from live play....

[wayang]

Check out what I found...this is one of my very favorite tunes. The fact that it was written by a drummer is just the greatest, and something I like to throw back in anyone's face who gets a little too much pleasure out of telling 'drummer jokes'..."What do you call a guy who hangs out with musicians?" Get bent, sez I...

Add to it the fact that he wrote it for inclusion on an album featuring a band he was the leader of, and didn't play on it!! Is there a more restrained ego in all of 'Western' music? Can't think of one...(okay, maybe Leo Kottke)...

Here it is, rendered by a wonderful guitarist who goes by quepasa, the loveliest tune a drummer ever wrote: Palewell Park...
