The BEST THERE IS! No one is as good as Bert...A Whole Lotta Soul and a great picker as well as song-writer and a great voice as well..We all miss him and LOVED seeing him live here in S.F. at The Great American Music Hall with or without The Pentangle...My only gripe is why don't we get to hear music this lovely and beautiful on regular FM Radio...Neil Young LOVED Bert...Hendrix too...R.I.P. Brilliant Man
Many thanks for this lovely live version, must have lived every word. Nice cover by his son Adam on 'People on the Highway' I think, well worth a listen.
And here are the lyrics God bless! Far sounds of the day So beautiful to hear In the clear bright sunlight they come flooding Crystal clear voices so happy in the street Oh, the new day beginning is on air My restless heart is never still Turning and tossing through the night Thoughts are running wild in confusion People and places are jumble in my mind Oh, the new day beginning is on air Morning brings peace of mind And the birds are singing in the air Gone all the nightmares, they're running And the fear of the darkness has vanished with the light Oh, the new day beginning is on air Yeah, the new day beginning is young and fair
lulubicus lupus Good job. Some minor edits that I think are right: "FIRST sounds of the day" (the day is 'beginning') "The new day beginning is SO NEAR". "Thoughts running wild" (no 'are') "NOW morning brings peace of mind" (after a restless night, a new day allows the narrator to see things afresh) "Gone ARE the nightmares" (sounds like 'are'!)
