It's the early BIRD  . . . . . . 

THE BYRDS

We loved The Byrds. As soon as we heard that jingle jangle morning music and the covers of Uncle Bobby we knew something was happening . . . . . . .songs like 'Hey Mr Tambourine Man' almost before we hard Bobby's 'version', then 'So You Wanna Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star' mesmerised us. We loved Chris, Gene and Jim then Gram & Clarence and early on we hardly even noticed the departure of some funny looking little guy called David Crosby in '67 we DUG them. 'My Back Pages' shone like another beacon and we wondered if Bobby liked these covers. . . . . . . heck I adored and still rate 'Hickory Wind' by Gram Parson as one of favourite all time songs, we stuck with them until the legendary heavy duty double album 'untitled' superb stuff
