i'll never know, i'll take your word for it 

Your loss. Stick to jigs.

not really, i saw them(east of eden) once and they were desperately awful, but as i said tried to rescue the gig with Jig a jig.
it didnt work
theres much more to life than jigs and im not sticking to anything

Was that in the 1970s? I don't really like that old stuff much, but the jazz stuff they did more recently was good.

Just noticed the rotten title of this thread.

For the record:

Ric is not soft.  And neither is his sanding machine.

Now carry on.

According to my book 1970s music, they did albums right up until the late 70s, but with a completely different lineup with no original members!

I mean - that's quite clearly ridiculous isn't it...bands with no original members masquerading as the original artists.  Certainly wouldn't happen round these folk-rock parts now would it?   Grin Grin Grin

Hello buddies -not wanting to start up a heated debate on the pros and cons of Rics jazz/folk fiddling again but just thought it was relevant and of interest to mention the book that I was given on the 25th Dec as a reward for eating my greens for the whole of 2006. It is a fantastic biography of the Soft Machine written by Graham Bennett called "Out-Bloody-Rageous" that traces the history of the Soft Machine from the early beginnings until its demise in 1984. It includes several interesting pages on a certain Mr Ric Saunder's time in the band. A publication of immense interest to Soft Machine fans.

"Ric Saunders" is a well known typing error often found  in postings by hyperopic individuals with dyslexia posting messages after 12:52:am. Smiley
