Bermudapilot, the Alegri and the Faure and sublime. I count myself lucky to have performed them.
Who do you have doing them.

Don't know Nick Drake.

Bermudapilot - absolutely, "The River Man". Thanks for posting that. Great string arrangements on this and other tracks of this recording.

e - if you aren't familiar with Nick Drake, you are in for a treat (I hope). He's dead but his music lives on (to use a cliche). The River Man is on a recording called, Five Leaves Left. Hope you will check him out.
