I really appreciate your continuing contributions to this thread, Nea, which is why I'm sorry to say that "Hummingbird" doesn't do much for me. The studio version is pretty decent - nice acoustic guitar in the intro, and I like the way the tempo picks up for the first, "Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away" But after that initial surprise, the song doesn't seem to go anywhere.

Anyway, feel free to be as rude as you like about this one:-



Dr Strangely Strange are rather second-tier progfolkers, making only a few albums that met with mixed reviews. Heavy Petting, for instance, with its Roger Dean cover, is described by most internet sites as having just the one worthwhile track, which I am posting here for the kind attention of you and other MBers. ( The guitar solo in the middle is by Gary Moore, aged 17.)
