Well, it hasn't always been there in me brains. I heard "Do You Believe in Magic" somewhere around ten thousand times before I found out John Sebastian played an autoharp for the song. Actually I found out during a infomercial for a 60s greatest hits box set. I might have been told prior to that but forgot, and it didn't really sink in till I saw the video.
I knew about Gay Woods through
The Woods Band before I knew she also sang for Steeleye Span. I knew she played autoharp from the liner notes.
You might get a kick out of Courtney's lyrics. I find them humorous. I really like her lyrical style and delivery - it reminds me of someone, but I can't place who. I like her choice in guitars, she is playing a Harmony "Rocket."
Not in the
indie crowd, but I'll share it anyway cause Booker T. is one of my all time favorites. He is known for playing a Hammond B3 and I think NPR did a really good job sound-wise. I think it sounds amazing.
