Wee Warning... I forgot to mention there are a couple of musical um, breaks in this song, the second one being 1.50? seconds? Long enough for you to record a wee song, the whole track is over 6 mins... so if you feel the urge to fast forward, we'll forgive you! ;D

Trivia:

From Wiki: "...It's a Beautiful Day was a band formed in San Francisco in 1967, the brainchild of violinist and vocalist David LaFlamme. LaFlamme, a former soloist with the Utah Symphony Orchestra, had previously been in the band Orkustra, and unusually, played a five-string violin. The other members were his wife Linda (keyboards), Pattie Santos (vocals), Hal Wagenet (guitar), Mitchell Holman (bass) and Val Fuentes (drums). Although they were one of the earliest and most important San Francisco bands to emerge from the Summer of Love, It’s a Beautiful Day never quite achieved the success of their contemporaries such as The Grateful Dead and Santana, with whom they had connections. It’s A Beautiful Day created a unique blend of rock, jazz, folk, classical and world beat styles during the seven years the band was officially together.

The band's debut album, It's a Beautiful Day, released in 1969, featured the tracks "White Bird", "Hot Summer Day" and "Time Is". The vocals and violin playing of David LaFlamme plus Pattie Santos' singing attracted attention including FM radio play, and nationally, "White Bird" bubbled under Billboard's Hot 100 chart peaking at #118...."

"...It's a Beautiful Day (1969) US Album Chart No. 47/UK Album Chart No. 58, 1970..."

trippy and groovy, wonderful sounding duet, too bad they don't have Some Velvet Morning, the Nancy Sinatra / Lee Greenwood psych number, that would be so cool for the two of you to do

Thank you everyone for your very lovely comments, especially your last one Marigot, it means a lot to me... but please, to me it's Bruce who makes this song. I knew he'd sound great singing this and he does ;-) I only wish I could have got our balance a little bit better... bad soundcard in laptop compromises what I hear with the mixer and volumes get messed up.

One day, we will redo this, when we can get a stereo mix going ... but not for a while (6 MINUTES) grins with gritted teeth! :D
