When Strawbs were releasing their album, The Magic Of It All, we heard from our friend Scott Bluebond, that David Cousins was talking about it! Given the chance to delve into their long, storied history, we quickly accepted. It did so well that we re-released it last year. Sadly, we have reason to do so again. This past we we lost the man. Such a sweet guy, and incredible, inspiring talent. Thank you, Dave! For everything; the music, but also for our visit, which we present with love for a man who felt the magic all his days!
