reports trickling ( well...more like 'bursting out' to give proper credit) from the other board tell of a song premiered in Germany, with lyrics, called something like 'The hair and the Cup'...anyone know more?...I guess i should slither through the ether to Laufi's board and see what I can learn! By my count, that's at least 4 real songs...not to mention countless instrumentals and leftover collaborations with Ms. Shankar...toward a Tull album....how about it Ian?....I pinky promise to buy it...I mean...how diff is the much discussed threat of downloading compared to impoverished sorts cassette taping new albums in the olden days?

I agree with Steel think the title is "Hare" going by the lyrics when I seen it called "hair in the wine cup" I thought he was writing about a bad experience while having a curry.

Having heard " Hare in a wine cup " a couple of times now, I don't think it's not much of a song to write home about and I agree with maddogfagin on another board, that the use of the accordian is a bit irritating, which is all a bit of a pity when we all crave some new Tull material

Having listened to it a few times it has the feel of a track that could have been on the Nightcap reissue CD and I still reckon that Andy G would have made a better job of the "accordian" bits on the song by using keyboards. While John O'Hara is a good arranger he's not what I would call a rock'n'roll/Tull keyboard player of the old school. I think of all the recent Tull members Andy is missed the most, closely followed by Dave P.

To me Hare is just another one in a long line of its just being a matter of time before I like something about it alot, I hear enough elements, but still only listened to it once. Right now listening to Ahh Burrr Deen from last month on headphones and the band sounds in a word...magnificent. A Change of Horses may now take its place amongst the legends. Eurology and Bouree sound so good, as did Dun Ringill, always just enough different about Bouree to keep me very interested and agape. Nothing is Easy and A New Day break the flow with agressive precision, just one sophisticated fully matured ensemble. I like Ians voice at least as well on those 2 live as I did in 70, likely more.

Seems a good place to ask this question. Back in 2009 The Ian Anderson Band played at Tunbridge Wells and premiered a song called "Child Of My Garden". This is the entry from the Ministry Of Information: 28/9/09 Assembly Hall Tunbridge Wells, UK 'Support': The Fancy Toys, who played within the Tull set. Dun Ringill, March The Mad Scientist, Just Trying To Be, Jack-In-The-Green, Child Of My Garden, Skating Away..., Tugboat Boy (sung by John O'Hara), Fat Man, A Change of Horses, Rocks On The Road - [Interval] - The Fancy Toys set [Who We Really Are¹, For You & Me², Gypsy Eyes³] - Bourée, Mother Goose, Andantino, My God, Aqualung, Locomotive Breath. Despite searching the web etc I can find no info about this song or am I looking in the wrong places. Can anyone help who may have been at that concert or knows someone who was there? Comero weeth
