Crossbones
Wise Man

Album ZM 1976 on Zambezi label
Rock, Folk, World and (Psychedelic Rock)

Who are Crossbones? Well, there’s the Mad Doc who’s guitar never seems to touch down. Then there’s George. His guitar is pink. (He thinks it’s scarlet with pink stripes). Sebby plays the organ. Sounds like a relatively easy job – but you should see the organ, it’s got teeth, not keys! And Joe, well there’s not much I can say about him, he stopped talking the day he picked up his bass guitar. Now it does all the talking for him. He loves big sunglasses. Nicky, apart from singing, buys groceries and loves big hats. The drummer – I can never remember his name (it’s Richard, really) is a quiet guy except that he keeps dropping his cymbals. Violet, we mustn’t forget Violet. She’s got the biggest sense of humour around – and she’s cheeky, too. Well, that’s the Crossbones; and in all seriousness, they’re just great to work with. Snatched from the jaws of death, they were deposited “en masse” on a Teal contract form, a little shaken but not in the least subdued. They picked themselves up and strolled though their surroundings: found the scenery very pleasant. Finally discovered the dotted line and promptly went to sleep. Dreamed up some nice little numbers, too. We hope you enjoy listening to them as much as we enjoyed recording for you. – Nikki
