Wayfarer Group: Members Posts: 308 Joined: June 2002 Posted: April 13 2006, 12:22 This song was first printed in England in 1611 under the title: "A Most Strange Weddinge Of The Froge And The Mouse."

hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: April 13 2006, 21:06 I don't think of it as a Mike song... more like a song he covered. I heard other versions of "Froggy" long before I ever heard Oldfield's, and even long before he ever recorded it. The same goes for "Sailor's Hornpipe" and "I Got Music". -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

It is traditional, but we know that mike have a important place here, and it will be funny to hear a new version of it. -------------- Mike Oldfield M i x e s https://soundcloud.com/tubularman Back to top

Bill Bobaggins Group: Members Posts: 477 Joined: June 2005 Posted: April 15 2006, 11:21 Sorry, I've never much cared for Bruce.  I listened to this and once is enough.  I guess that for what it is, it's okay, but I have no desire to ever listen a second time. Years ago, a good friend of mine, who was the ultimate Bruce fan made a bet with me.  He said that if only I would go to a Bruce concert and watch him live, I would change my mind.  I consented, but only if he would go to a Todd Rundgren concert with me (at the time, and still today, right up there with MO).  Well we went to both.  He fell in love with Todd and his music.  I was bored at the Bruce concert.  Watching Nils Lofgren was the highlight of the show for me - especially when he would jump on the trampoline. -------------- Speak friend and enter.
