@LindaMewhirter You're right. I wish everyone knew this stuff too... I felt so glad when I found Donovan's Music that I recorded a tribute to donovan's music and words... it was home-made, but it's filled with love for music and for donovan's art as well... It's on my channel... if you want to listen to it and download it too! :)
It's funny: some people have asked me my favorite Donovan tunes, and they say "Sunshine Superman" right? Or "Mellow Yellow" right? And I say "no...Roots Of Oak and Rikki Tivvi Tavi...actually
@magicalmysterygirl NO...not one of my favourite albums.......the MOST favourite album. It changed my whole life... brought a new awareness and other side of life.... exceptional. Donovan has maintained his faithall of these years and is still a perfect gentleperson.
One I forgot this song with age but I found it again ! Why It was posted on my birthday! AN today was my grandchild s birthday so prophetic to me thanks for posting this song!
A me piacerebbe risentire la sigla finale, se non sbaglio(o sbaglio?), quell con le parole "è stata un'avventura, non devi aver paura..." ma chi la cantava,e la musica di chi é?
Uno degli sceneggiati più affascinanti della vera RAI... affascinante anche perché alla fine non si riesce a capire una certa cosa... Hai comprato l'ultima serie uscita in edicola?
Si certamente sto facendo tutta la collezione di tutti i sceneggoati Rai e devo dire che sono eccezionali. Magari ci fossero sceneggiati ( oggi si dice fiction) di quel calibro anche oggi!
NOn ci possono essere per la semplicissima ragione che la generazione in grado di recitare, sentire e soprattutto ESSERE in quel modo, si è fatalmente esaurita, negli anni. Poi RAI finta, come la chiamo io, ha cominciato a trascurare le compagnie teatrali, le scuole di recitazione, preferendo reclutare marmaglia da buttare allo sbaraglio nei reality. Triste, vero?
THANK YOU- THERE is someone out there that thinks the same as me. Alas my vinyl was stolen , along with my car back in '73,( I got the car back but obviously the thief was a Donovan fan too as he kept the album.HEY! WHERE were you back then?
Found the CD at JBHIFI so all is forgiven! P.S. What is your fave track? Mine is Celtic Rock or Curry Land.
I know how you feel! I never knew anybody except my one friend who knew this album exists! That sucks that your album was stolen, but I was only 4 years old !! LOL!!! So thats my alibi!!! My fave track is "Roots of oak" ,but the whole album is just perfect.Donovan is a brilliant musician.Cheers :)

Open Road - the little cassette - was my companion in Vietnam in 1971. Helped me cope. Thanks, man!

@Asskicker32294 Well said, Everything from Open Road is a classic-truely Donovan's apex of achievement.

This isn't '"Celtic". Its much older.
Its Druid, people. Spirits. Tree spirts. The moaning/howling//drone at the end is pure genius and the spirit of it all.

Grande sceneggiato Rai! L'ho appena terminato di vedere proprio in questi giorni. E ottima anche l'esecuzione di Donovan.
