@577billbill Thanks, but it is really Schooner Fare who has done well! I am so glad you found this and enjoyed. Please come back for a listen whenever you wish! I have quite a bit more of their music to upload, but it is slow. Check back if you are a fan. There will be more. (I LOVE Mad Jack! Especially since it is more than half true...what a wonderful character!). My best, Moppet (Barbara)
@577billbill Hello. I am just checking my comments since it appears I've missed quite a few. I found this from you & though I've responded I just had to say this is one of the nicest comments I've received and I didn't even let you know! Thank you very much! You have put a smile on my face today!!!! Thanks, Moppet
@Garrettk41 Thank you for your info! It is so good to hear from someone who knows the group. I will change my info & also add this is from a true tale. I am finding many of the groups released cassette tapes & records early, Then the cds later. The cds were not considered re-releases. I will update per your info. I am sorry it got it confused. I want to get the info right to honor the groups. I respect them for themselves and their work. It sounds like you knew Tom. He is missed by many.
@Garrettk41 ...2nd part. He is missed by many who never even knew him! Thanks for all your input. It is appreciated greatly. These guys deserve all the attention possible. I'm adding a link to their site also. Bye for now. Stop by anytime to check it out and keep me straight...My best to you!
@MyMoppet52 Glad to help. I'm a big SF fan. I didn't exactly know Tom per se', but I had talked to him a few times. It sure was devistating when he died. And yes, "Closer to the Wind" was actually their second album, back when Steve had curly black hair. And if you want to learn more about John Percival, there's an article about him on Wikipedia.
@Garrettk41 Thanks a bunch. I've changed stuff around due to your statement and am happy to get it 'right'. I'm glad you took the time to let me know. Stop by and help anytime!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! WELL DONE MyMoppet52!

Yeah, this is one terrific song. I once talked about it to Steve Romanoff, who wrote it. And yes, John Percival was indeed a real person.
This recording comes off of their "Classic Schooner Fare" album. Yes, it was originally on "Closer to the Wind", which was actually released in 1981.
