Your loss. Stick to jigs. not really, i saw them(east of eden) once and they were desperately awful, but as i said tried to rescue the gig with Jig a jig. it didnt work theres much more to life than jigs and im not sticking to anything Was that in the 1970s? I don't really like that old stuff much, but the jazz stuff they did more recently was good. Ji |

early 70's
when Dave Arbus finally hit paydirt with "Baba O' Reilly" he left and i believe Joe O'Donnell joined them but they just disappeared off the radar
not that i was desperate to know what they were up to

Just noticed the rotten title of this thread.
For the record:
Ric is not soft. And neither is his sanding machine.
Now carry on.

According to my book 1970s music, they did albums right up until the late 70s, but with a completely different lineup with no original members! |

I mean - that's quite clearly ridiculous isn't it...bands with no original members masquerading as the original artists. Certainly wouldn't happen round these folk-rock parts now would it?  |

Hello buddies -not wanting to start up a heated debate on the pros and cons of Rics jazz/folk fiddling again but just thought it was relevant and of interest to mention the book that I was given on the 25th Dec as a reward for eating my greens for the whole of 2006. It is a fantastic biography of the Soft Machine written by Graham Bennett called "Out-Bloody-Rageous" that traces the history of the Soft Machine from the early beginnings until its demise in 1984. It includes several interesting pages on a certain Mr Ric Saunder's time in the band. A publication of immense interest to Soft Machine fans.

"Ric Saunders" is a well known typing error often found in postings by hyperopic individuals with dyslexia posting messages after 12:52:am.  |
