Mythic Times, off our first album, Journey's Edge, 1977.
I decided to put it to some stills and upload it for several reasons. First, it displays a depth of composition/arrangement I think unusual in folk bands at the time. It also pre-shadowed our later work, as we moved away from the more pop sound of the first album. Finally, it is probably the first time wire strung harp (me, Sylvia is on nylon strung) was recorded in North America, possibly the only other recording up to that time after Stivell's ground-breaking Renaissance of the Celtic Harp.
And I must say, after listening to it again after all this time, that Sylvia Woods' harp playing rocks! (We were also undoubtedly the first band to use two harps - Both made by Witcher, This album was recorded about half a year before Caswell Harps was started.)
