      His web is cozy m.
      The Altamont pass breaking station in both directions.
      Many gather there unaware.
      Then when the greatest game begins.
      Those hill create echoes, sound bouncing off deep creekbeds.
      Nighttime is much more fun.
      Stipulations.
      Compilations enhance sensations.

    When I was a kid, I had NO IDEA what Donavan was talking about. Hurdy Gurdy Man? Now I absolutely love the Hurdy Gurdy .. an ancient instrument with a hypnotic, haunting, droning sound. Part violin, part keyboard, it can sound almost electronic without amplification or distortion. Like the electric guitar in the rock'n roll era, Hurdy Gurdies were associated in Medieval times with debauchery, such as in Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights. There are some amazing Gurdy players on TH-cam.

    Love that searing lead guitar that keeps threatening to pounce all over the song! The best song Donovan ever released. The tremelo in his voice kicks this into another dimension. The guitar solo just before the end lofts it into the stratosphere like a rock ',n roll hurricane. Crazy good!

Finally got to see him live in the late 80’s in a huge bar in Toronto, Rock and Roll Heaven … had to be Heaven, after all! It was Donovan! Took several photos during his performance.

This song makes me think of a time when things were a lot different in the world. Even when I was a still a teenager/ young man, people were a lot different. This a masterpiece.
