This came up on a random selection on iTunes. I haven’t listened to it in a long time and I forgot how gorgeous it was. https://youtu.be/T3tO37SC60I
Leonard Cohen song ?

I haven’t really heard of these guys before. But that’s a cool song. I couldn’t quite work out if it was English or US psychedelia. Made sense since they were Canadian.
I remember that, Kev. A pity they don't sound like they once did.And I fully agree with you about Dan Peek... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRDnEqW1vAc
This is what happens when people who should know better make statements without conclusive evidence. In a nutshell, a press officer from the International Slavery Museum in Liverpool speculated in 2006 that Penny Lane was “probably” named after prominent slave trader James Penny. From what I’ve read they have never proven this as fact but do have a display that includes that hypothesis. Research has been conducted by other historians who feel it is not true. I’m eager to read the blog post linked below. It’s from a history blog about the Cast Iron Shore (yeah). I can’t figure out the author’s background because he uses a pseudonym but he has a lot of documentation in the post and claims it disproves any link to the slave trader. https://theprioryandthecastironshore.wordpress.com/2018/10/24/was-penny-lane-really-named-after-the-slave-merchant-james-penny/]Was Penny Lane really named after the slave merchant James Penny?[/url]
Yes. There’s no real evidence that it’s named for him. And good evidence against. I’m sure IQs have dropped recently or something.
