I still remember spring '78 when I first played Easter. It blew me away, the most amazing thing I'd ever heard. Now, though, I tend to like the 1st two LP's better. I don't know that it's possible to make anything like Horses today. But then again, who could have expected it in 1975 either? Given Patti's Ethiopian enthusiasms, though, I would think that she would have to somehow take account of the current situation. -- Jeff
