Another song mentioned by one of my Zoom Mentoring clients.
I'm playing my 1964 Martin D12-20 rebuilt by Martin in 1998 with a D12-35 trim.
The song was written by Webb in London in the '70s. after a dream.
I grew up near an area called Hounslow Heath, (Heathrow) said to be the most dangerous place in England in the 17th and 18th centuries, with an important road for stagecoaches; Travellers provided rich pickings for highwaymen.
There is an area called "The Mount" said to be where Dick Turpin kept his horses.
The fascinating song is about four incarnations of the same old soul. A great theme.
