anyone think there's a The Wind In The Willows allusion? It was a popular children's book from the early 1900's? i can't figure out if it's just a coincidence
I'm sure Robt. Hunter was aware of Kenneth Grahame's children's book classic. BTW, for those of you interested in the history of psychedelic and psychedelic-influenced music, Pink Floyd's debut album (1967) was entitled "The Piper At The Gates of Dawn," which is the name of a chapter in "Wind In The Willows."
