| Comments: | I was just thinking about this site this morning wondering if it was about 8 years old and low and behold it just turned 9. Time flies. Nearly a decade of having this site and forum for all things Unicorn - Todd you've done a great job. I remember when Todd and I had a brief conversation one day about how there needs to be a Unicorn web site. The next day he called me and sent me the link and asked what I thought! I was duly impressed and still am.
I spent the morning today listening to Unicorn tracks, they never lose their freshness. Ever. I listen to Unicorn more than any other artist. The artistry astounds me more the more I listen. Thanks again Todd and thanks to Pete, Pat, Ken, and all the others that were involved in getting this music recorded in the first place....and especially Pat for keeping the Unicorn archived material safe and sound throughout the decades so that we were all able to benefit in recent years with the releases of the Shed Sessions, The Late acetates, The Anthology, and other goodies... Little did I know ten years ago how much great Unicorn music had yet make it to my ears.... So here's to the 1st 9 years! Let's see what we can accomplish in the next 9! ...perhaps a Unicorn convention! |

| Comments: | Hey Todd,I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you have done to help,not only keep the name of Unicorn alive but spread the word.
One of the luckiest things that ever happened to Unicorn was when you found one of our albums in the $1 bargain bin all those years ago. If you don't soon come over and stay with us I'm gonna come over and getcha.I know whwer your secret cabin is remember !!! |

| Comments: | Congratulations Todd on keeping such a great website going. We all appreciate your dedication and hard work.It is so wonderful to visit the site and enjoy everything.
On a different note, I just want to warn all of my friends, that if you get an email saying you have an email from me on Badoo! Please do not respond! This is some sort of scam, and I have not written to anyone. I also got an email saying I had a message from a friend and when I tried to open the message, there wasn't one. I'm not sure what the scam is, but I know that many of my friends are getting these false messages. Thanks, Sue |

| Comments: | Well Last FM has 14 different artists with the name of Unicorn defined in their database (they run the gamut in styles but tracnce seems to be the most recurring genre). In any event, Last FM is linking the Swedish Unicorn to the Blue Pine Trees album; let's hope they don't send Unicorn's income to Sweden! |

| Comments: | I'm sad to announce the passing of Ricky Hopper.We first met him when he was a plugger at Transatlantic Records back in 1971.He loved Unicorn and our first single 'P.F.Sloane' and really put his heart into plugging it.One of his succeses was getting it played on Alan'Fluff'Freemans 'Pick Of The Pops' on prime time BBC Radio.Fluff even predicted Unicorn had a great future and I nearly bought that house I promised my Mum when I got famous.
Ricky left Transatlantic and we really noticed the difference.In 1972/3 he phoned me up to ask if Unicorn would play at his wedding for free,with the promise that there would be lots of famous people there and that we might benefit from it.We took that with a pinch of salt but figured we owed him a favour.There were several famous people there,one being David Gilmour who was just reaping the success of Dark Side Of The Moon.He had a jam with us at the end and asked me for a phone number.A few days later he phoned me up and offered us some free time in the studio he had just had installed in his Essex home.He went on to produce three albums for us and his manager became our manager too. Ricky was always talking about a young female singer songwriter who was the sister of a friend he went to Cambridge with.He asked David Gilmour to listen to her and David asked Pete Perryer and I to play on her first recording sessions in his home studio.That female singer songwriter was Kate Bush.David Gilmour is always credited with discovering Kate but it was Ricky Hopper. His funeral will be held at Haycombe Cemetary & Cremitorium,Whiteway Road,Bath.BA2 2RQ. on Thursday 25 June at Noon |

| Comments: | I just want to take this opportunity to thank the band for the album Blue Pine Trees. It is still at the top of my list of favorite albums after thirty five years and is simply the greatest country rock album of all time (too bad the world missed it)! You definitely are not forgotten. What are the chances we can get a reunion album from the band?? |

| Comments: | Ah, reading that comment from the last poster makes me happy. With each passing year the legacy of Unicorn will continue to grow and attract more and more fans. Unicorn are positioned to gain a lot of attention and credibility in the next decade, so long overdue. Seems rather silly for me to thank God for giving such a band to us, but that's how important their music has been to me and will certainly continue to be for the rest of my life!

| Comments: | I heard Uphill All the Way for the first time last year and I'm in love. The songs and arrangements are really deeply impressive. Don't Ever Give Up Trying is a really wonderful song.
I suppose it's worth noting that I was able to hear it in the first place by downloading it for free but am still gonna buy the real one... These things work out sometimes... Take care. |

| Comments: | Dancing in t’Street
Some of the more sedentary readers of this list might, like me, have seen in the new year from the sofa while watching the TV. Those doing this in Britain were probably watching the Jools Holland new year show. It is always the best bet. Some of the featured contemporary singers and bands are a bit perplexing but there is always the playing of the first class house band, the Rhythm and Blue Orchestra, to enjoy. The line up for the show always includes a veteran ‘legend’ act and this year it was Martha and the Vandellas. They gave us their biggest hits: Jimmy Mac, Heatwave and, just after midnight, Dancing in the Street. I wonder if I was the only one to mentally substitute the northern English locations of Accrington Stanley and Crewe for two of the American cities from Martha’s version. Pete invariably made this change when he sang the song in the days of the Late and Late Edition. (I particularly remember him doing so on a gig in Romford. The show had several bands of a similar status performing on a notably wide stage. It may also have been the occasion of a fan club coach trip organised by Mr Martin and there may have been a second show somewhere else that evening but I cannot now be sure.) It was a daft joke but a good one and remembering it gave me the first laugh of 2009. Happy New Year Norman |

I think of you all the time and have such fantastic memories of things we shared. You always could make me laugh so hard. It's been a hard year for me medically, but I know that you were keeping me safe through all the surgery and I thank you for being my guardian angel. I know it was you that helped me come through it all. I love you so much Pete, I just wish we could chat one more time. Keep smiling Pete, lots of love Your sweet sister Sue. |

| Comments: | Hello all !!! Thanks for your testimony Brian. Yes Pete was an open book. He was always an extrovert but when he became a Christian in 1990 he was ......well as you can see from the photographs, just about the most alive person you ever did see !
I love the fact that someone enjoys the humour of a song like Lenny Dee(thanks Dave). I was speaking to Alec on the phone recently and we got talking about Bullseye Bill. That's another joke that passed for a song. Drop by again soon Ken. |

It was a wonderful suprise to see all the new guestbook entries since my last visit. Thanks to everyone who has visited & signed. I was lucky enough to meet Pete during my 2002 visit & hear the band play together for possibly the last time. Even the Pink Bear was there! I remember Pete as always smiling whenever I saw him. I have fond memories of an afternoon spent at Pete's apartment drinking tea & listening to music. It was clear to see why Pete is loved & missed by so many.  |

| Comments: | I only met Pete Perryer twice, once at a Pat Martin gig at the 'Three Lions' in Godalming and again at the first Unicorn Reunion. He was a completely open book, his smile and his faith radiated like a beacon. There was something about him that made me feel as though I'd known him for ages.
In a way, I had. When I was remastering the Shed Sessions I was listening to every detail of every track of 40+ songs over and over again. I knew I was listening to a master class in drumming, bass playing and song-writing, and a pretty stunning guitarist as well. One of the things I had to do was erase tape noise, burps, farts, laughter (well, nearly all the laughter), mic stands being kicked, raucous remarks - and Pete Perryer's hand-claps on the backing vocals overdub tracks. Pete REALLY enjoyed doing backing vocals - I guess he could savour singing without part of his brain having to do drums too. I erased several hundred of these whilst cleaning up the recordings, and I knew the sound of Pete's hand-claps. In fact, I knew what they looked like too, in my sound editing software. Pat invited me to the Three Lions gig and told me that Pete might turn up. There was quite a crowd and after the fourth number, in the middle of some enthusiastic applause, I heard THAT hand-clap. I 'homed in' on Pete and he laughed when I told him how I knew he'd arrived. He bought me a beer too, but that's not why I think he was one of the nicest people I've ever met, and one of the most talented. Rock on Pete, wherever you are. When I get 'there' too, will you show me how you got that groove in 'Sitting In Line'? I'll get you a beer. |

Always thinking about you and telling all those great stories about you.I'm still playing that bass and I've played with some real good drummers but none give me that buzz I always got playing with you.I wish I hadn't taken it for granted how fantastic a singer you were too,I just expected everyone to sing with so much feeling,boy did I get a shock.I'm so glad we've got the Unicorn CD's to listen to and remind us of how wonderful a drummer,singer and person you were.Who'd have thought that Wharf Lane,Send would provide such a good rhythm section ? maybe it was something to do with those throbbing diesel trucks going to and from Wintons yard. |

| Comments: | Well it's just a couple more hours to the 6th September and the day my world fell apart hearing the news from Ken that my wonderful hero of a brother Pete had died. I still just can't believe you are no longer here with us Pete, I listen to your beautiful voice and see your smiling face in my mind. I just miss you so very much, at times the pain is so hard to endure, but then I thank God that I have your voice forever to listen to and think how fortunate we all are to hear the wonderful music of Unicorn. Today I sat in my little wood and looked at the tree that Pete loved so much when he came to Texas, and I could feel you looking down and smiling. I love you so much Pete and miss you so! |

Still feels so bad about Pete not being here & what he could be singing - thank goodness we have him on recordings forever. We will always love you Pete - I hope he knows that We would also like to say how much we love 'Lenny Dee' on the Anthology & especially knowing the story behind the song !!& probably being there ! |

| Comments: | Hey Everyone,
I was listening to Unicorn last night on my evening commute out of the New York City concrete jungle. For some reason it was "Lenny Dee" and "The Sweeter Life" that I just could not stop playing over and over for the entire hour long journey. The latter is just such a beautiful tune in every way. It's so ..unicorn. "Lenny Dee" just cracks me up and I love the way that it's sung. The music is so serious and dark yet knowing the story behind the song I can't help but cracking up every time I hear it. "Their faces turned to me, twisted in agony!" ..... "No one even mentioned Lenny Deeeee!" Such great stuff. I could just see Ken (Ken, correct me if I'm wrong) being turned off by the bandwagon nature of group adulation and really imposing the music of Lenny Dee onto a crowd of hipsters. I know the feeling. I was often apt to insert a Carpenters tune in the midst of a set of party music when I used to DJ. But hey, I love the Carpenters so why not? You'd actually be surprised how well "Superstar" works in that situation! At least it forces people to pay attention! Anyway, I do thank God for the music of Unicorn. Listening now to The Late. Anyone reading this and remotely interested in Unicorn should get this new release. "Working Man" is a 60's CLASSIC. Best to All Reading! Dave |

Stuart Mathis ? I remember, up at the top of the school field, Stuart and Trevor Grossmith beat me up. I tell you ! they were just lucky I wasn't in one of my aggressive moods. Now there's memories and then there's memories. But the records show I took the blows and did it my way !!!!!! Ken |

| Comments: | Sue,
Are you Pete Perryer's sister?? I'm amazed 'bout the merging of true and perfect feelings of "brother and sister". I have found in many places, brothers and sisters competing between themselves.It's a process for most of us, and it can be pretty excruciating. By being vocal and supportive about Pete,everything you've said about him done nothing so much as emphasize how much you loved him. There is no cure for love lost, but what he left behind is his gift to you and to us. Bless you! Luis |

Intuitively,Pat knew how to bring out the best in this tune with his impressive gloomy bass lines,that amazingly captured the song's restless atmosphere,that might be called a point of impasse... Great achievement!...to state the obvious...need I say more?? Love and respect, Luis |

| Comments: | I first heard of Unicorn in 74/75 - my brother had seen them supporting someone, and had bought Blue Pine Trees. I went on to get Two Many Crooks and One More Tomorrow - I'm delighted to find from this site I can now upgrade my battered vinyl copies to CD!
I saw them live twice - as support to Dr Hook in 1975 at the then Hammersmith Odeon, and again in 1976 supporting the Groundhogs at the Marquee. On both those occasions it was Unicorn, not the headliners who I wanted to see. From time to time I've done web searches to try and find out more about Unicorn - until today this site has eluded me. Thanks to all who've been involved in putting it together. Unicorn for me are one of the "lost bands" of the 70s - so glad that their legacy has been captured on this site - so sad that Pete Perryer no longer with us. Thank you! |

| Comments: | I can't believe it is two years already that I lost my hero, my brother Pete. His voice lives on in all the wonderful Unicorn music. I miss him so much, there's not a day goes by without me thinking of him. He lifted my spirits when they were at the lowest. He brought us all a friend so rare. Today another great voice has been lost, that of Lucianno Pavarotti. I think he will be in great company when he arrives in Heaven! I love you Pete, your sister Sue. |

| Comments: | Was listening to Unicorn on my iPod this morning on my bus ride into NYC on my way to work. Just shuffling thru tracks and thinking how amazing this band is. While listening, I had the idea that I (or someone) should write a book on the band. I think the story is a fascinating one and also a book would shed some attention on them and help people discover them. Then there is the reality of someone to publish and publicize the book which I am sure can be done if the right contacts were set in place. What do you all think? Would people read it? |

| Comments: | Hello there to all the Unicorn fans. I finally managed to put all my Unicorn cds onto my ipod. I put it on shuffle and every night I go to sleep listening to all the wonderful songs. I can't decide which is my favourite album, I have a love of them all, although the hymn, 'I'll believe in you 'is one of the most special to me. Can't wait to hear Ken's new songs. Had been hoping to come to England this year, but my health hasn't been co-operating with me. Maybe next year will be better. Best wishes to Ken, Pat and Jill, Shirley,Dave Di Sanzo, Todd, Jon and all the people that love Unicorn. Pete, I still miss you so very much, and I think about you every day. Just wish we had one more time to speak together, I feel so lost at times without you, you are forever in my heart. love Sue |

However, I’m with you Dave, reckon ‘Too Many Crooks’ remains my favourite album of the 70s….but then also have a very soft spot for ‘Uphill All the Way’…aw but then just love some of the tracks on ‘Blue Pine Trees’ …aw, who started this!
Big HELLO to Todd and all fellow Unicorn fans… Keep listening and enjoy! Love Jillxx |

| Comments: | Thanks for your time and effort to create this great web site. I have been a fan since Blue Pine Trees released when I lived in Florida, and have looked for this music on CD for years. I never had the opportunity to see the band live, but WOW- what great sounds. Downloading it to my iPod will bring back many great memories, and I am amazed at how timeless the music remains. The history of the band was well written, and very interesting, and I wanted you to know that your efforts are well received in Dallas, Texas! Best wishes to the band, and to the web site administrator... Gregg |

I would always phone him and sing Happy Birthday in a funny voice, and he would just crack up laughing. It doesn't seem to get any easier as yet to come to terms with your passing. Pete I love you so very much and wish I could have more time to be with you. You are forever in my heart and I think of you constantly. Your sister Sue misses you so very much. |

| Comments: | I was hooked the day I heard the Slow Dancing single playing in Listen Records store in Byres Road, Glasgow nearly 30 years ago. I was amazed cos I was into Floyd, Led Zeppelin etc and it was a heavy rock store. But there it was playing away in the background. I had'nt heard that style of music before and it was captivating. I play it nearly every day. I burned it to CD to preserve it. My album went walkabout during a house flit some years ago so I am going to avail myself of the CD's and reminisce........... |

| Comments: | How wonderful to read about the band! I bought all 3 albums, and while I lived in the North east I once lent them to a presenter on the new Metro radio, who played them on his Sunday afternoon show. By way of a "thank-you" he sent me two debut albums by artistes he described as "ones to watch out for". Joan Armatrading and Billy Joel, no less!
As well as enjoying the albums at home, I often play tracks on my Friday night Album Show on a Leeds hospital radio station. Francis |

| Comments: | Well I just can't believe a year has passed since I lost my true hero, my dear brother Pete. I still can't quite believe you are no longer here with us, but I have to believe that you singing away in heaven and playing your drums as loudly as you want. I feel so lonely without your kind voice encouraging me to be strong at times when things aren't so great. I thank Pat, and Ken for giving me the songs that Pete wrote and I listen to them often. Unicorn are in my mind the greatest group ever and I am so thankful to have all their music here in Texas, I can get lost in the music for a while and think of all those good times we had in England. Going to all the gigs was such a high for me. I am so thankful that I could be a part of that. Thanks Pat for phoning me today on the anniversary of Pete's passing, it meant such a great deal. Also Dave Di Sanzo phoned and it really does mean such a lot to know how fondly Pete is missed. I just wish I could have one more hug from you Pete and hear your encouraging words that everything will be okay. You are forever in my heart, from your sweet sister Sue. |

It's been too long since I saw anyone from those distant days so I'm hoping to meet some faces at The Duke on the first. I'm really sad to hear about Pete, I only found out a few weeks ago via these messages. He was a good guy! I last saw him ten years ago playing guitar and singing in Ripley. I didn't know he could do that! Paul |

| Comments: | I bought "Blue Pine Trees" in 1974-75 mostly because I liked the cover. I listened to it alot early on but like so many other albums in my collection it kind of got lost. Anyway, I was going through my old LPs and found it. I decided to play it for old times sake. The songs are just as fresh today as they were 32 years ago. I regret that I did not follow the band more closely after my initial discovery. Thanks for the site. |

| Comments: | Phil, don't be jealous...I've been chattin' online with Pat Martin on a regular basis too, and I have to say that he's really a wonderful person.Answering questions candidly,often with a—intentional or not—humoristic English tone. At no time his sentences sounded like boasting, set the world on fire, or meant in any way to represent the actions, based on the public personna or image of the celebrity.I’m amazed at how unusual is this amongst famous people.
You're right Phil, No one can't deny the fact that Pat is an outstanding bass player, I am always moved by his profound music expressiveness. Also, it kills me that not only is Ken Baker one of the most wittiest underappreciated song writers of all, but he's also from one of the most underappreciated bands.... Take care, Luis. |

Not to mention that I've been talking to Pat from the band on a regular basis, and he's one of the nicest people I've ever talked with, and an amazing bass player as well. It's shame that more people don't know Unicorn's music because I feel if people were exposed to it, they would like it. Anyone I've let listen to them, loves them. |

| Comments: | Hello,
There are some songs that remain in your head for centuries it seems, and Too Many Crooks is one of those songs. I won the LP on a local radio show, and almost threw it away but as I listened I was mesmerized. Ok, Dave Gilmore's name was a reason for playing it but thats not why I love it. The record long gone, and only by chance someone said something about a unicorn today and got me thinking about the song......... I'm 45 now but that one song takes me back to my best years and I am so happy to be able to hear it again thanks to your site....thank you Ben |

| Comments: | Hello everyone,
Here I am sitting in here thinking about life and stuff pondering over thoughts and one I take comfort in is the time I spent with my uncle Peter, or uncle Pedro as he later became to me and my dad. You see, I'm Pete's sister Janice's son. Sadley she died in 1986 .... at the time as you can imagine it was hard to take as a seven year old boy. My uncle Peter was a support and comfort to me like no other, a great frend .... As the years went by up till I was around 14 I like to think I was there for him ....but I seem to have been swallowed up by time since those days we sort of lost touch, for what seems an eternity of memories, but my memories of Pete they stay strong, in my heart and that is tribute to him. I'd like to thank Todd.......... We did meet at the funeral dude,but it was before I was aware of the site !!! SO A VERY BIG THANKYOU.... for your amazing site... Kieran |

| Comments: | I have just recently discovered this website with a mix of great pleasure and excitment and also some sadness - with the recent news of Peter Perryer.
I first heard Blue Pine Trees in '74 when I was 15. I had an older brother who worked in a hi-fi shop and introduced me to a whole lot of great music that I would never have discovered myself. Unicorn stood out for me alongside the other greats - Eagles and Steely Dan. Years later I was able to replace cassettes/LPs of those two bands with crisp, clear CDs. But my literally worn out Unicorn tape couldn't be replaced - no music shop had ever heard of the band or could find them in any back catalogues. The Blue Pine Trees and Too Many Crooks albums have haunted me for the last ten years as I feared I would never hear them again. Imagine my joy at finding through this site that the music still lives on - even better than before (actually my partner found it after I'd been going on about this fabulous band she'd never heard of!). You can probably understand how much of an impact the two albums had on an adolescent - music and other influences stay with you all your life don't they? Anyway, they say you can't go back but to an extent you can - I feel so much younger again hearing Unicorn even better than I remember. I'll raise a glass to the band and all it's loyal fans....'til all the grapes are gone. Vincent - a re-born fan. |

| Comments: | I would like to say a big thank you to Todd and Pat for their correspondence over my re-discovery of the band. I would like to comment that after 30 years, the music sounds as good now as it did then. One More Tomorrow remains my favourite track but I am looking forward to receiving Shed No Tear.
God bless Pete. I've written to Bob Harris to try and get a track played in November as a tribute to his memory in particular. Take care all, Steve |

| Comments: | Just a few words to add to the feelings of all who ever knew Pete - he was as lovely a person as you would ever meet and an absolute treasure as a friend. And very patient, putting up with my silly banter with a serene smile. Probably needless to say, he was a terrific singer and drummer. |

| Comments: | Pete's voice is booming out of the speakers in my sun room and I still can't quite believe that I can't phone him any more and hear his voice. My Birthday's coming up this week and usually Pete would sing Happy Birthday to me and make me laugh. He was always my idol growing up, and I just wasn't ready for him to be taken quite yet. I have to believe that he's singing away again,chatting up all the pretty angels and making everyone feel at ease, with his wonderful smile lighting up the room. I would like to thank all the good friends and family that came to the funeral, it really was an incredible day that poured forth love from all walks of life. Pete had touched so many lives and he will live always in my heart. I miss you Pete so very much, it's going to take a very long time for the pain to ease up. I think of you all the time and I listen to your wonderful music every day. All my love, Sister Sue xxx |

I particularly remember how genuinely pleased Pete always was whenever we met, such an amazing smile - so much enthusiasm. This of course showed through in his singing - always from the heart. Pete's wonderful voice will stay in my memory for ever.
Thanks Pete for helping to create my love of music. Shall always love you Pete, Jill XXX |

| Comments: | To Pete Perryer,my friend since 1950.
Where the hell am I going to find a drummer who knows what I'm going to play on my bass before I do ? Where am I going to find a drummer who doesn't need two sticks to play 16's on the hi hat and can sing with all his heart and soul at the same time ? Where is Ken going to find someone who can sing his songs with as much thought,love and enthusiasm as if you wrote them yourself ? I definitely ain't going to find someone who can make me laugh until my body aches like you could. I'll never find someone who can't tell a lie or even exaggerate. Pete,you had more talent in your little finger than I have in my entire body.This is the end of a bloody good rhythm section that played together for the best part of fifteen years. Thank God we have some of that talent captured on CD for ever,so that we can keep reminding ourselves how special you were. You sure you're alright with just three quarters of that seat Pete !!!! Peace and love. There's no mine,there's no yours................'ere who knicked me bike ? The boys from Wharf Lane did good. Pat Martin. Proud to have been the bassist in Unicorn. |

I've heard so many stories of your kindness and humor, as well as quite a few tales of adventure (and misadventure!) from Pat, that I almost feel I'd known you. That probably also comes from having your voice running through my head for the last 30 years. And I know it'll be there for the next 30 as well. Peace be with you. |

| Comments: | Thank you for e-mailing me regarding Pete's death. Truly this is loss to all those who knew Unicorn. It's nice seeing the pictures of the guys as they first started and their "grown up" stages. We have their music to listen to for a very long time. I for one will always remember him. |

| Comments: | I am deeply saddened to report that on Sept. 6th, 2005 Unicorn's lead singer and drummer Pete Perryer passed away.
I feel extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet Peter and hear him sing during a visit in March of 2002. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him. |

| Comments: | Hey Pat-greetings from India! I'm on business in Bombay (still live in South Africa and work in the travel industry) but was bored on a Saturday night (had too many curries on this trip already!) so thought I'd surf the net and look up your bands.
When I was resident in the UK, up to '82, was in Acton based band "Heroes" (with Pete Townshend's younger brother Paul on guitar) and found an old tape the other evening in some packing cases-not bad after about 30 years! Very Clash, but that was the thing at the time,wasn't it? Speak soon, Best wishes always, Ed (ex West Byfleet School) |

| Comments: | I bought what was known as "Unicorn 2" in the states in 1976. In the UK, I understand it was called "Too Many Crooks". I especially liked the songs "He's Got Pride" and "Keep On Going" where the former reminded me of the Stones in a country groove (Dead Flowers, Honky Tonk Women, et.al.) and the latter had that guitar hook that sort of sounded like Memphis soul meets LA country rock. I later bought "Blue Pine Trees" and "one More Tomorrow", but "2" is my favorite of the three. I've only heard snippets of "Uphill All The Way", which I may order some day. Your greatest hits compilation would have been better if you included "Keep On Going". I wish my radio station (WXRT in Chicago) would play your version "There's No Way Out Of Here" or at least acknowledge the original performer and writer when they play David Gilmour's version. |
