about

This is a surreal introduction to the song, "The Diamond", and though the introduction survived, alas, the song was doomed, due to the singer's curse, "the giggles". We couldn't sing the song because we were laughing so much and this from a group which never went near drugs. It happens, and when it does, it's great fun but totally unproductive. Personally speaking, I'm a great fan of the giggles on stage, childish but therapeutic.

Group plus audience plus the bass player, Dave Moses, shouting, "Ain't that the truth?". A Bishop and actress were also involved.....and a whale.
