SONS OF MERCURY

As most of you know (who have checked in on my site )you will realize that QMS is one of my favorite bands. I was impressed at an early stage by their first LP. The song The Fool was a song written by Gary Duncan and David Freiberg. It showcased the guitar work of Cipollina and Duncan. Freiberg's bass underlines the whole score.Quicksilver played some incredible music in their early stages and The Fool made a big impact on my delving into the San Francisco music scene. I have chosen to highlight this song on a comp. Versions from an early QMS session to the final release on the first lp( with a few side trips into some live versions)


Can you hear it in the morning, it sings the golden song,
I saw his moving ever on the run, from and to the sound of one
Turning in, turning out, spirals high, never down,
Wonder, wonder wanders, loving, loving lovers,
Freefall, tumbling walls, one world, one one truth,
If if it's above life is low, life is slow,
Love is life, it's love, love
