'And the night is so black, that the darkness cooks'...

The baby likes the song Green Manalishi. lol
Should I be concerned?

Those lyrics are awesome, burned an imprint right into my brain. (Even though it wouldnt technically be that dark if there was a full moon)

I knew of that song for EVER. But I never listened to it till a couple of days ago.
Started with the Judas Priest version, then went to Peter Greens version.
Now I'm obsessed with it.

And the baby boy loves Hendrix 'All along the watchtower' (studio version).
He will stop whatever he's doing when i play it and just zone out and listen.

He tries to yell 'ya ya ya's to Green Manalishi.

That's so cute Zip. My infant daughter used to cry whenever "Love Is A Battlefield" by Pat Benatar came on the radio. Years later I asked her why, and she said "because that song is so sad!"

The best version of Green Manalishi is Fleetwood Mac's (with Green on guitar of course). The version on Green's anthology is just a demo and poorly mixed.

Is this the demo or the full Fleetwood version?

I like this one.
I heard a different version that sounded like it was in a different key.

That's the full Mac version. The demo has no leads or vocal ad libs at the end.
