Re: (TV) a true classic though def.not"british"....

    Back to the original comment about Van Morrison's music being akin to
Elevator music. Astral Weeks being played in an elevator would be one hell
of a ride, one that I'd take any time. Steely Dan I can understand, but Van,
-like Dylan, Lou Reed, & Tim Buckley-is about emotions. He/they have nothing
to do with studio technique. If TB Sheets(the song) doesn't send shivers
down yer spine you might wanna have your pulse checked out. M T C
