A collection of photos and avatars snagged from a couple of now-gone message boards which drew together an unlikely group of people. This slideshow is for them, but the song stands on its own merits, one of Roy's best, from the 1970 album "Flat Baroque and Berserk".

***********************************************************

Well, in 2006 there was a live webcam stream from an eagles nest at Hornby Island in Canada, hosted by a company called Infotec. It was a worldwide phenomenon. There was a linked discussion board, and lots of people from all over posted there. The eggs failed to hatch that year but the board continued, and then Infotec became Wavelit and it still continued. The people were an unusual group for a message board, with little in common but the original eagles nest. They became a very dysfunctional family, with much squabbling and acrimony, though it was never dull. Eventually the Wavelit site closed and the members dispersed in cliques to other boards. There was a fin-de-siecle mood in the last week, when I put this montage together. It was kind of sad.

The first photo is Ed Clunn who owned Infotec/Wavelit, and the last one is his son Trevor, who ran the boards. In between are various of the regular contributors.

The eagles nest is still streamed here -

and there is a link to the Hancock discussion board where a number of the people in the montage still sometimes hang out. As I write this in April 2009, there are two eggs waiting to hatch.

takes me back to these times, off the subject, Id like to say how annoying the new recommended for you imposes itself across the bottom of the screen of this video is. I know they read these comments, so lets hope they discontinue it.

Apologies Em for the arrogant comment, now removed. Don't mean to upset anyone or add to the unpleasantness in the world, just sometimes have a kneejerk reaction to what I see as unnecessary nastiness on Youtube, often consisting of name-calling rather then reasoned discussion. Bad day at the office and that, y'know. anyway, won't happen again, keep digging Roy and the other kind people out there. Love and dreams....

Well actually I was replying to an ignorant comment, so my tone can be excused. Roy is one of my favourite writers and I shall continue to enjoy his poetic beauty despite your arrogant statement. Much Love.

thanks passer. this just proves, kind people will always congregate. That's what the powers that be don't want us all to figure out, why would there ever be terrorism if we were kind and empathetic. So i say we all be consciously kind to one another, and lower the vale of unreason on this planet. ! namastai

passer, thx for posting this, I love this song so much. But, it's driving me crazy not knowing who these people are. Please tell the story in the info section. I think if you were honoring these people it would be a great tribute to clue all the viewers into "who these people are"

Hey guys...this is a beautiful song, with special memories for me (and for many other people) why do you have to be so small-minded & racist?!...Chris.x
