This is my first you tube upload. And my first video. In name only, sorry. There is no video, only music. The album, "Diamond Girl", was released in 1973. I saw them perform in the summer of '73 at Shippensburg University. They were remarkably talented. One of the very best shows I've ever seen. Since those days I've taken up the mandolin and I think this song is one of the reasons why. Nine Houses demonstrates the many talents of the duo; composition, performance, arrangement and production.

Lyrics:

Nine houses that faith built

And all of us, all of us abuse them

Nine houses that faith built

And all of us, all of us must use them

For if we do then

We can make the trees and the hills and rivers wide

Sing with such love and a peace they've never known

I can see - I can feel

I can do a million things in dreams where sense

Is no longer needed

In the wilderness - in the wilderness

I can cross a million streams in dreams where sense

Is no longer needed

Children in cocoons - many colored tunes

Seem t o find their way into a world where sense

Is no longer needed

So there's a lot of sense in livin'

When the world we know starts givin'

We can spread our wings some sunny day

And fly away

But till we all fly together

What sense does it make?

One of my favorite songs too. I saw them at Hershey in '76, 2 very talented and spiritual guys. The 9 houses represent the 9 manifestations of God throughout the ages.

totally agree. I saw them during the same tour at the Hershey arena while living in the Gettysburg area. This has always been just my favorite S&C song.
