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?
