Terry Tucker went to London with two girlfriends, Erika Eigen & Freya Hogue, to become a group to perform the songs they were writing. They were discovered almost right away in a working class cafe drinking tea. A man came in a fur coat from a bearby Decca Records studio and wanted to hear their songs. They went to the studio that night and recorded a demo. Two weeks later, Vic Smith became their manager and before long took them to Olympic Sound Studios to record an album. The recorded their one and only album The Sound of Sunforest in 1969. Stanley Kubrick wanted her to record Overture for the Sun for the soundtrack. It got recorded again, Terry wrote some changes in the arrangement for the film. It was exciting. It just fell into their lap. In those days they never tried to make anything happen, just follow their nose and it happened. Overture is instrumental, like a little renaissance piece. Terry wrote and arranged it, played harpsichord on it. Lighthouse Keeper is a song that Erica wrote and Terry sang backup on it and played the piano. Terry stayed in England about 12 years and came home to the US after the band broke up.

Far away and long ago There lived a Mr. Bumble He did fancy little Miss Bee So they courted then agreed to marry On their wedding day The mantis prayed for their good fortune All the ladybirds did sing And the dragonfly did bring them silver The groom wore stripes of black The bride was dressed in blushing yellow And the butterfly ballet Was presented in full living colour So they were wed and the sun did shine And that evening they all did line on pollen They'd been married for ten days

I'm sure it was not twenty Life was full and life was gay They were blessed in everyday with plenty "Bumble dear," said Mrs. Bee "There's something I must tell you Soon you'll hear a tiny buzz You'll be father of a fuzzy baby" Eight days later all was quiet As the kingdom waited Katie did come round to say Bumble Bee has come today, be merry So he was born and the sun did shine And that evening they all did dine on pollen. beautiful songs.

Sunforest must be one of the most underrated bands in history, one of the best too!

The life of a bumble bee is sadly ephemeral, is it not?
