I actually like the name Beautiful Pea Green Boat and I do consider
them to be a band capable of total excellence at times.  By no means
is "Still Life" a perfect album, but it's damn amazing in spots.

And, |>oug, I had never heard that poem before you posted it.  But
thanks for doing so!  I would've never realized where the band got its
name from otherwise...  Anybody have the complete text?
