We hear the brilliant introduction of the album Scheherazade And Other Stories, the ’70s progressive group magnum opus.

❝ I took a trip down to look at the fair
When I arrived, I found nobody there
It seemed I was all alone
Must be that they’ve all gone home
A trip to the fair, but nobody was there
A trip to the fair, but nobody was there
Voices of yesterday make not a sound
Even the roundabout stopped going ’round
I wonder just what it means
Is everything how it seems?
A trip to the fair, but nobody was there
A trip to the fair, but nobody was there
A creak as the dodgems came onto the scene
Wheels began turning, I started to scream
A carousel swung around
My head spun and hit the ground
A trip to the fair, but nobody was there
A trip to the fair, but nobody was there
I close my eyes to disguise the fear from inside
Trembling within my own mind, I find no place to hide
Stars of tomorrow shine through the gray mist that has gone
I wish that this trip to the fair had never begun
Suddenly, thousands of faces I see
Everyone seemed to be staring at me
Clowns laughed in the penny arcade
What was this game my mind played?
I took a trip down to look at the fair
When I arrived, I found nobody there
It seemed I was all alone
Must be that they’ve all gone home
A trip to the fair, but nobody was there, but nobody was there…
A trip to the fair, but nobody was there, but nobody was there… ❞

* For my friends who didn’t know, or first timers here, Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
