Cup XXIII: The Green Man Turns Over a New Link

Tea: Green Sencha Overture


Music: Eddie Jobson and Zinc, "Turn it Over"


Time: Late evening


This blog, as you can see by now, is only rarely about tea. Most times, it's about music or mushrooms or mismatched socks, among a host of varied whatnots.


Tonight, it's about both. Well, sort of.


First, it's a plaint that I've never been able to find The Green Album, whence comes tonight's musical selection (located online from a link that no longer goes anywhere) on compact disc. I have it on vinyl, but the living room's cluttered enough that one more piece of stereo equipment would be noticed.


Check that. I have found the album on CD, but at the prohibitive cost of more money than I can justify spending on it. Oh, well. I have this song as an mp3, to tide me over, and two albums' worth of Jobson's progtastic keyboard and electric violin work with UK. That'll get me through, until such time as sufficient finances and aligned bright balls of gas put The Green Album back in my hands.



On to the tea. I was sent this link last night, and ... wow. Yeah, this blog is seriously about tea, and the places which sell and serve it. It's going to be a daily stop and a vicarious pleasure for me, I'm betting.

Tonight's story:
Alexander Harvey, "The Forbidden Floor"
