Silver Laughter 1978 – Paul, Ken, Jon and Mick
This concludes the re-posting of all the songs from both albums. Sometimes there is magic in the studio; like there is fairy in the mixing board. You can hear it in this song when Jon sings the line, “Free with my imagination…” there is a guitar riff that Ken adds and then the “magic echo”.
I am not sure if it was left over from the beginning of the song where it fades in from “Dreams Still Live On”; if someone hit the mixing board at just the right time. But there it is. A sound we could not recreate on stage even if we wanted to!
The 1978 photo from Des Moines shows the musicians who were the lineup on our second album.
