I'm Listening To Things Of Stone And Wood

It Is What I Am Doing At The Moment

Things of Stone And Wood

Introduction

Comprising of Greg Arnold (vocals and guitar), Michael Allen (bass), Tony Floyd (drums) and Justin Brady (violin, harmonica and guitar), Things of Stone and Wood released their first album, The Yearning, in 1993. The album was greeted enthusiastically by the public and critics alike, in no small part due to Arnold's strong songwriting. "Happy Birthday Helen," taken from this album, became the first of the band's Australian hits.

I was listening to "The Yearning" and thought "I'm Listening To Things Of Stone And Wood" and thought what a great title for a poem. The album has been played three times today and may accompany me on my journey to Scotland.

There's a lot of their music on YouTube and I will include my favourite song of their's at the end of this poem.
