4. Talkin' about these guys?

I found this while looking for the lyrics

I saw them last at the Boston Garden in 197?. It was one of their last tours together as Traffic. I know it was on a Friday the 13th... long story could be a book. It was good concert, worth all we went through to get there from 'shua, cow hampshire.

5. huh....you have all kinds of interesting stories!

Actually, this is a superb video of Traffic, at the time. . Very Canteen-like. Chris Wood was an awesome flutist.

Without question.

I'll tell you the story later, kind of epic tale... and funny.
