Q: How did you come
to do the "Myrrh" record (1972)?
RW:
That was at the time when the String Band was
starting to go into two directions. Mike getting more
into electric...
Q:
With "Smiling men with bad reputations".
RW:
Quite. I thought that I would do something on my
own really, that would wind up some of the things that
weren't really suitable for the current line-up of the
band and there're a few things on there that I still
like. I think that it would have been better to take
more time and to have done it with more musicians.
I ended up playing a lot of it myself, but there are
some nice things on that album.

The copy style
songbook mentions "I See Us All Get Home" and "Rends-Moi Demain" as
tracks of a single. Obviously it was never realized.

RW:
Only a fraction of the stuff did we ever record
and also there was a lot of stuff that was never even
made into song which remained as poems, so finally
round about 1970 I put out a book of poetry called
"Home thoughts from abroad", which featured all' the
writing that I'd done between 1966 and '70, that
hadn't been recorded.
