Nah, Davy has his usual drummer... Just Davy's  band is warming up for Carl Palmer's band...

I used to hear a track that ended with a little girl's voice saying something about "...promise and anticipation, but was murdered by the hand of the inevitable". I thought this was America, but of the several versions I have (Elegy and 5 Bridges) they end differently. I actually thought it was from Ars Longa Vita Brevis, but America is not on that CD. Where did this come from? I know I didn't imagine it since a friend also remembers it, but not from where it came. Anyone help?

The little girl in question is Dawn Arnold (daughter of PP Arnold) and appears on some edited mono versions of 'America'.

''America is pregnant with promise and anticipation and is murdered by the hand of the inevitable.''This was at the time of America's involvement in Vietnam and was promoted as the world's first 'protest instrumental'.

You can find it on a 3CD set box set called ''Here Comes The Nice -The Immediate Anthology''.This is an excellent collection of tracks taken from their early albums and includes some previously unreleased tracks.All remastered as well!
