    Lovely story. I remember my summer playing guitar on Ios. I probably played a few Donovan songs and a few Leonard Cohen songs as well. Would love to jam with you one day brother.

    I lived as a kid in Greece, probably was in Mykonos as a 12 year old in the summer of 66. Later in 75 I went to Paros to study photography at the Aegean School of Fine arts, where I had a blast, and led the simple life. Yes, that lifestyle is gone, but the effect remains in our hearts. Perfect dawns where the sea was so calm there was no horizon.

    Great story, Dono! Hey, I still play the bongos! Never been on a Greek island, though. You're right, it must have been hard to leave that lifestyle!

    Thanks Donovan, I use to have a picture of Gypsy Dave, from one of your albums, hanging on my wall as a young teen. It brought back memories.
