Gl+Ql?| ?3v Oc/2@ From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
iHp@R-g Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
PN$vBFjm selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
lM<SoC;[ 0d%p<c I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
tk"+PTGJT cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
4IW7^Pq`P more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
}E}b/ulg1 Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
pu"`*NL Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes

Cn6<I {`\ appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
R^u 1(SF Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
)wT@`p"4 Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
