Free Music Notes for Sir Henry At Rawlinson End

Free Music Review: A masterwork from a true British eccentric.
Hit: 5 Stars

I jus readded this to my cd collection after first having the vinyl album many years ago in a galaxy far, far away.

Vivian Stanshall's loquacious monologue demonstrates his intellectual abilities often hidden through the vehicle of the Bonzo Dog Do Dah Band. This group were often written off as a comedy group along the lines of the New Temperance Seven whereas in fact they had more affinity with Frank Zappa in their pithy social commentary.

Stanshall was the epitomy of the band and yet was clearly something much, much, more. I encountered him in 1968 on the stage of the Empire Theatre in Sunderland following a performance where they topped the Bill made up of Mad Dog, Yes, Roy Harper and the Bonzo's. The maestro was sat in a chair on the stage overlooking the empty theatre and sipped champagne with his two great Dane sentries on each flank. Clearly no ordinary rock star he.

There are many similarities between himself and Kevin Ayers which demonstrate themselves in ways other than music. Although not generally seen as such, Vivian was the quintissential English gentleman, articulate and free thinking.

It is my earnest belief that inspiration for this piece of exquisite art came from two major sources. As I listened to this for the first time for years I realised that there are references therein about the previous owner of George Harrison's house Friar Park, Sir Frankie Crisp, who was renowned as a great eccentric himself. Vivian's portrayal of Sir Henry melds together the image of Sir Frankie Crisp within the overall gothic novels of Mervyn PeakeThe Gormenghast Novels
to depict a world in it's own way as weird and wonderful as Alice in Wonderland.

Sir Henry at Rawlinson's End is a great work of art and deserves to be treated as such.
