you. Thanks Andy
========================================================================
Here is my best guess on Cheap Day Return. I picked it out about
10 years ago and haven't changed the way I play it since. There are
TWO GUITARS THROUGHOUT SOME OF THE SONG AND SOME IMPROVISATION WAS
called for in order to make it sound fuller with only one guitar.
Any suggestions for improvement will be appreciated. The strumming
picking style used necessitated some liberalization on my part. But for
the most part it's relatively close.

I'm not real sure about the chord in the ending. The Bm may not
be correct.

| Yeah, but what has Aqualung itself have to do with God? And Cross-eyed mary? This is actually NOT a concept album, Ian has made it very clear that he didn't intend it to be and if I remember correctly it is one of the reasons why they made THICK AS A BRICK (aka A musical revolution in rock music). What is this about? I think it speaks by itself. Ian Anderson, as seen in the album HEAVY HORSES (mainly in the song of the same name) isn't a conservative but holds some interesting thoughts about how we might have flushed out the baby with the water (does this make sense? As an example, how we sometimes cut off with the past and lose more than what was negative, like a side effect to progress: freedom and individualism in the 18th-19th centuries for example destroyed part of respect for authority and sense of community). As he points out that nowadays domesticated horses have not much of a meaning, and that farming has lost most of what made it sort of a communion with nature, I think he is talking here about retirement houses and how we kinda throw away our old people and go on with our own lives. He might express remorse or simply concern about how his old man is taken care of by a nurse, while back in the days the kids would be in charge of their parents while they grow old. Maybe I am overinterpreting this too. | |

| might be true, i really don't know, though it doesn't fit in with the most of the other songs on the album, it not being about god or religion. | |
