No Picture Guitar Man Lead Player	#1 by Guitar Man at Jan 26, 1970 at 9:26 AM EST
	A very nice ending to the ''living in the past album''... The bigger well known songs really show all of Jethro artistic abilitys ... But the shorter songs such has this can not be overlooked... We get of view of the lyricist's life and emotions once again... I do not know who nursie is, but I'm sure she was glad to here this... Thank life for the artists that expose and send love using their art... I wonder if this nursie is the same girl has in the ''cheap days return'' song...

No Picture Wanna Be	#2 by ZeppelinPro at Jul 14, 2006 at 12:47 PM EST
