“She sells sea shells by the sea shore... The shells she sells are surely seashells! So if she sells shells on the seashore, I'm sure she sells seashore shells! ... “ TERRY SULLIVAN
Was Mary Anning the inspiration for “she sells seashells on the seashore?” The jury may forever be out, but this we know for certain:
PATRICK THE GREAT INSPIRES US WITH HIS GORGEOUS SEA SHELL DESIGN!
Ashes Are Burning - Renaissance Happy Birthday to Annie Haslam♥♥♥
NOTICIAS: El baterista de RENAISSANCE, TERRY SULLIVAN, ha fallecido.
Sullivan nació en Londres, Inglaterra, y tuvo un éxito moderado con la banda de rock psicodélico Dry Ice, que tocó con The Who, Pink Floyd, Spooky Tooth, King Crimson y The Groundhogs y lanzó un sencillo, Running To The Convent, para IBC, filial de Island Records, en 1969. Grabó material para un álbum, pero no se publicó hasta 2018. Tras un tiempo tocando en Estados Unidos, Sullivan regresó al Reino Unido y se convirtió en baterista de Renaissance tras responder a un anuncio en Melody Maker. Su primer álbum con la banda fue el tercero, Prologue de 1972, y tocaría en todos sus discos hasta Azure d'Or de 1979, una etapa que incluyó el clásico de 1975, Scheherazade And Other Stories, y el sencillo de 1978, Northern Lights, que entró en el Top 10. Sullivan dejó Renaissance después de la grabación de Azure d'Or por un asunto de El principio, después de que su viejo amigo, el tecladista John Tout, fuera despedido tras cometer un error en el escenario. Ambos regresaron para colaborar en Tuscanny, lanzado en 2001, y Sullivan permaneció con la banda el tiempo suficiente para grabar un álbum en vivo, In the Land of the Rising Sun: Live in Japan, publicado al año siguiente. Se separaron poco después, aunque Haslam retomaría Renaissance en 2009, con solo el guitarrista Michael Dunford de la formación clásica. Sullivan también tocó con los Good 'ol Boys, una banda que también incluía al exbajista de Deep Purple, Nick Simper, al guitarrista de Warhorse, Pete Parks, y a Ali McKenzie, cantante de The Birds, el grupo de R&B de Ronnie Woods antes de su fama. También formó Renaissant, al estilo de su antigua banda, junto a su esposa Christine, John Tout y la letrista de Renaissance, Betty Thatcher-Newsinger. Su único álbum, South of Winter, se lanzó en 2005. Escribieron un segundo álbum, pero nunca lo publicaron. Será recordado por su excelente trabajo en álbumes clásicos como Prologue, Ashes Are Burning, Turn of the Cards, Scheherazarade and Other Stories, Novella, A Song for All Seasons y Azure d'Or. Q.E.P.D!
Wow.
Looks like a very hard working band... This is a 1974 footage.
And, of course, they have their own place in music.

Is it just me or does the video at 1:50 remind me of the Alan Parsons Project song A Dream Within a Dream (at 2:25)?

If I remember correctly, most of the band's lyrics were written by a lyricist Betty Thatcher.
And fascinating/funny trivia about her:
"she won a scholarship to a grammar school, where she refused to take part in any examinations. After two years excelling in English and art, she transferred to a school that accepted difficult students."

From Wikipedia: "Thatcher wrote most of the band's lyrics for the studio albums:
Prologue (1972)
Ashes Are Burning (1973)
Turn of the Cards (1974)
Scheherazade and Other Stories (1975)
Novella (1977)
A Song for All Seasons (1978)
Azure d'Or (1979)
Camera Camera (1981)" - this was her last album for Renaissance.
