It's nice to know that there are some other Mother Earth fans on the list
- although I guess there are a lot staying silent. I got the new album
for christmas and I was really impressed. Has anyone heard Deighton's
solo album, and can offer a critique ?

Something else bugging me, I read somewhere a year or so ago that
Deighton wasn't an original member of Mother Earth, but a friend argues
he was. I used to own 'Stoned Woman' but no longer have a copy, so I
can't check. Input ?
