Bob Lind's Message Board

Hi Bob and all the Bob Lind fans, I'm here in Ozland a couple of hours after midnight, so I'm in a bit of a time warp since I'm writing to you from 2011. Seems to be a nice moment to write about the timeless aspect of certain songs. When a song has the the lyrics 'across my dreams in nets of wonder'...

Hi Danny, Oh how the memory fades! Coming back here I'd been on a little search for notable songs of the 60s that I'd forgotten about (unlike Elusive Butterfly).

Thanks for the comment about the research. Here's a little story that explains that research and maybe connects 'Bu...

Hi folks, This morning my music player randomly selected Elusive Butterfly and it prompted me to search for other folks on the Internet for whom it resonated.
