<< i Folks,

 I'm falling into my once a year period in which I play nothing but Imaginos
 for about a month, and now that we have some extra pieces I'm trying to put a
 full tape together, etc. Two Questions:

 Where in the order would TGTLMB go, and does anybody have the lyrics?

 I read somewhere, I think in something Albert wrote, that Gil Blanco County
 was part of the story, or at least could have been. Can anyone confirm that,
 and if so, where would that one fall in? I'm assuming that one would be
 somewhere before Imaginos met up with the Oyster boys?

Lyrics to Girl:

I thought your eyes, blue
"Oh no, they're green," she said to me
We danced in time or didn't you know
This dance was time

At the party of astrologers
The Christmas tide was due
On the way to Alberdan
The dance, the dream and you
Actuals and counterclaims
Dancing all the time
Dancing in the corridor
And the dance was time

At the height of Christmas tide
She found a ghost inside
Give it up or let it ride
She must decide

Actuals and counterclaims
Drugged, reborn, resigned
The castle stands, the girl remains
And if she'll spin
It's packed with eyes
Out there in the corridor
Caught there in the mirror maze
>From her last and loving glance
A waltz, a dance, whose time
Not here but gone was time

So put me to the question
But there's no return from this castle of mine
For the powers that be
The girl and her dreams
The girl that love made blind

And that's the last dream
We had upon that night
The party of astrologers
The Christmas of my life

Christmas, Christmas, the Christmas of my life

Note: the Imaginos version of this song differs greatly in mood, length, and
overall presentation from the Brain Surgeons version of the song.  Hopefully
someday it (and Albert Bouchard's amazing Imaginos arrangement of Gil Blanco
County) will appear on CD!
