Wishbone Ash can trace its origins back to Torquay, a seaside resort in the south west of England. It was here that Martin Turner and Steve Upton first performed together - Turner bass - Upton the drums, before moving to London in 1969 to seek fame and fortune. It was in the capital that a decision was made to place an advert for a keyboard player and a lead guitarist. The following audition threw up 2 guitar leads but nobody could decide who to choose and the trademark twin lead sound of Wishbone Ash was born. Ted (David) Turner and Andy Powell soon went through the poverty and growing pains of a new band but were fortunate that Miles Copeland was championing their cause and a fairly rapid progression was achieved.

Dream Train Lyrics
Wishbone Ash
Weaving a web around my heart,
Slowly taking my world apart.
I cant begin to think of anything else
Left my reason way up on a shelf.
Stealing away without a sound,
My feet dont hardly touch the ground.
I look at the clock, the hands of fate,
The train Im riding cant be late.
Riding on that dream train -
One look in your eyes, and I follow through.
Riding on that dream train -
Been a rider since I met you.
The brush of her skirt, the look in her eye
No use denying the curve of her thigh.
I got a feeling Im out on limb
Past committing original sin.
Cold steel on a railroad track
Hard heart, I aint coming back.
Put the border on red alert
Heed the warning, youre gonna get hurt.
