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.

Im half past lovin
And I got no more time for you,
Half past lovin
And thats all that I can do.
Your hands keep movin
But your face keeps standin still.
I got no time to lose
And I aint got time to kill.
The wheels keep turnin
All through the night and day
Wheels keep turnin
What else can I say?
Time keeps changin
Like we knew it always will.
I got no time to lose
And I aint got time to kill.
You got good timin, honey,
And your rhythms fine as it can be.
You got good timin, babe,
And your motions right for me.
