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.

Like A Child Lyrics
Wishbone Ash
The sky is changing
The clouds are gathering, we can see
Its growing darker day by day,
But Im so high
Within this stormy weather
God is the wind, could take my soul,
Even as I pray.
You with your lack of time
Me with my lack of space,
Where are you my love?
Lost in your reckless dreams.
I tried to share your garden of eden,
But temptation trims the wings of those
Who only wish to know.
Denied - stop looking for a reason,
Its hard to face the time to fly,
Harder still to go.
You with your lust for time,
Me with my lust for space,
Where are you now my love?
Lost in your restless dreams.
And though were strong and tough,
Can our hearts open wide enough,
To recognise the faults
And then to smile?
And though we tear each others hearts and minds,
We show no sense,
We can still have our innocence,
Like a child.
