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.

Wishbone Ash
Hey, mama, hey,
I got a fix for your despair
I said, hey, mama, hey,
I got connections everywhere.
Anything you want, I got.
Do you want to know the score?
Right here in my pocket
I cant say anymore.
Hey, mama, hey,
I got a fix for your despair.
Hey, anybody want to get loaded?
Wooh, anybody want to get high?
Hey, anybody want to get loaded?
Wooh, anybody want to get high?
She said, yeah.
I aint no backstreet jiver,
And Im just trying to make you see.
You dont know just what you want,
But I know what you need.
I can ease your dilemma
One step at a time,
I got the remedy,
You can take it line by line.
Hey, mama, I got a fix for your despair.
Take what you want,
Just take it, all I got.
If you aint had enough go on,
Take another shot.
You want it, I got it,
You want it, I got it -
Hey, mama, I got a cure for your despair.
