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.

Master Of Disguise Lyrics
Wishbone Ash
Im a master of disguise,
Mystery in your eyes,
Travelling the backroads of your country.
Well, you think youve got my number
And then again, you wonder
Will you ever get to find the real me.
Things are not always
As they first may seem
Its like living in a dream.
So youd like me to reveal
All that I know and feel
At the risk of causing panic and destruction.
Well, theres a method to this madness.
I dont mean to cause you sadness
My course is strictly governed by instruction.
Things are not always
As they first may seem
Its like living in a dream.
Im a master of disguise
Not about to compromise
My position in this scheme of worldly values.
Ah, theyre calling out my name.
Ive promised to remain
Ever faithful to the memory of what is true.
Things are not always
As they first may seem
Its like living in a dream.
Oh, Im living in a dream,
Im high, Im high.
In the cold, cold night, Im high.
