Aside to **Panache** : Here’s an animated (sort of) rendition of “Supper’s Ready”: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/e4HfFwVy-h0/maxresdefault.jpg "Supper's Ready Illustrated") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4HfFwVy-h0) Thought you might like it. I sure did. ---

Wow, thanks so much for that, **Spoons**! It certainly helped to clarify and enliven some of the lyrics. But I didn’t care for the middle fast section as much. It looked like it was drawn by a different artist, though only one artist was in the credits. 2875 He is you. ---

First things first: 2878 Just discovered this, **Panache** : It's the animated version of \*The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway\*, done by the same artist that did \*Supper's Ready\*. I haven't made my way through it all yet, but I thought that you might be interested. I’ll add that the drawing in the middle of the animated _Supper’s Ready_ didn’t impress me much, either; but I’ll just put it down to another artist that was called in. Maybe no credit, but it’s possibly a paycheque; and as one who has ghostwritten books before, I can say that paying the rent comes before a credit on the title page. Okay, carrying on: A flower? ---

Thanks again, **Spoons**. These videos sure do help me appreciate a song with confusing lyrics. And I think that artist’s work is very appropriate. 2879 If you go down to Willow Farm ---
