bradm Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I remember coming across something similar in a used book store, but it was just Robert Hunter's stuff, both lyrics and poetry. It also had a big section on "Terrapin Station", and how it came to be, along with parts that weren't used for the song. I think this might be it, but I can't remember, exactly.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
