Dreams Fantasies & Nightmares: Led by Bob Bryden, who had earlier played in the Toronto, Ontario-based Reign Ghost, Christmas played in Oshawa, Ontario, between 1970-74. In the later years they were known as Spirit Of Christmas. When they formed on Christmas Day in 1969 their average age was just 17. Christmas is best described as a progressive underground band. They were originally known as Black Christmas. The first album consists of three Bryden compositions characterized by lovely vocals and guitar work and two instrumentals composed by the whole band. One of these, the ambitious Jungle Fabulous, accounts for all of side 2. This album is their rarest artefact. Heritage consists of heavy progressive underground rock and has its moments, particularly on Zephyr Song, April Mountain, which has some fine guitar work, and the title track. All the songs on the album were written and arranged by Bryden. Lies To Live By is really their finest moment and arguably one of the best albums to come out of Canada in the 1970s. Very imaginative progressive rock. Almost every track is excellent and this album is strongly recommended.

Fuzz Acid & Flowers:
One of the more commercial acts to come from San Antonio, Texas in the 1960s, Perron, Cabaza, Szuch, Trieber and Holzhaus had all previously been with The Mind's Eye. It had been speculated that Bill Ash (ex The Stoics) had been in The Children as a version of The Stoics Enough Of What I Need appeared on the flip of The Children's first single. Chris Holzhaus has, however, told us that he played on all The Children's recordings, and that Bill Ash had only been an early member of The Mind's Eye.
Mike Marechal replaced Trieber after Trieber was Killed in A Drag Boat accident at McQueeney Lake outside San Antonio Texas in '68.
Cassell Webb was later in Saddlesore and went on to production work and a solo career. She is now based in the UK. Perron also enjoyed a brief solo career but sadly committed suicide, whilst Holzhaus went on to Eastwood Review.

Tapestry of Delights:
Formed by Greenslade and Reeves (both previously with Colosseum) in November 1972. Dave Lawson had earlier played with Alan Bown and Episode Six, whilst Andrew McCulloch had bashed the skins in King Crimson, Crazy World Of Arthur Brown and Fields. Their first two albums were critically acclaimed and successfully merged several different musical styles in a keyboard-driven format. Their album covers were illustrated and calligraphed by Roger Dean. Highly talented musicians, their albums were complex and rather elitist.
Before they recorded their third album, the line-up was supplemented by the addition of Dave Clempson (formerly with Humble Pie) and fiddler Graham Smith. After this album, Reeves quit (he later joined Curved Air) and was replaced by Briley (ex-Mandrake Paddlesteamer).
After their split in January 1976, Dave Greenslade recorded a solo album, Cactus Choir (Warner Bros K 56306), but it didn't sell well.
In 1977, the band reformed with a line-up of Dave Greenslade, another former Colosseum member Jon Hiseman, Tony Reeves and Mick Rodgers, but they only lasted for a tour. Their music was out of place in the emerging punk era. For the same reasons, Dave Greenslade's lavish double concept album, The Pentateuch Of The Cosmogony, the result of his collaboration with fantasy writer and artist Patrick Woodroffe, also flopped. Still the package, which came with a 47-page book, is now a minor collectable (R1). During the eighties and nineties, Dave Greenslade made a good living composing theme music for British film and television.
