Carroll Eventyr

"Just thought of another chart topper on the Pynchon hit parade. Delius has a
snappy little number called Eventyr (as in Carroll) that I bought at a
library used book sale one morning and played, fully expecting the answers to
all life's and Pynchon's mysteries to be contained therein. No such luck, but
I haven't played it in a while, and maybe it's sort of a cumulative thing.
Perhaps I'll put it on again now. If this is the last you hear of me, look
into it."

That composition sounds intriguing--I'll have to check into it.  Just out
of curiosity, does anyone know if it's featured on the film bio. Ken Russell
made about Delius before he (Russell, not Delius) went totally wacko with
his feature films?

On the subject of Carroll Eventyr, it's the *first* name I find suggestive,
since the March 21, 1969 issue of TIME magazine ran a cover article on
re-awakening interest in the occult, and astrologer Carroll *Righter* was
featured on the cover.  In that same article, the following passage can
also be found:

	A California rock group called The Fool has recorded several zodiacal
	songs--not only because they believe in astrology, but because they 
	feel generally tuned in to the entire occult world (the Fool is the
	card in the fortunetelling Tarot deck that stands for Man).  [sic]

One more Kute Korrespondence/Influence thought:  Aaron Copeland set a musical
version of the "Lowlands" chanty that inspired Pynchon's story--but which
came first?  Pynchon's folk and rock connections are strong enough that the
original chanty may been the source, but so might Copeland?
