`The Turn Of A Friendly Card' was the first single from the album of the same name released in 1980. Lead vocals from APP regular Chris Rainbow and the usual APP musicians were playing (Ian Bairnson on guitar, David Paton on base, Stuart Elliott on drums and percussion and Eric Woolfson on piano and harpsichord. Andrew Powell arranged and conducted The Munich Chamber Opera orchestra. The album was written when Eric Woolfson was living very close to the Monte Carlo casino, which he often frequented. Themes of gambling run throughout the album and the lyrics of this track tell a beautifully sad tale of gambling addiction. Some of the video footage was filmed at Eric Woolfson’s home in London. Eric actually wrote a completely different song with the same name in the 60s, but it was never released. However he always liked the title so used it again for this track.

To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ... Sounds like Edith (II) Rix has been online all the time, ...

A.

At 10:30 This whole discussion abut combinator reduction is especially interesting. I didn't know Arthur Norman had tried building hardware for combinator machines. I'll look that up: maybe start here A.C. Norman Faster combinator reduction using stock hardware in LFP '88: Proceedings of the 1988 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming.
