Icicle Works

by The Philosophical Fish

Melting snow has run down a set of wind chimes and frozen, giving the chimes a new structure….though temporary. In thinking of a title I went through a litany of phrases using ice and landed on “Icicle Works”.

Do you remember that band?

I loved them in the 80’s.

The big hit here in North America was Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream)

I just looked them up and read that they split apart in 1989 and the original singer/songwriter/guitarist/keyboardist continued on solo for years. In 2006 he (Ian McNabb) reactivated the band name for a series of concerts, but continued to do his solo thing. But I was surprised to see that McNabb rejoined the group officially last year, after 35 years, and the band continues as a duo with the original bassist.

Everything old is new again.
