The Woodland Garden (Tuesday 1st February 2022)

In today, working through yesterday's photo shoot. Those earbuds were collected for return to the retailer but the plumber was a no show.

Delighted to discover bunches of snowdrops have popped up in the garden, so popped out to capture them with the Lozarithm Lens.

Kevin Ayers - Eleanor's Cake (Which Ate Her)(recorded June-September 1969, Abbey Rd Studios, London)
“Take another look around, maybe what you’ve lost you’ve found…” Eleanor’s Cake (Which Ate Her) - Kevin Ayers, 1970.
Eleanor Barooshian (2 April 1950 – 30 August 2016), also known as Eleanor Baruchian and as Chelsea Lee, was the inspiration behind Kevin Ayers’ song Eleanor’s Cake (Which Ate Her) from the Joy Of A Toy album (1970). She was a member of all-girl band The Cake, formed in New York in 1966.The other band members were Jeanette Jacobs and Barbara Morillo. Their repertoire consisted of R&B standards as well as their own compositions, which have been described as “baroque pop” with madrigal style vocal harmonies.
The Cake released two albums on the US Decca label, The Cake in 1967 and A Slice Of Cake in 1968.
Eleanor also contributed backing vocals to Why Are We Sleeping on Soft Machine’s first album, which Kevin Ayers sang. It would seem likely that Kevin Ayers first met Eleanor and Jeanette Jacobs in New York, during the time Soft Machine were supporting Jimi Hendrix in 1968. Jeanette was romantically involved with Hendrix at the time.
Following the break-up of The Cake in 1968, Eleanor Barooshian and Jeanette Jacobs toured with Dr John The Night Tripper and subsequently moved to the UK in 1969, at the time Kevin Ayers' album was being made, where they became part of Ginger Baker’s Air Force. She was apparently very proud of the song Kevin Ayers dedicated to her, and looked back fondly at her time in The Cake.
After the Soft Machine tour with Jimi Hendrix, Kevin Ayers had decided to retire from the music business. However when Hendrix presented him with his acoustic Gibson J-200 guitar on condition that he continued writing songs, he repaired to a small London flat where he composed the songs that became Joy Of A Toy. This collection was then presented to the Harvest label where it was produced for the then exorbitant sum of £4000 (equivalent to about £68,000 today).
Eleanor went on to record an album in Japan with Tetsu Yamauchi.
