    I work with Autistic adults, and every night before going to sleep we do like a "mellow" get ready for bed routine. This consists of massage time for the guys to help with the different degrees of sensory levels that they deal with. During this time we also play the Nick Drake cd Pink Moon. It really helps to calm and mellow them. I have even begun to sneak in my own "mellow" PJ cd's and Ed's into the wild... but nothing seems to calm these guys like the voice and songs of Nick Dreak. I cant wait to see if this tribute album will have the same effect...
    God bless you for your work.

    +1. We have a family friend whose daughter is autistic, but has quite a story. I don't know if you watched, but she had an appearance on Larry King Live recently... she's thirteen, and while she can't talk, she is able to communicate through a computer by typing what she'd like to say... it's really mind-blowing, and is so absolutely incredible that she's able to communicate, where in the past, others couldn't. It's tragic to me that so many people were likely misdiagnosed as 'retarded' when they simply couldn't communicate.

    loved beck's cover of 'pink moon'... wonder if he'll be a part of this at all

    in any case i hope they just leave that song off this CD to focus on some lesser known songs... ill be happy with anything ed chooses... hopefully he sings on a couple... a duet between him and jones would be great

    So did this fall apart or something?

    Never heard anything more about it and a quick search returns no news.

    Bummer :cry:

    It didn't fall through because it was never to be.

    He was asked in an interview about it, the interviewer said there was rumors he would be apart of it and Ed said that he heard his name mentioned also but it was false and he was not going to be on a Nick Drake tribute album.
