This recording is a solo project of Dan
Fassett
The Green Man is an archetype symbolizing humankinds reemerging
awareness of its interdependence and unity with nature. Robin
Hood is only one of the many forms in which he is found. He often
is seen sculpted from wood and stone in churches and furniture
of Europe and is predominately rooted in Western culture. His
form is represented as a composite of at man's head and leaves.
