The visual pun/play on words on the cover of Tea for the Tillerman?
I won't give it away, if you haven't noticed you can have the pleasure of discovering it.
Cheers
Michael

Very hard to give a clue without giving it away.
No it is not the cup of tea.
It is ...... the Tillerman, the table, the table clothe, the tree
And a good dictionary
hey...that rhymes

I've stared and examined this cover for hours in the past... The cover keyed on the title song but overlaped with some of the other songs... Always wondered who was bringing the steak for the sun... or did it mean sacrifice. Where are the seagulls... Perhaps we are the seagulls singing our hearts out everytime we play the album... The boy/girl in the tree who or what are the eyes looking at? And The woman making rain... I always though her name was Lisa... My list goes on and on BUT I never noticed any thing that was a pun or a play on words...

"Pick up a good book now? Meaning the Quran?"

Yusuf said in a recent interview that he used A good book, rather than THE good book, so no one book is specified.

If your dictionary is half decent, look up the obvious word, and look around a little

oooh, oooh, ooooh... it just came to me a little while ago... (and all I had to do was THINK of tea...)
I won't give it away... but I will say, here's a clue: think of one of the main songs on the album.
Have I put you on the right track? ;-)

the tree, the root, the table clothe, the tiller man, the dictionary What did you mean by root??? Roots of the tree? We are rooting right now, we are trying to see your visual pun... I think we need to hire a blind man... Perhaps he/she can see the obvious that our eyes are desiving us with... |
