Appearing Soon! On The Popular Calendar Near(?) You!
Day Of The Seven Sleepers: June 27th

So. The 'narrower' issue being:
D'you know of any piece of 'sleep music' that alludes, however tangentially or apocryphally or ephemerally, to the legend behind the Day Of The Seven Sleepers: the seven champion-snorin' brothers from Ephesus who - "in protest", it's said - "slept at a stretch for seven days", if not for "weeks", or even "years"??

(At the moment, the closest contender I can think of m'self is "7 Chinese Bros." ...But there must be more, I suspect!)

Anyhoo. Apart from the 'main question', feel free to declare your somnambulist love of any "Sleepwalk"s and "Sleepwalker"s or, ahem, "Daysleepr"s... Or eternally-sleepin' zombies.

Okeh, folx. - Eyes wide shut now, start revealin'!
