  1. Sorry, I missed that review. Didn't mean to double post. But that is the CD I want.
  2. How cool. Stay with him as long as you can. You'll be glad you did later.
  3. Well it's cold enough tonight that we built our first fire of the season. 44.8 degrees outside. October 12. Seems early.
  4. Come on down Buckster. We be jammin' ta da Floyd!!!
  5. I'll weigh in with an album that I came across in a bargain bin many years ago. There wasn't even a cover over the album. Just the album and the cardboard case. But it is still in very good condition, just a few pops at high volume. Replayed it yesterday, put it on the Right This Minute thread and received several good comments so I'll share it here. Words like monumental or groundbreaking are bandied about a lot but I think may apply in this case. Those of us growing up in the 60's and 70's saw many musical changes and developments. Rock music was evolving and this album captures a small section of that evolution. Enter the unlikely all-star triumvirate of Al Kooper (piano/organ/ondioline/vocals/guitars), Mike Bloomfield (guitar), and Stephen Stills (guitar) all of whom were concurrently "on hiatus" from their most recent engagements. Kooper had just split after masterminding the definitive and groundbreaking Child Is Father of the Man(1968) version of Blood, Sweat and Tears. Bloomfield was fresh from a brief stint with the likewise brass-driven Electric Flag, while Stills was late of Buffalo Springfield and still a few weeks away from a more or less full-time commitment to David Crosby and Graham Nash. Although the trio never actually performed together, the long-player was notable for idiosyncratically featuring one side led by the team of Kooper/Bloomfield and the other by Kooper/Stills. (AMG) Side 1 Mike Bloomfield-Al Kooper 1. Albert's Shuffle* 2. Stop* 3. Man's Temptation 4. His Holy Modal Majesty 5. Really Side 2 Steve Stills-Al Kooper 1. It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry 2. Season of the Witch 3. You Don't Love Me 4. Harvey's Tune Personnel: Mike Bloomfield-Electric Guitar (Side 1 only) Steve Stills-Electric Guitar (Side 2 only) Al Kooper-Piano, Organ, Ondioline, Vocals, 12-Srring Guitar and Electric Guitar Harvey Brooks-Bass Eddie Hoh-Drums *Barry Goldberg-Electric Piano The music on this record was performed spontaneously by the personnel as listed. The horns were added later as an afterthought. -Al Kooper While not mentioned on the album, Bloomfield became ill and was not able to finish side 2 and Stills was called in to finish. You can hear some different musical influences evolving into a new level of rock that came to be purely by accident. And thanks to coda for pointing this out. A video from a session on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrh5VujHJl4 Great stuff. This album is available on CD. Happy listening.
  6. Please keep us apprised as to dates and times. I will drive from Hagarville to see that. I've been meaning to come down there anyway.
  7. Thebes, Got the package today with the BS button and tie-tac. Thank you. Mark
  8. What you have is called "cognitive disonance." There is no known cure but time. It's an old marketing term that means many things but one is that after a purchase you are obliged to second-guess your action. You will wrestle with the good vs bad until one is settled on. Hopefully you will settle on the fact that you made a good purchase. Let your own ear be the judge.
  9. Cardinals on brink of advancing. 2-0
  10. OB, I agree with this assessment. The question is where does your responsibility begin and the power company end. Sometimes that point can be negotiated. Maybe split the cost. Especially since it was not your decision to move it.
  11. I just watched the concert footage and in reading the booklet that came with the DVD it mentioned that several months after the concert, Steve played the DVD of the concert and deemed it of a good enough quality to release. This was taken from the video board. These were shots taken to be shown on the large screen inside the arena. They were not intended to be released as concert video. But I thought it turned out pretty durn good.
  12. We don't make the sound in your speakers.................. we make the sound in your speakers better!!!
  13. 1 Morning Sun 2 Song For Juli 3 Ridgetop 4 Evenin 5 Miss Hesitation 6 T-Bone Shuffle 7 Lafayette Waltz 8 Jambalaya (On the Bayou) 9 Country Home Released Sept 1973. Young was a member of the Youngbloods who had some hits in the late 60's and early 70's. This was Young's first solo album. While this album is not widely known it has some very pleasant tunes. Almost folk and not quite full blown R&R this has an earthy, laid-back feel.
  14. Sorry, Did a double. Hate it when that happens!

  16. Hey Thebes------------I hear you been layin' my old lady!
