Well only to the 70s .... but too few people ever got to appreciate the talent of Randy California.

The first movie soundtrack LP that came into our house ... the first time I ever heard such a high level of artistic concept and production quality.
Although just about every musical piece is near perfect ... some stand out more than others.

1966 ... Walk Away Renee
Michael Brown and Tony Sansone (The Left Banke) sung by Steve Martin Caro
Recorded on the Smash label

So ... a 16 year old pens and records what I think is one of the best pop songs ever...

There was something magical happening in the 60s........

Off to See the Band Tonight ...

Meanwhile ...... back in Paris .... I was embarrassed .... babe...

Streetheart  ... a 70's and 80's band .... the guitar guy ... Jeff .... that's my pal .... you should have heard him doing Hendrix riffs when he was 12......  and that's Frank (for Frankenstrat) about which I have a cool quote.
It seems  that Jeff used to baby his axe with a heavy duty metal shipping case that weighed about 40 pounds with the guitar inside. So ... with the advent of all the extra airline security and the extra baggage charges .... Frank gets taken along in a cheep nylon gig bag .... cause "Ahhh pffft  ... these things are made of solid maple .... they make baseball bats out of maple and last time I checked ... no one was worried about smacking things around with a baseball bat !"

Anyway we're off to see the band tonight along with Mr. & Mrs. Lost Johnny .....

Happy New Year!

Also ... another .... Nothing is Easy!

Rock and Roll Heaven Just Got A Little Richer

Not that Les Paul was a rocker per se ......... but there is no one in the music business since 1950 or so that hasn't been affected by his genius.

Lover the genius of Les on the guitar and in the studio.

Farewell Les Paul:
Born June 9, 1915, in Waukesha, Wis. .............. gone to heaven aAugust 13, 2009.

Vaya Con Dios Sweet music.

BTW - This music was re-recorded to digital format from a record pressed in 1950.

From The Days Before Hangovers!

1965 .... I was barely a teenager!

But I knew something was up when I saw and heard these girls.....

Tele Talk - With Roy Buchanan

From YouTube




Clapton and Beck both went to school on this guys techniques and seldom if ever acknolwedged his contribution. Roy was "The Best Guitar Player Nobody Heard Of "......... a real shame he passed on over twenty years ago because he deserved to have recognition while he was still around.
