PT oh sure. Strongly tempted to get the box/book just for the Kirwan Trax. Mojo's obituary of the man was rather sad: the man wrote the best songs on Future Games .. he seems to have kept in touch with Jeremy. But as Martin Celminns noted in his bio of Peter Green, DANNYs was the true tragic story in Fleetwood Mac. It's like Mercutios death in Romeo&Juliet

The Tammys hailed from Oil City (NorthWest) PA, 8 miles up the road from my stomping grounds, Franklin. We went to Friday-night YWCA dances in OC, where the Tammys would be dancing and singing at the top of their lungs with their sweet but Tough voices whenever a Lou Christy song came on. They were Lou's first female back singers.

Joe i agree about Danny being the biggest mac tragedy
to be honest i always wondered why Peter didn't kick spencer out after 1 album. he sucked. his music sucked, his shtick sucked, he ultimately wouldn't even play on the other's songs, and he was a dick. he brought nothing to fleetwood mac.

Peters story was kinda tragic..but he survived. Granted I never listen to the solo stuff. He played with Otis Spann or whoever. Of course his Mac stuff is beyond reproach. But he did ok. He owned his publishing. Wrote Black Magic Woman, I guess that's played endlessly even if the average punter think it's by Santana. Definitely buying Celmins revised bio of Peter this month

Bob B /Pete T, How do you two do. I was just thinking of how a lot of the later generations piss moan and groan about how they're sick of The Beatles. It's just because they don't realize how they significantly changed the sound of popular music for ever from the early mid sixty's until now. It was a major historic flashpoint in music history separating how music sounded before as is the theme of your show is doing now. Not to mention the Mondo countless influences they've had on so many other recording artists from that time on up. But on the other hand you can't hardly blame them because like us and anyone from all generations it's in the nature of the human mind that the majority of life's influences of what's is going on during that time of development is imprinted in the brain of our youthfulness is where we all generally live.

Don't see it as tragic, Peter greenbaums story. Kirwan was in a hostel and a boozer by all account. He was writing as good songs as Peter (Dragonfly, which peter LOVED .. Sunny side of heaven..Earl Grey...World in harmony..Coming your way..

@Joe: Both Mr. Brainen and I are gigantic Danny K fans! Subject of a future show perhaps? And @coelacanthø: I saw FM Summer 1970 (first tour post-Green) and Jeremy KILLED IT with his Elvis etc. I agree that his endless Elmore James pastiches were not early Fleetwood Mac album highlights, but live he more than pulled his weight.

Not much out there on Kirwin, doubt his 3 solo albums are out on cd. He must have kicked it as a live performer with Mac (when he wasn't smashing his guitar). Someone here in NJ just published A Love That Burns on Peter Greens music with Mac (in 3 huge volumes to read) but aside from the Fleetwood Mac Family Album cd (which had the odd Kirwan track..there's not much!! Dragonfly is on the Kiln House reissue (Mac 69-74 box)

@PT: Another music bio addict here. Somebody here mentioned Elijah Wald's How the Beatles Destroyed Rock and Roll the last installment of this show. One of the points he makes is how the British Invasion re-segregated (dis-integrated?) popular music. It wasn't the Beatles' fault, it was the industry. Wald is pretty much my favorite music writer.

True that Coel. Fortunately all youngsters aren't like that. This happened two weeks ago at the farmers market: I was waking behind a woman who had on an outfit that was a perfect study in 1970's grandma. When I walked passed her I looked at her face and was shocked. I was a very beautiful young woman. I complemented her on outfit. She smiled and blushed. We talked about thrift stores and music. She really liked Pink Floyd! Go figure.

@dan You know, I've always been surprised no live tapes of Nick Drake's are out there. At all. It's like trying to find Love live at the Whisky from 66-8 when there was a soundboard recording made! Nick DID open at high profile gigs, for Fairport after the crash. He did gig at Cousines or wherever! Can't believe no live tapes are out there! I'm sure there are even JohnMartyn live tapes out there! (Like London conversation is an album you wanna hear again

I would second @Pax's closing sentence if it weren't sarcastic, which is how I read it (maybe mistakenly). I work with youth, i.e., young adults, both graduate students and undergrads. They impress me on a daily basis with their ambition, intelligence, wisdom, and heart. The cohort I see is to some extent self-selecting, and so I recognize they are not a fair sample. They want to learn and excel. But there are a lot like them, and this fact makes me very happy as I grow older.

I think Part Two here maybe makes a stronger case for the strength & diversity of Musics preBeatles ? I still might want more Surf & Garage (well maybe it was still Frat this early...) - just to underscore the Rawk ? Well ...that's maybe Rex's full-time purview ? :D But grateful & appreciative of your expertise in these areas !...
'Soldier of Love' makes me think of TheBeatles covering it (on BBC sessions of course) - & how TheBeatles related to all this sort of material themselves, in fact.
Has seemed to me almost like famous people's roots in the early 1960s Folk Movement have been intentionally obscured ...or there's simply no interest...
