Sometime in 1968 I was in the car with my parents near Griffith Park. A commercial came on the radio for Cream at the Shrine Auditorium. They played I Feel Free with a booming announcer voice like commercials for Irwindale Drag Strip. Across the L.A. River I could see the Purina Dog Chow factory, which had a tall silo painted with red and white checks. For the rest of time that is what I think of when I hear I Feel Free.

Agreed, Pete. I first saw Fresh Cream at record store in San Francisco in the Summer of 1967. It was up on the wall next to Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix. I had heard of neither of them. "I guess the new thing is groups with three guys." I thought to myself. I wouldn't get it for another year when my mom took me to K-Mart on my thirteenth birthday. She bought me Bayou Country and Fresh Cream.

Lionel Hampton was the first well known artist I saw perform live. It was the summer of 1965, and Liza Minnelli sang backed up by Hamp’s big band. Liza was 19. I was 10 soon to be 11. It was at the Palms Shore Cabana Club in Sheepshead Bay Bklyn, and John Lindsay did a campaign stop there in his quest to become mayor.

He does speak out a bit about the whole Big audio cartels and overly homogenized sterile sound that is being used today.

Also, Albini refuses to take ongoing royalties from other bands recording in his studio, feeling that a producer's job is to record the music to the band's desires, and that paying producers as if they had contributed artistically to an album is unethical.

When I was a young pup growing up in Bklyn, Carole King and Gerry Goffin lived around the corner from me. Had no idea, at the time.

I saw Family open for Elton John in 1972. I was too young and impatient to care who the opening bands were then, sadly. I became a fan a year or so later.

Great you caught him there-he had some of his greatest bands at that venue, his quartet with Carlos Ward, and Ekaya (took my wife there on our first date to see Ekaya...she should have known what was to come then, I gave her warning...)

He just released a solo piano album (maybe not just a year or 2 ago). Hopefully will still do concerts-I did catch him with an updated version of Ekaya a bit before the pandemic hit).

I got to look very cool when I was able to identify this as the music sampled for Kanya West's "Power" to my older daughter when it came on somewhere.

Yup, The picture on that first album. And can I just say that Skip Spence was asperational! How to look like that. It was hopeless, Skip just had it and there was nothing to do but try. Moby Grape was on Boss City, a Saturday night dance show in Los Angeles. Of course they did Omaha and Hey Grandma. They jumped around like a bunch of lunatics.

The girl across the street moved away in the summer of 1968. The next summer she came back and stayed with us. She had transformed into beach hippie. We sat on our front lawn and listened to the first reports of the Manson murders on KRLA. She brought my sister that first King Crimson album. The rest of summer it was all Manson all the time, with 21st Century Schizoid Man blasting in the back round.

More evidence of my being a "late bloomer"; Fairport Convention did get a bit of play on FM radio in NY, but I had to go back and chatch up with them when I got hooked on the Richard and Linda Thompson albums reissued in the early 80s.

BOB and PETE, so much fabulous music today from artists who have been snubbed by the R & R Hall of Fame! The Move, the Monkees, Big Star, Quicksilver, Moby Grape, Family, King Crimson, Procol Harum, Fairport. Procol's "Whiter Shade of Pale," however, is an entry in their "classic" songs division.

2) She has a real aversion to edgy Coltrane sounds (edgy free jazz or other dissonant music in general). As I said, she was forwarned...

She's become more tolerant, even interested in jazz improv (as long as it's not too "out"
I've developed an appreciation for Musical Theater (which I had no interest in, even disdain for before we met).
And she often hides upstairs from the music playing-somehow it works.
