I received as a birthday gift yesterday her latest offering ( from this moment on.) which didn't disappoint. She's also a top notch jazz pianist - man, if I had to do it all over again, I would of been a jazz pianist instead of a guitar player,
best..
Happy belated birthday Bluegrasser!!Hope you got everything you were hoping for. BTW.. what are your thoughts on Santana?? CC
That's not necessarily a bad thing! Hey, you listen to the same stuff that I do...minus the really loud and stoopid early 80s heavy metal that I still listen to on occassion.:shock:
Love Santana , sometimes I play a backround track of some of his music and jam away. He really created a new style of music, his licks were new and fresh and great tone, especially his early stuff - as far as the birthday, lets put it this way, it had four legs and hair all over - a wiener dog :grin:
Cool - The 70's was a great period for R&R, heck, my kids listen to it.

Hey, you might like a newer band called My Morning Jacket. To me, they really have an authentic classic rock vibe. Their studio albums are pretty good, but they really do their damage live. Luckily they just released a double live disc recorded at the Fillmore West. It's called Okonokos. Not guitar god classic rock, but sort of sort of a southern rock feel with great songwriting. If you are looking for something new, give that live record a listen.
The other records I have recorded live at the Fillmore turned out pretty good...Allman Bros. and Zappa.
Brettolius, that "Mothers-Live at the Fillmore East" is a naughty, naughty album (lyric-wise). I like Peaches en Regalia (originally on the LP "Hot Rats" which did win a JAZZ album of the year award from Downbeat), but oh!....the lyrics to those other songs/skits.....(click and drag cursor down) "....Listen you chicks! Didn't I hear you 'got off' being juked by a baby octopus and spewed upon with creamed corn, and that that your hair-lipped diko-bass playing girlfriend had to have it in the 'back seat' with a hot Yoo-Hoo bottle or she'd go ape-shlt; what's the deal baby?!!The other records I have recorded live at the Fillmore turned out pretty good...Allman Bros. and Zappa.

bluegrasser: ah, Humble Pie ("Rocking the Fillmore" and its signature romp "I Don't Need No Doctor." Big sound from little people (Frampton 5'2" and the late Steve Marriott, singer 5'1").
