(another reason its not around anymore) but if your on a desktop with two traditional speakers, listen to this song, and the 1st lead guitar in the left speaker and the 2nd lead in the right. Even the voices are clearly separated .... I miss the old stuff sometimes ....

When I was going through boot camp, the Drill Instructors would put on this song and others for about 10 seconds and shut it off just to screw with us.

Well that's cool. Took you back. Its amazing how we are wired to music, isn't it Eddie? Especially on songs that were not so popular as to become a classics, but in their day, you played the hell out of them. You won't hear one of those songs for years, maybe decades, but when you do, you,.... for just a few seconds are right back in that exact spot. You can remember so vividly. Goosebumps. The sights, smells, everything comes back just as it was. How do we do that ?

I do try to connect with today's music but if I hear Beck, Clapton, Page, Hendrix, today's artists are just in the shadow of greatness.

I have for the most part been a Traditional Country music fan. However, I am a huge fan of The Mavericks and listen to them every day.

Here's one half of the super group Blind Faith with a song you'll never hear on "classic rock" .. Still cookin' !!

I just made up a new rule..Two-fer Tuesdays allowed ;-)

The Moody Blues were finally inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame in 2018

Their critics claimed they recorded with a symphony orchestra , but so what? So did Procol Harum , even The Beatles.

They had already proved they could do psychedelic stuff, plus Justin Hayward showed he could play R&R lead guitar with the best of them.. Anyway, they're in now!

1550 views. Somebody's rockin ! I missed two fer Tuesday ... Crap . I notice Mark and others seem to like the 70's super groups. I'll go back to the 70's but a little deeper. Nobody ( except maybe Mark) remembers a band called Spooky Tooth. You either liked them, or hated them. Their keyboard player, some guy named Gary Wright, went out on his own. His first self titled Album called "Dream Weaver" had a huge hit called the same name. Thing was,the entire album....drums, guitar, organ, bass ect., was produced on his synthesizer.At the time I thought it was really cool, but now it's way too common for bands to do all the work digitally. Here is a cut off the same album...
