by the time I actually fell in love w/R&R & BLUES, it was the early '70's, and I was an early teen .I remember (BEATLES & HENDRIX are 2 of my faves) thinking, ''why does Sgt.Pepper, for a lot of people, define that period, while this masterpiece, ELECTRIC LADYLAND isn't talked about in such glowing terms?'' today in NE, it's a 'rainy day' again!! but, anyway, Jimi plays in a sophisticated way, but also blazes thru R&R like 'Come on pt.1'.'1983' is one of the masterpieces of this audio trip, w/ space sounds, Atlantis stories, and so forth. this record, even today, isn't given the accolades it highly deserves, which amazes me. I suppose it has to do w/ the fact that Janie Hendrix sees to it that we can only get bootlegs of Jimi on KZread .I haven't really searched much lately on YT for more, but it's very obvious my fellow music lovers just don't hear it. not the most radio friendly LP he did. but where ever he is, I'm sure he has no regrets in that area. I, like yourself, am a huge fan of Neil Young, especially his CRAZY HORSE work. saw them outside at nite. I'm sure folks a mile away could hear the sonic power. I went to see his documentary shot at the Grand Ole Opry, a few years back. he mentions matter of factly, to the Ryman auditorium crowd, that "this is Hank's guitar". I was flabbergasted. anyway, you have impeccable taste, my friend. I'm very sorry about your Dad. my Dad hated R&R, but loved SINATRA, and made me a fan for life. lost him suddenly in Jan.2000. on August15th, '99, at (formerly) YASGUR'S FARM, I saw David Crosby play w/ his son on the 30th anniversary of Woodstock. because of what I remember to be an absence of a decent emcee, I left in order to catch a bus back to NYC, then to Boston(as I had no other ride,and rumors abounded that Johnny Winter was either 1)a no show, or 2)wasn't happy unless he closed instead of Crosby, 3)or sick.) turns out, an hour to 90 minutes later JW came out .a guy who lived in my home town told me, later. but I'd seen him 3 times, and I knew he was a shell of his former self. but the historic value of him coming back 30 years later, wasn't something I wanted to miss. live and learn.

Please have Pink Floyd......or Temple of the Dog!

Nice album choices. No Melanie? I guess you were too young to get into her music. She was at the top of the charts in 1971. If you have any interest in Melanie, Cleopatra records is releasing her album "Stoneground words" on vinyl and CD this month. Just before she died she recorded an album to be released soon. It's the only album she recorded without her producer husband that died 11 years ago. I can't wait to hear it!

Oh I certainly remember Melanie, I had a crush on her back in the day. I loved hearing the story of how she was so nervous to perform at the Isle Of Wight in 1970 that Keith Moon helped her through it by making jokes and making her laugh. A great photo exists of her, Keith and Pete. I was shocked when she passed. Kinda broke my heart. Mainly because you never really heard anything negative about her.

You are wearing a Who shirt, so why isnt Who's Next on the list? I have the White Album, XTC's Nonsuch, Kinks Arthur, Thin Lzzy Jailbreak and Jimi's Greatest Hits
