I am just more of a R&B, R&R guy to begin with. The sophistication of high performance fusion assembles has done its deed.
I am now dwelling on classical compositions and the Afro-Latin spectrum of the musical scale. I consider it a "graceful" retirement.

Do you know the way to Monterey?
War has some good sounds.

Monterey? Sure. From my house, you go 3 blocks down enter 101 northbound, all the way to Salinas, then toward the ocean. Or you can take the scenic route US 1 Pacific Coast Highway, will take you right into town.

WAR as an Eric Burdon? Claro.

Yep somewhat.

But War has some nice sounds on their own. How about what is it....Los Bravos?

Dig that.

I went thru my Uncle Frank phase, right about the time I purchased the vinyl- Funkadelics 'Maggot Brain'.

Still remember the intro..
'Mother earth is pregant for the third time.
for we have knocked her up.
I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe-but I was not offended.
For I knew I had to rise above it all.
Or drown in my own shyt'.

I saw Hendrix in Shreveport, Louisiana in 1968 (I think). Forget the mind-altering drugs -- the combination of "Hendrix", "Shreveport" and "1968" is totally surreal without drugs.

That intro track could be Eddie Hazel's finest moments as a guitar player. Entire 10 minute track was done in one take.

Hazel's licks on Maggot Brain are like diamonds, done in one take makes this even more incredible.

He was only eight years old in 1968. Must have loved Hendrix..........without the drugs.

This is funny, reminds me of looking at my parents Tommy Dorsey records.

Poor guy. At least my parents had Elvis..The Everly Brothers...Chet Atkins...
