For once I can actually write: 'I am too young to remember that one.' :o) Actually, I do remember it, but I was 9 or 10 when it came out after Vietnam I think. 69 or 70, right? Being the youngest girl of 4 girls (at least I had a younger brother so I wasn't the youngest), I had to listen to alot of music when I was young! That is how I came to love the GrateFul Dead and get sick of Elton John later. :o)




>I do remember. You might want to check out alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.acoustic BTW. I have a number of his singles as well. already have my tickets for the Flecktones here in August.

>Are you familiar with Stanley Jordan? Jazz guitar, fingers with both hands - incredible to watch or listen to.

>( funny how doing a list like this triggers so many associations -some musical, some not. The Tremeloes weren't exactly a timeless group, but play "Yellow River" in a roomfull of guys my age who were in a colorful place in a colorful time and watch the eyes kind of drift off. That's how "Cracklin' Rose" made the list. )

>>Great list Charles. Did I mention that I know Victor Wooten (re Bela Fleck)? :o) I was fortunate enough to have dinner with him and a friend one night in Fayetteville (he is the nicest human being I know) and to hear him play for a group of about 50 people (jamming) for a couple of hours. A close friend of mine teaches at his Bass Camps...(Oh yeah, I have his biography written by Paul Hargett signed by everyone including his family... :o *G*G*G*G*G)

>>>Okay, I'll play. Here's some of what's on the MP3 player and within arms reach of my desk... ( Yeah, I own a lot of music done since 1980 <g> but most likely not what they're playing at the mall or giving grammy's to. Lots of jazz and blues, lots of piano and guitar, lots of people who will never see the pop chart, lots of musicians mostly popular with other musicians - and who have serious instrumental chops - obviously no rap, especially no grunge, very little punk or neo-punk ... )
