what are you listening to?

One of my all time favorite records. Now on vinyl! Since ‘87 I’ve listened to this on CD and used that to audition my gear.

Now I have a very nice vinyl copy. And man, does it sound good!

The Horace Silver Quintet: Song For My Father -- 1964 – Blue Note 81485
Title Song Opens with Some Familiar Cords - Take a Listen and compare the opening of "Song for My Father" to the 1974 Steely Dan tune "Rikki Don't Lose That Number". Becker and Fagen came along 10 years after this album came out. It's a great album.

Tommy Bolin: Teaser (1975)

It must be end 1979 / early 1980 I've listened to this album for the first time.

It became one of my favourites instantly.

Drove down to Hot Springs to a hole-in-the-wall record store this afternoon.

Picked up some Steve Miller, Edgar Winter (the Derringer time...), some Trower and this throw-back Gem:

Dayam....learn something new everyday...

Learned of that just today... Had no idea. I knew Rick played on some of his tracks but not the Producer part. I guess Rick had some kind of competition going on with Ronnie Montrose.

To do what? See who could produce the most hits or what??

The second sampling from the record store trip. First time hearing this album in it's entirety...

To do what? See who could produce the most hits or what??

No idea really. Just some guitar God aspirational BS would be my guess ...
Seem to recall people referring to Derringer as a bit of a dick back in the Rolling Stone magazine heyday.

Last day of flex time off that I don't have to be somewhere early so working through my 60 minute individual artist mixes while figuring out my strategy for reserving campsites 5 months and 11 months out. Indeed, it's a lot like planning some kind of military campaign to get reservations to get the boss down to the Florida Keys for 10 days next January. In the meantime, I've burned through my electric Dylan, CCR, Elton John (FM cuts) mixes and am working my way through Jackson Browne at the moment. Soon to be followed by Johnny Cash.

Remarkable how well the audio on this video sounds considering it's from 1978.

Ronnie Montrose on his 'Open Fire' tour. Never knew the great Steve Smith played drums on that tour...

Forgot to mention, the dude at the record store spun a vinyl version of that Fleetwood Mac. Never heard it before. Some real special bluesy tracks in that collection...

And I can live the rest of my life not hearing it again......is it an acquired taste Tony?
