I always find it remarkable that the "old hands" accomplish so much, with such a great economy of hand movement particularly on the neck...compared to younger players who are zipping all over the place on the fretboard. Chuck Berry and Robin Trower are two other guitarists that exemplify this today, it's like their hands hardly move at all yet there they are, hitting all the right notes that everyone else has to scramble and stretch for, or so it seems. I still can't get my head around it, it's like there's some odd plateau that's reached where the frets move to the fingers rather than vice-versa. Really enjoyed that.
Yeah I see what you mean about Krieger now. He had a solo album called "No Habla" that should be, but isn't, anywhere on the 'net. One song in particular lends itself very well to a possible FS9 vid that I've been mentally forming....might have to do something about that....

From Baron Von Tollbooth and the Chrome Nun...Grace Slick plays her own piano, Nicky Hopkins style. Guitars at the end are like a freight train.

#21: Re: Track of the day.... Author: JG300-Ascout, Location: CyberspacePosted: Sun Jan 18, 2009 4:32 am ---- Apart from being a great song, I sure do like the way Rachel Fury moves that black dress around.

In 1970, some of us walked out on a Allman Bros. concert after the Poco opening because we had better things to do, given the level of stimulation we'd received orally earlier in the evening and from Poco's excellent performance. Allman Bros were put on "back burner". So off it was to the girl's dorm for about twelve hours of each's personal "journey of discovery" (music courtesy of Moody Blues, "In Search of the Lost Chord" album). I didn't much notice Poco again until some years later when this came out. Now I have a whole new set of memories with which to deal. Or relish. Whatever.

Allman Bros vs. your own private entertainment in the girls dorm? No brainer...what's to second guess there?
And I'm shocked - simply SHOCKED - to know that those chicks in the band "Poco" were around as early as 1970.....I thought they came around in the later 70's, much to the chagrin of my somewhat-later generation that just wanted to hear FogHat, Zepellin, and The Nuge whilst seeking healthy coed-based stimulation in the backseat, or on the hood, trunklid or other available horizontal surface under the desert stars...

How'z at? Thinking is the best way to travel, drinking is not the best way to post....

Many good contributors, but Maddy Prior was the voice of the group. Imagine you have electric instruments in the eighteenth century and you get the idea. Nobody else ever did this...

Always had the impression he used a Gibson or something more closer to home. Born on the Bayou...with a Brit guitar? Cool, nevertheless!
#29: Re: Track of the day.... Author: JG300-Ascout, Location: CyberspacePosted: Sun Jan 25, 2009 5:52 pm ---- Give this one a chance, as Peter's getting old (ain't we all) and rambles a bit first.
I have a lot of that old Takoma label stuff from the John Fahey (founder) and Peter Lange and Leo Kottke days. Fahey is no longer with us, but 2 out of 3 ain't bad after over forty years.
This is twelve-string. Sound quality is EXCELLENT!
#30: Re: Track of the day.... Author: JG300-Ascout, Location: CyberspacePosted: Mon Jan 26, 2009 12:53 am ---- FINALLY! Somebody has posted this album in it's entirety.
It's hard to go wrong when you have an ensemble cast that includes:
David Crosby
Paul Kantner
Joni Mitchell
Grace Slick
Jerry Garcia
Phil Lesh
David Freiberg
Graham Nash
Bill Kreutzmann
Neil Young
Jorma Kaukonen
Jack Casady
That's pretty much the lineup for CSNY, Jefferson Airplane, and The Grateful Dead...plus Joni Mitchell and a few others.
