Quote:LOL! Well I don't know if I'd class Mr. Gallagher as bright but he does have a point! He was bluffing about the deodorant.

Quote:"At a beach house in Malibu that the Buffalo Springfield had rented, I set up my big amps, we (Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Miles, Bruce Palmer and Steven Stills) ... just went. We played quite literally for twenty straight hours. We must have made up fifty songs, but there was no tape running, no nothing, we just played for the ocean .... and that night I really started to learn how to play lead guitar"~ Steven StillsI wish I had been invited to that one.Wow, me too! Never heard of that one.Hendrix is the man, but Neil Young and Steve Stills are pretty darn good in their own right! Ern

Quote:Yeah, Ern, what a night that must have been. I've been a Stills fan most of my life. I saw him walk on stage solo one night with an acoustic guitar and a banjo, it was one of the most entertaining nights of my life. I couldn't clap long enough or loud enough. "Great" doesn't begin to describe him.Wasn't there a record with Steve Stills and Mike Bloomberg (?) on opposite sides? Some guitar oriented album.I remember some article that called Stills' vocals "moderately O.K." or some such B.S. Man, Stills sang like a bird! (sure, maybe on pot or tequila etc.! HeHeh! --- Remember on "Black Queen" (live) he gave a nod to Jose Cuervo!) He has a really unique voice.I love Neil Young, too. A real artist.Ern

Quote:"... everyone was using tiny brushes and doing watercolors, while Jimi Hendrix was painting galactic scenes in Cinemascope. We are working in a field of mystical resonance, sound and vibration... that's what makes people cry, laugh and feel their hair stand up ... "~ Carlos SantanaGreat quote --- my feelings exactly. Hendrix is Da Man!Ern

Quote:Frank Zappa's another one .. I loved Frank Zappa ... I saw Zappa live a few times --- one concert some jazz guy opened for him, and tried to play "fusion" through Marshall stacks, etc. It really sucked. Then Zappa got on stage and completely BLEW THE OTHER GUY AWAY! It was so amazing. What a player!Ern

Quote:Hey Drew,Forgive my ignorance, but I thought Jimmy Page was a member of the Yardbirds for awhile.I'm sure he played on at least one of their albums... ?Yes he was a member of the Yardbirds for awhile! He played on many other UK records in the mid-60's, like the fuzzy solo on Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man."Ern

So where do you all get these quips and factoids anyhoo? Your library cards must have the ink worn off... Got any history on Blackmore before Deep Purple?

Quote:Steve Howe is one of the greatest, most imaginative guitars players I've ever witnessed.Yes, he is! I'm a BIG Yes fan, and have seen them many, many times. Howe sure is unique stylistically. How many rock guitarists play through Fender Twins? Too clean, but perfect for Howe. And his slide/steel guitar playing is fantastic.Ern

Never heard of him... Why does he roll stones?

Quote:"...Surrender your whole being into a note, and gravity disappears ... with one chord, John Lee Hooker could tell you a story as deep as the ocean..."~ Carlos SantanaThere ya go! Drew. where do you get these great quotes!? I love 'em!Ern
