Thanks for that link! Clearly, the archived version of that issue is of better quality than my copy! I see pages like this and wonder about being around that scene in those days, but the reality was "worship from afar." I think that's what makes it magical for me in the end - that it's "Music From Across the Big Swamp" (which is the way I related to it in those days). On the other hand, AACM was very much from this side (initially) and the "other" side (musically): Cozmozodiac/Triad Radio Guide (Sept. '71):

Early '74. Yes, Irmin would've been in Köln, but, in the end, they had no problem finding "roadies" I would think.

I remember seeing that video sometime, but the "novelty" is lost on me since I don't recognize any of the music. Still, I can sit and listen to mariachi for a good long time.

I have the occasional nightmare concerning the Cliffs of Moher. It was its regular cold and windy day there and I was wearing a long coat. While taking a photo, I accidentally stood on the bottom back of my coat. When I went to stand up from a crouching position, I lost my balance and instead of falling forward, I luckily fell backwards. Even the sometime thought of that moment gives me intense shivers.
