7/4

I have so many pedals, a lot of them I'm not even sure I needed them when I bought them. But...that one is pretty inexpensive.

Phew.

Happy Birthday Joe!

Exactly what he said. I never really dug festivals.

Wow, man. My Dad's been listening to that station since I was a little kid or at least forever. .

time to adjust the brightness on your monitor. Or get more sleep.

It's Al Roker!

Me2.

They're back, they just not grateful. .

No, you're the guy who helps us load in. I can still do that. I'm planning on check a friend out at a NJ place next week, if it looks OK, I'll get contact info for u guyz.

Should I be making suggestions for places I've never been to? I'm at the end of a few years where I haven't been out to clubs much. dB

Classical musicians (& composers too) have the same problem - lack of jobs. There was a series of articles in the NY Times a few years ago about how most folks who went to the big music schools in NY didn't even end up working in the business. Once a musician gets a job in an orchestra or teaching in the school, they hold on to it for life. So there isn't much room for anybody else....

OK, ok ok, ok...slowly backing away. Anyway...it was a new fresh sound at the time.

Sheesh! I was just referring to the early polysynths from the late '70s.

Even if they're analog??? .

I'll defer to you there - I don't think I ever heard Asia or UK. UK was a super group without a hit. Asia was a pop group providing employment for former progrockers without a band. I've heard the first UK album - quite mediocre in my opinion. I've always been surprised to hear some people describe it as a classic. Guy It is. I was digging my Bruford albums waiting for him to do something new after Crimson and his first solo album showed up in the store at the same time as the UK album. Both of these albums sounded new and fresh - prog was pretty much over by '78. I think he was in Genesis for a short period of time, but recordings didn't show up until a few years later. edit: my bad - Genesis - Seconds Out, a live recording with Bruford on came out in '77, but I didn't really notice it at the time. It's interesting that he played with them, but he wasn't a member of the group. Plus, polyphonic synths were still pretty new at the time. Not every keyboard player had one.

Happy Birthday dood!

Are we going to have a secret handshake and decoder rings?

It is!

That's some mighty fine loopy insane music! I like that flute line in the begining. dB

Progressive rock evolved from Psychedelic rock. dB

Happy Birthday! dB

I'm still a little fuzzy on where people think these 2 genres started (pre-Mahavishnu). There were a lot of experimental albums coming out in 1967 on both sides of the Atlantic. Can it be traced back pre-1967? I think progrock started with the Beatles or the Moody Blues. Larry Coryell always takes credit for starting Jazz Rock fusion. I don't know where or when, ask Larry. There are other kinds of fusion too, of course.
