7/4

pick a winner.

I like to blow my nose into my hand with no kleenex. Let me welcome you to New York with a handshake.

It's a party!

Let me know what night, pm me. It's kind of early for me to know what show I'll be at, but I know I want to hit a few.

I have a friend who plays on the street in NYC and he's always complaning about business. Apparently you have to keep it simple with dumb pop songs to attract attention. Where exactly are you playing?

They're back at the VV for two weeks, 9/2006! I'm planning on going at least once if not twice or thrice.

Sure, but not since I had a backyard to look at.

Boing!

Happy Birthday! May you live long and post often.

Influential rocker Arthur Lee dies in Memphis Fri Aug 4, 2006 3:44 AM ET By Dean Goodman LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Arthur Lee, the eccentric singer/guitarist with influential 1960s rock band Love, died in a Memphis hospital on Thursday after a battle with leukemia, according to a Web posting by his manager. He was 61. "I am very sad to report that Arthur Lee died this afternoon in the hospital with his wife, Diane, by his side," Mark Linn said on a Love fan Web site. "This is still very much a shock for me as I had hoped Arthur would recover." The news was also relayed by Love's MySpace page. A telephone call to Linn was not immediately returned. An official at the Methodist University Hospital in Memphis declined to comment, citing patient confidentiality. Lee, a Memphis native who referred to himself as "the first so-called black hippie," formed Love in Los Angeles in 1965, emerging from the same scene as groups like the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, the Doors and the Mamas and Papas. The first multiracial rock band of the psychedelic era, Love recorded three groundbreaking albums fusing traditional folk rock and blues with symphonic suites and early punk. Bands as diverse as Led Zeppelin, Echo and the Bunnymen, and Siouxsie and the Banshees cited Love as an influence. The band's self-titled debut yielded the hit single "My Little Red Book," written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach. The 1967 follow-up, "Da Capo," was one of the first rock albums to feature a song, "Revelation," that took up an entire side. A third release, 1968's "Forever Changes," which boasted adventurous horn and string arrangements, is considered Love's bold response to the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's" album. Rolling Stone magazine ranked it at No. 40 on its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. But Love, which rarely left Los Angeles, lost momentum as Lee hired new musicians and pursued a solo career. Various reunions amounted to little, and Lee's eccentricities landed him in a California prison for six years during the 1990s for firing a pistol into the air. After being released in late 2001, Lee assembled a new version of Love and toured Europe and North America, often playing "Forever Changes" in its entirety. Earlier this year, Lee was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. In May, facing certain death after three rounds of chemotherapy failed, he became the first adult in Tennessee to undergo a bone marrow transplant using stem cells from an umbilical cord, according to The (Memphis) Commercial Appeal. Doctors said the procedure lifted his chances of survival only moderately, the newspaper said. Several benefit concerts were held in Britain and the United States to help Lee with his medical bills. Former Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant headlined a benefit in New York in June.

But today isn't April 1st.

I was at that show in Philly and Gentle Giant was not there.

Johnny and Edgar Winter - Tell The Truth Yep. Same show!

This one is the best Johnny Winter & Edgar - Together - Live That's it. I wish I had that on CD.

Not letting the wife any friends, not letting the hubby have any of his friends over to watch sports?

I'll grab him from behind and you guys start tickling him.

How about (6) Excessive cd music expenditure? see item #2 yer a pro BM... :eye:

Maybe Sun Ra thought that Gilmore was so important to the sound of his band that he didn't want anyone else using him? Just a crazy thought...

BTW. the NSA was just here looking for you.

Oh yeah. There's even a OOP album they together did for Blue Sky, called Together. Frankenstein was originally a showcase for Edgar to join brother JWs band for encores. I'm pretty sure they did this at Woodstock, but it wasn't filmed. When Legacy reissued Second Winter, they included a 2nd disk with Live at Royal Albert Hall, 4/17/1970 that includes an early version with double drums.

I saw him about 10 years ago and he was still using the ARP. It sounded amazing in that club/dinner theatre.

Some of them be really sick, like manic-depression or something.
