Actually this started out as an ode to a Freddie King lp, and an observation that a number of the licks on this sixties lp are regurgitated pretty well by EC in the seventies. I'm neither nuts about EC nor as harsh toards his work as some here. But considering some of the tangents that threads take here by many board membrs this discussion of EC is nothing spectacular in a red herring way. And hey, we could talk more about Freddie King and it wouldn't hurt my feelings! I doubt the two Atlantic cds are still in print, but they're awesome: Freddie King is a Blues Master and and My Feeling for the Blues. They've got cats like Wess, King Curtis, Joe and David Newman, Latiste and more on board as well.

Witches and Devils and Vibrations were also released on Debut after My Name is Albert Ayler. I had been thinking that the "First Sessions" lps had appeared on Debut, but I guess not. Those sessions are amazing! These first recordings are the ones that remind me of the 1964 Mingus in part.

I too am intrigued by Hindu/Tibetan etc. art.

Ancient art of Egypt fascinates me.

Poles like these are powerful to be around!

I like Manet quite a bit.

Yes, I wish I knew about this label as well. I was struck listening to Ayler's earliest recordings that had originated on this label by how much they sounded in ways similar to the Mingus music of 1964 with Dolphy and Jordan. . . .

Many of us have seen Roger Dean's paintings. . . .

Kelly Freas has done some interesting paintings. . . .

Here's a nice one! Page this is from: http://www.2multiples.com/hotdance/thecat/

Ah, "The Cat"--I love that little guy; I know him most from the illustration they use in the "This is Jazz" series of sets on Jazzology: The Cat is waiting outside the maternity ward an expectant father and looks at his watch and shouts out "YIKES! I'm about to miss THIS IS JAZZ!" I'm pretty sure that if you scanned that illustration into your computer and say put it on your desktop you could then upload the image to Organissimo to use as your avatar. . . .

Oh Gosh, I couldn't tell!

Alright fine, believe me, I'm not jesting about paranoid wives, and maybe I have a limited sense of humor. Don't mean to offend you, but don't want to be a part of your continuing little jollies either.

Please don't see this as a flame, but an honest report of my feelings about the matter: No, jeez louise it sure is important to contribute, and I do, it's just all you ever seem to do here on these threads, to me, is ridicule someone, or make some sort of joke that YOU think is funny. And I'm not even talkin' about your OTHER personalities when they appear which you think are a lot funnier than I do. I've donated to campaigns, and I've talked to a lot of fellow voters. It may not have the results that I desire, but I feel like I'm doing something else besides being a "funny guy." And I don't post on a lot of these threads because. . . well I get my humor elsewhere.

Yeah another funny.

She appears to have stopped recording, but I don't fully know why. I really like World Galaxy, Trancendence and Eternity (and the Impulses of John's that she "worked over"). . . wish I could hear those not on cd.

NO, the real innovator in playing USA styled guitars is Buck Owens, especially that 1976 Bicentennial Martin guitar he sported (not pictured here)

Is Wally Wood art? I'd hope so, I love his work.

Maybe an off day or some such; I saw him in 1974 and 1975 and he was the master and commander!

I truly adore B. B. King, I just don't see a B. B. influence as a major component of Clapton's style. . . .(s). Man, I have to get me some of the reissues of the Crown and Modern (?) B. B. material; I used to have lps of these that I played and partyed into oblivion. Bedrock stuff! Also B. B. was one of the two performers that I have seen (and I've seen him several times over several decades) that COMMANDED an audience. The audience was HIS. The other was Stevie Wonder. I saw him silence a stadium of fans simply by talking very quietly into the microphone on stage. Thousands of people would be quiet and lean forward to hear every word he was saying. There are few enetertainers with the commanding charisma they have.

Yeah, laughing things off seems to be the modus operandi. I'm a little more sober about my beliefs.

McCartney is one of the persons I least want to hear plugged or unplugged! I just totally dislike his voice and personality. . . . Just one of those things!

No, and that kindof stuff is not even funny. I'll simply talk to those that listen and I've already gotten some results.

I like Klimt a lot. There is in fact a lot of variety in his work, and I like his incorporation of "classical" elements, metals and his dreamy subjects and colors.

Okay, I've never bought an "Unplugged" cd in my life!
