Good Wednesday Morning My Friends!

I'm starting today off with the beautiful...

Carpenters - singles 1969-1981

and it truly is Yesterday Once More!

Now the magical...

Mahavishnu Orchestra- Birds of Fire

View attachment 47809

This is THE album that turned me on to all things jazz/rock/fusion...they blew my mind!

I was lucky enough to see this group in concert in the 70s. Blew my mind live like seeing King Crimson live back then.......

Imagine if they could have added Miles Davis and turned it into another double SACD.

You're a lucky dog!!! I bet they were incredible to watch live! I saw John McClaughlin during his Belo Horizonte tour around 81' and my first King Crimson concert was about the same time on their Discipline tour.... they did completely blow my mind....and I haven't been the same since! I think that's a good thing...

Imagine if they could have added Miles Davis and turned it into another double SACD.

I don't know how one "band" could contain so many fantastic musicians....McLaughin, Hammer, Cobham, Goodman and Miles Davis?!!? I think they would have exploded!

Starting to dig deep. The ones with dust on them..

Tumbling into this one
Each album has it's own distinct personality.
Got a strong connection with Elton here.

Just listened to Tumbleweed last night. It has always been my favorite EJ album!

I beg your pardon

Lynn Anderson Rose Garden & Greatest Hits

About four years ago, I was visiting my daughter at college. She was listening to music her classmates were turning her onto, and she asked me if I ever heard a song called "Rose Garden." I started singing it and surprised both of us: she because I knew the song and myself because I remembered so many of the words! Ah, AM radio in the 70s. When D-V put this out, I jumped on it; never would have had my daughter not asked me about the song. A song I thought was a steaming pile of fecal matter when it came out turned out to be a lovely trip down memory lane. And not too shabby in the POLLS!

Todd Rundgren - Liars DVDA 2004
A great later Todd album that has a very blues-Motown lean.
