I like this thread, it allows me to show my rather strange and varied tastes in music

How could I resist...

Ok, I'm going to give you one more before taking a rest from this as I'm having too much fun with it. I got a thing for old music... and here's one of my favorites sung by one of the greats. To think this almost didn't happen as Cab thought no one would care for his music at that time, it wasn't modern enough or "cool"he believed.

Your dad was a pretty cool dude then. Cab was awesome, good thing a lot of the main stream didn't understand what some of his lyrics meant, they would have censored him into oblivion.

I know we have Bob Dylan fans here. This was written about him by someone who knew him intimately...

We both know what memories can bring, they bring diamonds and rust!

 

Yeah, I've got the blues again!

Ha! Way back when, I was selling top-end hi-fi systems for a living, and the Doobie's Toulouse Street was among our demo albums. As was Isaac Hayes' soundtrack from the movie Shaft - pretty good movie, great soundtrack!

We had a near-acoustically perfect demo room, and we had the quadrophonic mix of Dark Side of the Moon on reel-to-reel. After hours, we'd often settle in for a private session. DSOTM was mind blowing in quad!

 

 

Now where was I? Oh yes, cooking dinner!

I heard all sorts in that track Cody; a bit of Jefferson here, a bit of Syd Barrett there and certainly a touch of Doors amongst a whole host of others. Great! 😎 

Now.....what I can only describe as a "bass workout" 🙃

Feeling a bit uppity today, so may as well pay tribute to another pioneer from days past. This is one of my favorites, and I hope you like it too. (I've always wanted to say that)

Ian Gillan and Robert Plant, eh?

 

I love that Chris Foss ship! Right up there with his Foundation cover art!

Ah, Chris Foss! Well Cody, now you have gone and done it! Walk with me now through the 2nd golden age of sci-fi in this series of videos. All the usual suspects are in attendance including, of course, Chris Foss, Peter Elson, Angus Mckie, Tim White and John Berkey, amongst others. Some of these images I have not seen in over 40 years! It's in 5 parts.
