Finding good new music isn't that hard. There are so many college stations and every one is available on-line now days. But you have to listen to the not so good to get to the good. You can also go onto any streaming service and ask for suggestions within certain criteria. Just don't expect to find new stuff when you won't listen to anything from this century. The best option if you really care, is to start hanging out on music and audio forums and both asking for suggestions but also listening to anything suggested. It doesn't take too long to find a few people that recommend stuff that you like and then backtrack their posts for more suggestions, or just ask them. While I love classic rock as much as the next person, I mostly listen to newer music these days. Just not the pop drivel played on radio stations and given awards from MTV. |

Russ Walling wrote: I just watched that a few nights ago, Russ, and I felt the same way. He was a show stopper. Santana stepped aside and just let him go. Michael Shrieve ... here he is today.  John (Old Trad Guy) and I both have a thing for Ten Years After. Watching Alvin Lee play lightening-fast, and sing I'm Goin' Home like only he could do... oh geez. Here's what I miss: we were able to sit still for a group like CSNY and totally enjoy a long serenade like Suite Judy Blue Eyes. No one has that kind of patience today. Donovan. Arlo. And in the next breath, Alvin Lee. |

My favorite Ten Years After song is One of These Days. I love the version on the Recorded Live album from Germany. |

Hint- one key to finding extra style points is to have your own personal scream, screech or cuss. Use it at the proper moment and your golden. OLH…. To explore music go get yourself a Pandora account- I recommend the $5 account so no irritating adds- think of a song, punch it in and it will play- then another song will auto play- thumbs down if you don’t like it, thumbs up if you like. You build channels of music you like. So I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. |

Russ Walling wrote: This brought back a cool memory for me. On August 19, 1994 I was backstage at the Santa Barbara County Bowl watching Santana's opening act (which I seem to recall was a Japanese salsa band!). This guy comes up to the side-stage barrier next to me and starts totally bopping to the opening band. He taps me on the arm and goes, "Wow, these guys are really great!" |

I have a sore knuckle on my R middle finger, probs from pulling on a pockety problem at the gym. Weather is all fucked up too. Sitting in the sun (first we’ve had for ages) drinking 10% barrel aged cherry beer. |

I loved, still love, Monty Python!!! I guess there must be some ‘British genes’ in me somewhere ( pretty unlikely for someone of Eastern European Jewish heritage but…). I also enjoy the humor if some if the British climbing writers, particularly Tom Patey. |

Carl, Is this the right Forum for an argument? Monty Python was huge in the US, particularly after it started showing on PBS (and, of course, after The Holy Grail). Dave Evans and I put up a route in Josh in 1976 named after one of the episodes: Full Frontal Nudity. https://www.mountainproject.com/route/105721993/full-frontal-nudity |
