70's Classic Rock: Arte y Pico 2008-08-16 10:01:43 When I first started 70's Classic
Rock, I was just taking a trip back, to the music and the memories of my teen years, which were the 70's. Never did I imagine that someone or anyone would have stopped, read and enjoyed my posts. Well, Carol from She Lives stopped, read and chose to honor me with the "Arte y Pico" award. Thank you Carol.Take a minute to visit her site. Here's what she says about i
Santana - "Festival" and the Ritual of Vinyl 2008-08-11 23:13:23 This is a special post to celebrate today, "Vinyl
Record Day" - August 12, 2008. Thanks to JB at The Hits Just Keep on Comin' for the invite to participate.I have a lot of memories of my vinyl record days. The most common of course is gently placing the record on a turntable spindle. Sliding the retaining arm over to hold it and flipping the springed switch to start the mesmerizing spin. I would s Read more:Santana

Isaac Hayes: Composer, Performer, Humanitarian 2008-08-10 20:55:01 I was checking the news today and came across a headline. "Soul Legend IsaacHayes
Dead at 65". After reading the headline, the first thing that came to mind was the theme to "Shaft". A song I had heard over and over while I was growing up and quite frankly never tired of it. A wickedly, smooth beat with no instrument left out. Drums, guitars, bass, keyboards, horns and the all too familiar deep v Read more:Performer

Summer Jams II: California Jam 4.6.74 2008-08-09 21:53:27 Recently, on a sales call, to a good friend and client, I was given a copy of a newspaper article entitled "One day in 1974...". Thanks to Randy for his "keepin' an eye out". He said it would make a good story for my "Summer
Jams" series. The article appears on the "California
Jam" website and was originally written by David Allen and appeared on April 4, 2002 in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin (
Love Songs: Gotta Have Them!!! 2008-09-12 07:26:06 I've been influenced by my friend Sondan at Everything Old Is New Again and her post Love Songs
of the 70's.Ever since my earlier, impressionable music listening days, the songs that have always stayed with me are those sappy love songs. "Ya, that's right. I'll be a man and admit it! I dig those love songs." Wow, that wasn't hard at all.As a young kid they seemed to so perfectly capture the essenc Read more:Gotta
Where were you on 9-11-01? 2008-09-11 07:39:42 On this day of the 7th Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, I'm taken back to that morning at work, when a broadcaster broke into my morning music announcing that a commercial airliner crashed into the World Trade Center. Raising the volume so I wouldn't miss a detail of the report, I was able to pickup the anxiousness in the speakers voice.We immediately turned on a small tv someone had in their offi

Queens of Rock III: Janis Joplin 2008-10-19 13:18:44 "Turn that down NOW!" Mom would always yell when I'd play my Pearl album. All she seemed to hear was a scratchy, yelling woman. That was her description, older generation and all, of this bluesy, raspy singer's voice. Me on the other hand, I was engrossed and captured by the sound and emotions of Janis Joplin.Here was a lady that seemed to be bigger than life. When I saw her on the Dick Cavett Sho Read more:Queens
