    From ``Jimmy Mac`` #1@707.WWIVNet@1:218/109 to All on Mon Jan 12 15:36:21 2015

    The other day I decided to relive a time in my teens by obtaining a few more CD's of music I used to listen to - WHile most of my friends were listening to
    the Beach Boys, Jackson 5, Barry Manilow etc... I was listening to Grand Funk Railroad, Bachman Turner Overdrive etc... So, I dropped by FYE in nearby Santa
    Rosa and baught some of the older stuff - WOW! Talk about a flashback! It was awesome listening to some good old fashioned R&R again! Even my wife enjoyed it. Sure beats a lot of the pop being played on our local FM stations.

    I have a few hundred vinyl LPs of great stuff... lots of art rock music like YES, Emerson Lake and Palmer, King Crimson, all the Beatles albums, Pink Floyd, Cream, Hendrix, Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath, Woodstock, and so on and so
    on. My daughters stole them all during moves like when I was divorced. They both have state of the art turntables now. My oldest is now the director of Marketing at Warner Brother's Records in Burbank and is sending me new vinyl that is coming out. Go figure!

    I'll have to mention to Julie that you're a Yes fan. While we were down south over the New Years holiday, we met up with an old schoolmate of hers who promptly put her on the phone with John Anderson. Was the highlight of her day! It helps that she grew up with his composer.

    Anyway, I managed to hang on to a couple of boxes of LP's as well but the turn
    table is in the loft with them. I really need to bring them all down someday. It's one of those USB turn tables so I can create MP3's while listening.

    I love Jon Anderson! He was shafted by the band as he was in the hospital with heart problems. They picked up a soundalike singer and went on with the band. He does some nice standup solo gigs lately and he is doing an album and
    tour with Jean Luc Ponty. They will be calling it the Anderson-Ponty band and
    you can see snippits on You-Tube.

    Julie was listening to him last night "Yesterdays"? I dunno - I'm more of a metal fan ;-) She's now holding a CD of "Tales of Topographical Oceans" in my face as I try to type this. <grin>

    Anyway, it was fun to hang out over breakfast with Stefan in Arroyo Grande.
