Wanted to add a little mullet action in. How 'bout some Nitty Gritty Dirt Band?
Oh sure loved these guys. Their "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" album was ground breaking. A big influence on me and the type of music I started playin in the band.
What can you say about the Young RascalsFelix is an acquaintance of mine. He is a good friend of one of my best friends, and lives in Nashville, I enjoy visiting and having lunch with him, sometimes Henry Gross (Sha Na Na) and Steve Cropper join him at my friend's restaurant and everyone down there gets sentimental about the old days and of course- New York! Ringo Starr has yet to show up but hopefully I will be there when he does. However, Felix is a wonderful guy and he is kind and friendly. Henry Gross is a cut up. I consider Felix a legend and a true Rock talent and am proud to know him and be a fan. Sorry if I sound like Ron by telling you guys this.

"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
Love Nashville BTW.....spent 3 months in the fall of '85 remodeling the Days Inn at the top of hill on Broadway near Music Row. We'd eat at a little diner and when I turned around one day there was Reba sitting at the next table.
Nashville is a great place and I saw the most expensive pair of cowboy boots there, $2000. We did the Grand Ole Opry, Boots Randolf's club, and the old Riemann Theater. Seeing the live opry show was the best.

Yep!!! I was a 10min. walk from a very famous Bluegrass club, The Station Inn.
Nashville is an interesting place these days and as you know it isn't just "country" anymore. My friend meets people like Dave Matthews, John Paul Jones, Bonny Raite, and a whole host of country stars. When he moved there he was in hospitality at a Opreyland Hotel in fine dining so he got to wait on most every legend of Country music from the past 50 years. Lately jazz and rock stars have taken up there and the best session musicians are in residence in 'Music City." It is cheaper than NYC or LA and a good place to raise kids. Interestingly, Robert Plant has been at my friend's ex-wife's house for a BBQ. His ex (a Rotterdam girl) is best friends with a singer named Allyson Krause. John Waite was often there when they were a couple. Of course my friend's then-14 year old son didn't see what the fuss was about when we were pretty much aghast and bug eyed over it. He just thought he was some old, craggly and skinny English guy with a giant head and tiny body who sang oldies 40 years ago. We felt a little differently about having a rock god come to your backyard picnic. On the other hand, Felix is a lot like any Italian American guy you might meet at the bar at Canali's Restaurant. As a matter of fact the next time he plays Albany we may send him there.
Again, I apologize for sounding like DVOR in mentioning my acquaintances with these various performers.

Wow- look at you !
didn't plant and Krause win a Grammy- year before last ?
I think the Rascals were a pretty legitimate group- but ask Felix next time you see him if they burned the pics of them dressed up in the beginning as the ' little rascals '- that was hilarious

Love Alison. Met her when she was a teen at the Winterhawk (now Greyfox) bluegrass festival. The guitar player in her band here, Union Station, is Dan Tyminski. He's from Vermont and I've had the pleasure of sharing a stage with him on several occasions. Dan is the singing voice of George Clooney in the O' Brother film. I've had the pleasure of "shakin' a howdy" with many of the bluegrass greats. That's one thing that's so cool about a bluegrass festival the performers are very accessible and happy to spend time "Chewin' the fat" or pickin' with you. Ok GB we need to stop the name droppin'
BTW I actually like the Keith Whitley version of this better, but that's just me.

I was thinking of Savoy Brown this morning, and came across this. What's interesting is that it's from TW's Sounding Board series. The other guitar player is David Malachowski. I met Dave when he was going to high school at Shenendahowa at one of his teacher's apartment. The teacher was a friend of mine. Dave went on to some fame, played with Janie Fricke, put together Shania Twain's first tour band. He also wrote music reviews for the TU among others, and wrote a very nice review of show we played at Central Park. We were the opener for a Zydeco Band (can't remember the name). We also had the chance to do the Sounding Board show, and I have a copy on VHS that I'm eventually gonna get up on Youtube. (Ok sorry 'bout the name drop and personal reference, won't happen again)

dont remember - but do remember ' Tell Mama " but how come nobody's mentioned Humble Pie ' Smokin '
First heard this in Glens Falls on the car radio tuned into a Buffalo station. Evokes memories of lost love, wandering aimlessly through 1969 America and the start of the "supergroup" era.
