Never forget Southern Rock - Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker Band, Allman Brothers, Outlaws, Molly Hatchet, Little Feat, .38 Special, Black Oak Arkansas, Georgia Satellites, Atlanta Rhythm Section... to name a few. These brought the cliques of the kickers & the dopers together during the 70's & early 80's.

Now, Monica, these were concerts where the cowboy-hatted met the tie-dye T-shirt/tank top. Blue jeans were always chic, except at the open air stadium (in my case Mile High) where cut-offs & ice chests were the staple.

Beetle, I saw Tull on the Broadsword tour in the early 80's. What a treat for the senses! Awesome production! Have you a copy of the London Symphony Orchestra's recording of Jethro Tull's music? I have the LP, don't know if it's available on CD, but it's well worth a search. Their intricate composition and arrangements done by a full orchestra are mind blowing.

Does anyone remember the Alan Parsons Project? They did an entire album of songs based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe. That's a good Halloween Album!

Wow... Been so long since I had any of my vinyls out. I do have a lot of Tull, but don't recall that one. I have a multi-CD collection of rarities/radio programs that was released around 1990. Might have a LSO cover. Will need to check it out - again!

Here's the full title
A Classic Case - The London Symphony Orchestra Plays the Music of Jethro Tull

"Sting would be another person who's a hero - the music that he's created over the years - I don't really listen to it - but the fact that he's making it, I respect that." Hansel {he's so hot right now} Zoolander.

I will be sampling all that Beetle so thanks so much and I am so jealous that I wasn't a 70's wild child like you. The b&b owners we stayed with in Rainer were old hippies and told us we were like new hippies. Made me happy to hear that.

<Offended - NOT!> Now who's to say I'm WILD?
I'm sure there are members of my family, friends & childhood neighborhood that would agree. But I just have to me myself.

Had breakfast with college roommate this past Tuesday (hadn't seen nor much exchanging of anything in 30+ years). He just had just enrolled his youngest into our alma mater, University of Colorado. He was amazed that this retired pilot/officer steers away from the barber. I claim it's my spirituality toward my NA roots, that I spent many years having the close-cropped hairstyles and the fact that not spending on haircuts allows me to have a few pocket bucks to do what I please.

Okay, I might have a small streak of walking on the wild side.

Just discovered Rockin In The Free World. Love it!! This version is Neil Young & Pearl Jam.
