Oh for the good days to be here again! :(

[Finless]

It's 5 to 1 am on Friday morning and I have just spent a pleasant 90 mins or so blasting out some great tracks from my fave musos which are currently available to watch on YouTube.

Most of you won't care, some of you may disagree but and a few may agree with me that the world was a much nicer and freer place back 'then'. Everyone was still enjoying the good times that had arrived after the shortages post WW2 followed by the 60s and I was only 12.

There used to be a musician called Jimi Hendrix and there also used to be a supergroup called Cream. Cream split and; oh FFS, just watch and enjoy if you can.

Just an aside to add to my smugness, back in those days people actually could play their instruments and were really plugged in to their amps etc and played live. Oh how I miss TOGWT.

My ears are ringing and I have doubtless just increased the volume of my background tinitus but ........ just one more time tonight.

I was brought up in Malta during the late 60's as my dad was stationed there. School finished at 14:00hrs because of the heat so most of my childhood was spent by the sea. I remember listening to Hendrix, cream ect even though I was only eight as the younger soldiers in my dad's barracks used to buy the records, so whenever I hear Along the watchtower or sunshine of your love it always takes me back to trips to the barracks with my dad at the weekends (my dad used to run a film club so I got to see all the x films) One memory that has always stuck with me was being on a beach one day near a group of soldiers who, obviously worse for drink broke into song singing "sloop John B" by the beach boy's. despite the beautiful water and warm weather most where homesick and desperate to get back to Edinburgh

The only black dot on the horizon was once the 70's started we had to endure the "new bl**dy seekers"

Music is more accessiable than ever, and mostly free of cencorship...

...The only problem is you have to sift through all the crap thats pumped out to get to the juicy bits

[Letz]

Oh yeah ! Cream. God I loved Cream, of course I was too young to appreciaite them when they were first playing but I had a cassette recording of a double Cream album that I frequently listened to while in the bath.

Being a poor young thing most of my good music was recorded from mate's albums and I used to destroy my hearing on the Marylebone line on the way to work with a "Walkman"

IIRC I used to listen to a lot of Steve Hillage then while falling asleep with the most magnificent images

Oh I feel like a Radio Gnome time coming on. I'd forgotten that album for a while.
