Honestly, and truly not trying to be unfriendly even though sometimes email seems like that without the tone of voice, how can you like the early guys and not the direct descendent? Its not like Cecil Taylor, Albert Ayler or the later Coltrane. And, on top of that to name Styx and ELO as favs? Man, even in high school we thought those were for the uneducated, do you include Starship and Peter Frampton in that list? :-) Really, Im enjoying this discussion and I hope no one takes offense. Its a nice break from a busy season and the mental effort of technical learning.... My biggest crowd experience was at intermission for Ahmad Jamal, in a packed bar. I did improve a couple of bad treble unisons which he had thrilled me by standing up and pounding on with his whole arm during one solo, very effective in context but not what you want to see as a tuner. I got out of the show with everyone happy but it was nerve wracking for 15 noisy minutes. --Dave New Orleans Hechler Family wrote: > Not to mention my beloved artists from my era - the 70's - ELO, STYX, > HEAD EAST, and the like. > > > >
