Robin Trower - The Fool and Me.

Got to introduce the band when I was a DJ many, many years ago. Stepped backstage, was 30 feet from Robin when they lit off this song....

Strato, cool link thanks. I'm also a huge fan of Boz Scaggs, in fact I was listening one of his albums earlier, Dig. I love to put that album through my amp, and play along.

Rhumba, Jethro Tull, now's there's a blast from the past. A friend of mine, turned me on to them a good number of years ago. In fact if memory serves me, I met the guy who played keys with Jethro Tull.

Ceri, full of useful information as usual, thanks for your imput mate.




I kid you not......... the old keys player from Tull had a sex change a few years back and is now an English old lady..... I'm serious as a heart attack here, it was in the papers over here bout 5 years ago.

I was lucky enough to see Jethro Tull in 93 and 00. My Dad always had them on when I was a kid and I grew to love them and he took me when I was 11, then as a young adult I made my own way. Ian Anderson and Martin Barre are brilliant!!

Hey SBLS, how's trix dude? This story reminds me of a Motorhead gig I went to years ago, the drummer " Filthy Phil Taylor" was a nutter :lol: He tossed a drumstick into the crowd, I was in the front row. I made a grab for the stick, and suddenly found myself under about 100 bikers :lol: I got the stick though :wink:

I also like BeBop Deluxe...still have their Live in the Air Age lp.

The song that sticks with me is Alone Again Or by Arthur Lee and Love. I had a crush on a neighbor (unrequited) and the song was on the radio at the time (late 60s). It made a big impressin on me because of the arrangement and melody. I still listen to Forever Changes on a weekly basis; it's such a comprehensive album.
