yup I have a pile of vinyl myself..... have been trying to get out and see the live acts that are still left, from back then/ while I still can.... Last year, I got a chance to see Steve Winwood.... I hope I have a 2nd chance to see him.... show was better than I could have imagined, he did songs all the way back his days with "Traffic" and did a few songs from before that even... Spencer Davis days...… maybe next time I can get closer seats, they looked like ants from the balcony...…his daughter was the "opening act" and she came out midway thru his set and did some background vocals for him. Only bad thing about that one, was parking in downtown Chicago for 3-1/2 to 4 hours cost me as much as each ticket for me and my wife.
John Barleycorn and Dear Mr Fantasy, were "long" songs on vinyl....he stretched them out even longer, on stage..... have seen Paul McCartney and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, 2x each.... plus a few others......
on another musical note, my wife's brother died, back last Thanksgiving week. In talking to the funeral people, they were asking about the kind of songs he liked, and though the woman from the funeral home that I talked to, recognized and remembered growing up with most of the songs that I mentioned, the Home didn't have any/ and I wound up putting together 2 burnt CD's of the kind of tunes he liked (much of the same tunes that I miss) the 1st time I have ever put together a "soundtrack" if you will, for any kind of event.
In putting this together via Google, I got into some stuff I hadn't heard in YEARS, and once I was done, went back to George Harrison, and spent over 1/2 the night playing songs from him that I hadn't heard in like forever..... these were solo things from his days after the Beatles. (I only used 1 of his songs on the CD that I assembled) I put some Rush, some Steely Dan, Eagles, Zeppelin, Simple Minds ("breakfast club" movie song), and more....
from back in the day when I could hear and understand what was being said in the lyrics.... something missing from today's noise.....
and something I miss from my summers spent going from one car show/ cruise nite to another, as much as the cars on display /was the music that always in the background.
