One end of the building cleared out, so I was able slip out to the cookshed for a safety meeting. I'm not a big fan of smoking when there are folks in the building, but I'm also not a big fan of skipping my after lunch smoke.

I'll tell you, amigo, there are some magical musical moments in my lifetine that I cannot be doing anything else but listening....absorbing, ya know? In all these years since I first heard it in the late 70s, I never play the title track Salisbury unless I've cleared the next 17 minutes of everything. So much goodness in that track, and most every note ingrained in my memory bank. Doesn't matter. Same for a large part of the LP.

My sister had the Demons and Wizards LP. {which I just figured out by looking at cover art on Google} I think I have some UH, but no clue which albums {CD's}.

When I have the time to devote to it, I'll give it a whirl.

Legendary bassist Tim Bogert is celebrating his 75th birthday today. Tim is best known as a founding member of Vanilla Fudge, Cactus and Beck, Bogert & Appice.

Besides his music, Tim also played a big part in the roll of another well known band. On Dec. 26, 1968, Vanilla Fudge was headlining a concert in Denver. Their agent wanted to put a new band on the bill, but the promoter didn't see the need for it and didn't want to change anything. To make the promoter go along with letting the band play the show, which by the way was their first concert in North America, Tim, along with fellow Vanilla Fudge bandmates Carmine Appice, Mark Stein and Vince Martell told the promoter they would pay half the costs for the new band to play on the show. The new band was Led Zeppelin.

How many of you have seen Tim play live in one of the bands he was in?

Happy Birthday Tim!!!! Thanks for your music and your decisions.
