Todd's A Wizzard and 10CC's Sheet Music are just wonderful, creative and a little off center in the best possible way.
I wasn't familiar with Carlos Santana - Blues For Salvador before your mention. Greatly enjoyed todays listen of it.
I recently saw Carlos on tour. While he now sits for most of the show (exhibiting the Biden shuffle when he does ambulate) he sure can still rock and run around his guitar.
P'cola Gerry
It’s a strange record. It’s actually Santana outtakes and leftovers that Carlos dressed up. When bought it in 1987, I didn’t know that. I just dug it. But now that I know, I can hear it. Still some great playing.
Just upgraded my stylus and A Wizard is on its way to the house. Had that album when it was first released and still vividly recall his phantom potus run.
What do you think of Rick Beato's Todd Rundgren interview. Pretty interesting discussion.
I enjoyed it, though I was a bit disappointed that Beato wasn't his usual inquisitive self. He basically just sat there nodding and saying "Yeah. Right. Okay. Right." Todd did all the talking. For me it was a missed opportunity.
