...lol...can't believe the clothes we wore back then....shirts unbuttoned halfway down to show of our chest and gaudy necklace. ...Yeah Baby !!!
Can't forget the bell bottom pants & nay-roo (forgive the spelling) jackets. The days of Brillcream, Vitalas & Aqua velva or your dads Old spice.
Wow, what a deep old Flashback...(someone call a doctor please)... From Stone Mt., Hotlanta, Athens, Macon, and every where in b/t... NTM- Woodstock II, held at Bryan, GA. Just a jaunt away from ye' - 59, ... (I damn near bought a house in Bryan)... Those early to latter 70s, Bands from Joe-Jah, were a great, fine ballast to music of that time, then and still now...a Hot Spot for Dixie blends of Music, .. From Mothers Finest, to:- B52s, REM, The Allman Bros., Ray Charles-(prior)...and/or a ton of other Party House Bands back then til present day... From= Nehru or turtlenecks, to those over-sized collars, hanging over the wide lapel sport coats.....platforms, I never got into those white shoes, white belt, tho', and had 2 left feet under the 'mirror balls'..... I haven't heard anyone mention 'Mothers Finest', since 96, and originally thru the 73-76, when I spent 2 months of Summer, hitting up nightclubs, in Hotlanta, to Macon, to Athens, and Stone Mt, thru Marietta, and around again... or down to F-L-A, where KC and the Sunshine Band were the closer highlight band, for Disney World's Opening Day/Week-Grand Festival Mothers Finest often brings back to mind, a similar band in some ways; ie, Little Feat.... The first time I ever heard Lowell George's band, I was told: "You'll love 'em Rob; they play a cowboy boogie soul funk bluesy R&B, with a helluva great slide riff", ....
...Lowell George (RIP) and Little Feat...Nicolette Larson sang with them a bit...and the "Woodstock II" in Byron....I was there, Matts.
Wow, its called strategy asshole. Like I've said Ron some people should never be allowed to use a microphone.
incredible Ron....why I twisted Byron into Bryan, shit old timers disease (again).....shit, I've been hanging around Rick too long..... Yeppers, I loved Nicolette as much as Russ Kunkel, (old Jackson Browne band drummer, as you already know)....Loved Nicolette's work with on Neil Young's Classics: American Stars and Bars, (with Rondstadt & Larson ie "the bullets"); then Nicolette on "4 Strong Winds" and "Lotta Love", tho' Nicolette's "lotta' love" version was much better. Larson's vocals soared like no other woman I've heard since, every bit as much as Linda Rondstadt IMO, her "In the Nick of Time" was EPIC...!!! ........and her LP was a smashing success, but ya' already knew this, sorry to reiterate.....~~! I heard Nicolette, with Hoyt Axton, (the Banana Band) open for Joan Baez in 75, then- making big waves as a vocalist in LA; soon too follow up with Neil, have her bigger hit of His tune, and went on to some great work with Emmylous Harris-"Hello Stranger", and one of my many other favorites-Rodney Crowell (Cro-well)....and of course a ton of others, Michael McDonald 'Let Me Go, Love' et al... 2 trivias: Nicolette was the Maid of Honor at Eddie Van Halen's marriage to Valerie Bertinelli...' many forget Nicolette's version of: "I'd Die For this Dance" with Jeff- (fkng incredible) -Beck...
59- I bet you have this bookmarked, man this woman's long gorgeous hair and sweetheart vocals were the bomb....at the time of her 1st big single 'lotta love', I was dating this chick, who had hair very similar to Nicolette's and, ....... whoops, we won't go there, (but boyo was it fkng good no it was GREAT), even tho' the chick became a head case, not Nicolette, my goyl friend then......and I couldn't get enough of either......
Here's one for ya' Rick, .... damned I know how this guy feels, McDonald's stay away..... http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/dont-miss/93233927-story
...thanx Matts...and yeah, I've got everything Nicky ever did...still makes me so sad that she's gone...hard to believe. ...and Jeff Beck and David Gilmore are my 2 fav guitarists.
...^^^ Touche My Friend, its nice to chat with "like minded" music fans, .... not only 'like minded', but your depth, scope, knowledge of Music, we both enjoy, is 2nd to none..... if I don't say so myself, and I did just that, said so... Jeff Beck and David Gilmour, both Grrrr-rate; epic icons, as good as it ever gets... "With the oil of Aphrodite, and the dust of the Grand Wazoo", music soothes the savage beast, and "will cure your asthma too".....
...^^^ Now is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho? Or a Slaughterhouse bloody poncho? Don't you know, you could make more money as a butcher? "jazz isn't dead, it just smells funny"... -FZ- “Interviewer: 'So Frank, you have long hair. Does that make you a woman?' Frank Zappa: 'You have a wooden leg. Does that make you a table?” ― Frank Zappa

Okay............... "There once was a man name Crocket who stuck his cock in a socket, along came a bitch & flicked the switch and Crocket took off like a rocket.
