Put that song together with Vanishing Point (the original movie) and you’ve got something. Still trying to get Vanishing Point on the internet for free.

Just listening to some old stuff. I just suggested this one as campaign music for Mike Dickinson who is now harassing Holly Fisher.

Jethro Tull - Aqualung

Despite that, it really is some great music from my childhood.

I used to practice the cowbell when I was younger but was never good enough to get noticed by any record producers.

Felix Pappalardi was an exceptional songwriter, musician and producer. He also possessed some great pipes. He and Leslie West made a great team. Too bad he wasn't more discerning in his choices when it came to women.

Poor Mr. Mike. I think someone left his Cake Out In The Rain (and he ate it all anyway!).

Oh dear Lord. I would rather hear fingernails on a blackboard than Mississippi Queen. My roommate once blasted that song one morning when I was suffering with a hangover.

He's now jabbering about Ru Paul being more attractive than Holly Fisher and I think he means it.

Yeah, if you’re not already in that kind of rough riding mood, this type of song can be similar to a root-canal,”you know what I mean?”

Yeah. Somewhere out there is the Van Cliburn or the Horowitz of cowbell, practicing alone, forgotten by the rock industry just as cruelly as by the classical music industry. I say it's racism.

Rumor has it that somewhere, in Larry Flynt’s dusty old files that have not yet been transfered online, there is a Manila folder about Dickerson. The folder is filled with photographs. Some of the photos have to do with that Company sponored New Years Eve Party of 2003. One shows a picture of Dickerson shirtless and wearing a bonnet while sitting in a playpen, next to a (muzzled) St. Bernard puppy.
There is a red Valentine sketched around that photo. The caption says, “Man’s Best Friend!”.

Great song by an underrated group. Their cover of “Theme for an Imaginary Western” remains one of my favorites.

This one is said to feature an African cowbell.

Mine too. “The King of Tone” has some pretty impressive chops and collaborators and lost a leg to diabetes a few years ago, so I’m sure he’d be pleased to be remembered here.

I love that band song. Levon could belt it out, couldn’t he. I have the digitally remastered version of Last Waltz. It’s a masterpiece.
