Will classic rock last for all eternity?

[Interesting Times]

I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday...

I met Holdsworth at The Bottom Line in NYC in '98. He was at the bar after the show, and my friends pushed me toward him like 12 year old girls pushing a friend toward a Backstreet Boy.

I thanked him for a great show, and I shook his hand (he's too humble). His hand just enveloped mine.

Years ago, prior to Floyd, I was a tremendous fan of YES. Close to the Edge, Topographic Oceans, all their stuff is almost opera. I saw them in Geneseo State college about 1971, and passed out on the floor with just about everyone else(including my date, who's name I forget). But to this day, the most amazing thing was that Chris Sqire always played the bass like a lead guitar, he was better than Howe.

Ah, I love my younger daze. Those I remember. Worth remembering far more than anything that happened lately.

And here is a picture of the 3 SDA models of the Polks. The tallest ones are mine.



Listening to "Seasons of Man" now.
YES, ELP, King Crimson, early Airplane, (BAXTERS!!!)...

"Do we really want to be listening to bands like Bad Company when we're in the retirement home?"

I hope so. I'd hate to think I had to listen to Lawrence Welk.

I am jealous. I would love to meet the man. It would be nice to see him perform live as well. Here in Nebraska people don't seen to have any taste.

I have worked on a number of Holdsworth tunes over the years and realized that you have to have superhuman hands to pull many of them off.

You'll never meet a more genuine British Gentleman.
