[QUOTE=WiguJimbo] The Band was great, haven't heard any of his solo albums though...
His solo work is nothing like The Band. Some of it IS prog like Peter Gabriel and Manu Katche on Fallen Angel from the 1st album. Some really great stuff. His 3rd, Music For The Native Americans is just what it says with real Native Americans backing him up. Check it out. It's great! Robbie is 1/2 Indian BTW.

Loved the Band as a kid and loved the first two RRobertson LPs....Storyville had a great feel and some great playing....but, I've never heard the more recent two....have seen them in record shops but don't know ANYONE who bought a copy.

Boy! We're doing some serious name-dropping here. I love it! Well' it IS getting late here now. Great pow-wow with you love. Let's do it again. Right now I'm waiting for the day the big proggers like Yes, ELP, Genesis and KC to get in the Rock Hall Of Fame, and then we can have a nice big convention here in Cleveland and see what our faces look like. At least those who can afford it. Bye-cycle love!

 no it just doesn't
well, I've spoken to Steve Hackett ... er, no, er, well, actually it was his wife. But that's just a minor detail. It was nearly him ... I mean, he could have been sitting beside her, right? It was when I phoned Camino Records (his own label) to complain of a faulty disc.
Actually that's what must have happened ... when he realised I'd called to complain he quickly handed me over to Kim ....  ...shifty, very shifty

You're great! I can go all night with you, 'cause you're a challenge. I'm sure you got SOME rare collectibles in that 1500. Don't you? If not. I love you anyway. Anyway, here's another one for you. I grew-up in Wash. D.C. area. I've met Kit Watkins and Stanley Whitaker from HTM before they even cut their 1st album. They played at my high-school in '76. They both lived about 10 miles (12 kilometers to you) from my house in Reston, Virginia. I also have seen the Dixie Dregs when I went to Georgia Tech college in '77. I took drumming lessons from Coco on the HTM Better Late Cd released in '93. It just doesn't stop!

Alright. Gotcha again! Let's see... I got a Beatles Yesterday and Today 2nd phase Butcher shot. (for you young-uns, that's the pasted-over version). A few original Vee-Jay pressings, a Beatles Mobile Fidelity box set that has been only played twice. Mobile pressed these vinyls off the studio master tapes with high-density virgin vinyl. Very hard to scratch. Been offered as much as $3000 for some of these. Shall I go on? Please say yes!
