BTW, have you checked out Jean Luc Ponty yet? Or are you being a bad girl and not doing your fusion homework?

Well, I certainly enjoyed this romantic interlude listening to Robbie together like this. Let's do it again, huh?

Ok, it's finished. Isn't that incredible!? Checkout his 1st album, he's got Peter Gabriel, Tony Levin and U2 on that. I think that is one of best albums of the 80s. Oh alright. You've got 1500 cds! But not that one! Gotcha!

Do you have a favourite track(s). I'll look to see if any of them are on my compilation



ok, hold on a sec.....I think the best track is track 4. An intrumental he does with a flute where his guitar hits the higher registor and meshes with the flute. Listen to it and you'll know what I mean. I'm listening to it right now. It's called The Vanishing Breed.

He holds a special place in my heart. Only 4 solo albums and they're fantastic. They are: Robbie Robertson Storyville Music For The Native Americans Contact From The Underworld Of Redboy If you haven't heard them, get them! They're incredible!


 


hey ...  !! I have some of his stuff ... Music for Native Americans. He's not very well known here . I really like his work!



You're right up my alley Felona. Not a lot of proggers really appreciate his work. Some people do give him the compliment of being a genre all his own though like Zappa, Beatles and Pink Floyd. And I agree on that. Certianly one of rock's most under-appreciated geniouses.

 hey, great choice!  I have some of his stuff ... a friend did a comp of all those solos albums for me  mainly culled from Music for The Native Americans. He's not very well known here which is a shame as  I really like his stuff!

 ... now you've inspired me to dig out the CD as its been a while since I listened ... now where did I put it ... its definitely somewhere here   amongst my 1500 ...er ...oh sorry ...  ...

 I shall definitely  play it again
