You mean "Al, John and Paco De"


okay then, suggesting Di Meola, McLaughlin and Lucia to Easy Livin.

he's more "modest" on stage, I got to saw him in a casual white silk summer skirt.
so it's maybe just for the press and the looks. (looks which...he has)

I think a previous thread suggested it was not, but it can be changed if required.

^Angelo don't you mean a suit?

A suite is a type of hotel room.

Sorry, I've seen solo mentioning of Lucia, Paco De.

okay then. de Lucia.

Even since Island records issued a catalogue of the artist's first name rather than surname back in 1970, I've wondered how daft people can be. Then a record shop opened locally with all its artists sectioned that way - J was the bigger section (all those John's).  I once complained about the difficulties this created trying to find something,  to be told the owner had decided on it - I glad when another customer nearby chipped in and said what a bloody stupid system it was!

We've been this way before with Jan  Hammer/Jerry Goodman's Like Children - I added and reviewed the album under Hammer, only to discover some months later the same album was being dealt with separately under Goodman. Since these various  guitar trios don't have fixed personnel, (McLaughlin Coryell, DeLucia/ McLaughlin, Dimeola, DeLucia - and did I see that there was a DVD with DiMeola, DeLucia, Lagrene released recently),  then surely there are two commonsense things to do:
1. Add the CD or DVD to at least one of the player's surnames listed in PA
2. Pray that PA has the wisdom to make multi-links to the album/DVD and its associated reviews, which ever artist name you look up.
