25 "N" List Acts

Hi,

Goodness gracious ... just having some fun and not suggesting that it was a negative reaction. You already know that I have been at this for some 50+ years, and the number of bands that could get listed anywhere is literally impossible to create without missing a lot of things.

I merely mentioned two that were big for us in the 70's in Guy's show and my collection, as opposed to some of the newer stuff that you listed, a lot of which I have not heard and am working on it now.

I could never consider doing a list of this or that ... I get burped up when I make a small list, for example, and then my head starts getting disappointed that I left out 5 or 10 other groups ... it is the main reason why I do not do "numbers" and "lists" in general ... I may list one or two special things here in there in my heart, but in general, all the music is special to me, and I don't like to leave anyone behind.

Your work is fine, and good in my book ... so please do not think that I am being this or that ... because in general I am not ... my hopes are always to "add" something to the discussions, not "subtract" anything from the whole. After all, I'm still fighting for a lot of progressive music, instead of simply posting "favorites" ... and that's just my nature ... having come from a literary house with 40k books of Portuguese, Brazilian and Spanish Literature ... and unlike Carlos Castaneda's Don Juan ... I do not think that all that paper is for the toilet at all ... and in fact I get disappointed and bummed if I see comments to that nature.

Special for me, in that I met them and saw them twice (first and second tours in America), and I had created a button that enchanted Mo Moore ... which he might still remember ... of all the guitar players and singer, Roye Albrighton is one of the best with a soul behind his words that few can decorate on a stage. 

I would also like to pay my respects to Mickie and Deke (MAN) and saw them and met the band when I did a 2 hour plus show of their music on my own show in 1999/2000 (called The Space) ... and it got Martin Ace to get a hold of me and thank for the interest. Deke's book is one of the saddest things about the rock journey by anyone ... but it is also a beautiful "flower" of an inspiration ... and I want Mickie's yodel's at my funeral, even if that choir is not there with him .. but I'm sure a choir of angels will show up un-announced. 

I need to dream some more!!!!!
