"Soul Sacrifice" reminds me of Woodstock -- I'd like to hear Grace's little rap about "morning maniac music" right about now.

OK, I've gotta ask: Those of you who were alive in '69 -- did you attend Woodstock, and why/why not?

My excuse was that I was 6 & we lived in Virginia.  We moved to Long Island the next year & I have often wondered if we'd already moved by early summer the year earlier, might we have made the trek....

That woulda been quite a trek with small children in tow!

"keep your kids away from the brown acid!"

"uhh, because it was in New York?"

LOL! Best answer, Geoff! Jeez, these East-Coasters who think life revolves around NY...

I was 14 -- too young and Catholic and sheltered.

Stephen Hawking could play a better guitar solo than this.

Silly boy... everyone knows Stephen Hawking plays synthesizer.

But what about Questions 1 thru 66?

They're filed with Preparations A through G.

LOL!  In the '60s the UN Sec'y-General was a Burmese man called U Thant.  Jack Paar wondered aloud if there were an A Thant, a B Thant...

Joss she ain't

and thank God(dess) for that.  Would love to hear "Kozmic Blues" in some future '69 or '70 set.

I'd rather ride a Stone Poney than a Painted Pony.

"Do you know what latitude, longitude, latitude,
Do you know what latitude, longitude means?"

actually that musical couplet at the end is an old German drinking song, "Ach du leibe Augustine" or something like that.

I realize there's a play-the-hits factor to any 10@10, but "Spinning Wheel" is probably my least favorite song from this LP.  I'd love to hear "Sometimes in Winter", er, sometimes.

Immediate BOS vote to "Aquarius / Let the Sun Shine In": that transition between the two still gives me chills.  Genius, this production.  (Bones Howe?)

indeed it was Mr Bones.  Dick Bartley did his semi-annual 5-D spotlight a few weeks back, and while he didn't honor my request for "If I Could Reach You" (he didn't have clips of Marilyn McCoo discussing that particular tune), it was the usual fab assortment.  Marilyn specifically credited Howe with coming up with the idea of making A/LTSSI a medley. They had seen Hair and immediately wanted to do the song, but were warned that several artists had tried to have a hit with it to no avail.

I just realized that I'm gonna miss the tax-day set this year.  Ah well, not like it ever really changes much from year to year.

Actually I might too, as I think I have a meeting Fri at 10, and I'll be at the A's/Angels game Fri nite.  Barry's pitching -- I'll tell him you said HI. :wink:
