Others may not dig this, but I think it's pretty cool that Ginger 'bookends' the first half with Clapton & J.J. Cale.
"others" = Gaz :wink:
I liked it -- but I'm likin' Southside Johnny even better! talk about something you NEVER hear in SF! BOS and kudos to Ginger.
Ditto!
Hearing Southside Johnny alsways reminds me of my friend Brent Horine. When I was 15, just after my Sophmore year, I & a couple other kids from my high school were given a chance to attend a leadership seminar for a week at an outlying college campus, with kids from various area high schools in attendance. I was surprised to have been selected because I was a real outcast/loner in HS at that time. The other guys from my school all hung out together & got stoned a lot (I learned this after), but I made 3 really good friends from other schools that week, one of whom was my first girlfriend. Brent & I were each on our HS Cross Country teams, so we met while out for a run, but really Brent was the first friend I ever made through music. I had just started listening to FM radio/album rock & was mostly into prog rock. Until I met Brent it never occurred to me that anyone else in St. Louis actually liked ELP. Certainly no one in
my class did. Brent was a year ahead of me & worked at his HS radio station (which was the biggest HS in StL county at that time), so he had all kinds of stuff that I hadn't yet been exposed to. First & foremost he had all of Southside Johnny's LP's & professed to like him better than Springsteen (an argument one couldn't really make 6 months later, but in early '78 it was still possible to say this with a straight face). We stayed good friends through the next couple of years and into college.
