My extremely provincial view of CTA

when Chicago came out, I just figured they were ripping off the Sons of Champlin, and on this song, the guitar even does these ripping scales ala Terry Haggerty.  Oh well, the Sons were hot.

I'm embarrassed to say I'd never heard of the Sons of Champlin until attending the "30th anniversary of the Summer of Love" fest at the edge of GG park in 1997.  They put on a pretty good set there, as I recall ... as did P. Kantner, who trotted out "The Mountain Song" to my astonishment.  A few rays of light in what was otherwise a cynical celebration of commodity culture.

another tune that makes me think of the 'commune' (flat shared by different folk) I lived in near the Castro that summer.  mmm...

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...

Santana's first album

another disc I bought at Woolworth's after working at Alvin Duskin, and took home and played on my little GE portable.  I guess 1969 would hold a lot of these flashbacks!

"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?

Stephen Hawking could play a better guitar solo than this.


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

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

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....

My real regret is not going to the Monterey Pop Festival, but there was no way my parents were going to let me go.
