wow, talk about an artist who was an FM *staple* in the early '70s -- not just the live-at-Woodstock stuff but songs like "Love Like a Man" from Cricklewood Green were in heavy rotay on NYC's WNEW-FM for years -- and who is never heard these days even on Classic Rockers.  Wonder if K-Fox or the Bone will even bother to spin a tune or 2 today.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

 I saw TYA twice at Fillmore West; awesome shows. I met Alvin years later in a booth at the NAMM show in New Orleans. He was sitting in a room with these Japanese salesmen from Kawai guitars. We talked briefly; very odd encounter.

That was my mom and dad's first concert in the USA. She said they dressed up for it and looked out of place amongst the hippies.
