Dear Cordwick...."
thanks man, I'm only 30 but I've listened to Woodstock era music for nearly 20 years, and have played 3 instruments for almost as long. In 2010, I was in a group that did marathon live jams based around The World On Fire, sometimes paired up with Beatles Tomorrow Never Knows.... I have the benefit of being able to look back into the past through websites and books. One of those "hindsight is 20/20" things. I "discovered" S.A.C. after hearing their name mentioned on TV on "THE WONDER YEARS"; Kevin started a band called the Electric Shoes and someone said it "didn't make sense". He said "SAC didn't make sense. Vanilla Fudge didn't make sense". Great TV show. I've heard all their studio albums multiple times, not sure why the never really caught on other than their record label just saw a bunch of young kids they could rip-off for a quick one-hit wonder and never gave the band a second thought after that. Blues For A Young Girl should have been a top 20 hit for sure. But music was changing. SAC sounded too much like Association and Turtles when they should have been sounding like Iron Butterfly and Jimi. --Previous Message-- : Hello Sir Cordwick! : I most admire your insights into 60's : culture.In the terms of many a youth in : those days,you seem enlightened and : "tuned in" to certain realities : that seem to elude many due to their : ignorance and shallowness.I wholeheartedly : agree that there always exists only a rather : pathetically small percentage of world : population that truly acknowledges and duly : appreciates truly good and meaningful : art.Especially these days....... :
