Weird Karma:
I stumbled on the Director's Cut of Woodstock on cable a couple of nights ago, just in time to see Alvin w/ Ten Years After. As with every other of the many, many times I've seen it, his performance blew me away.
RIP, Mr. Lee....

Location: Chicago | Devastated. He was a hero. I spun the LPs "Cricklewood Green" and "Shhhh...." till there were no grooves left. And of course, the classic "A Space in Time." You DID change the world, my man. Rest in Peace! |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I wrote down the lyrics to "Love to Change the World" in a little red notebook of guitar songs that I started in the 60s. It's one of the only songs I put in that book that I never learned to play. It was just way above me, but still one of my favorites. |
