Beal, after your initial post I pulled out "Super Session" w/Bloomfield, Kooper, and Stills.
Then I listened to "The Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw". Brought back some interesting memories of what I was doing around that time. |

Hey Al.... Ronson, Capaldi and Bolan, with you all the way on those guys. |

| I recognize a few of these names. My age and limited knowledge of music other than my rock favorites keep me on a shorter list. I did see Al mentioned Marc Bolan. I do have some T-Rex on CD and he really did have something to contribute. Guy's like this and others like Buddy Holly, were unique enough while they were alive and working that I am sure they would have continued on and produced some wild and sometimes wounderful songs.
On the other hand Marc was outrageous enough that he may have ended up going the route of Syd Barrett and burned out. we will always wonder. |

Location: NJ | I had the pleasure of seeing Segovia on his 80th birthday at the academy of music in Philadelphia.
My aunt took me. She thought if I wanted to be a guitarist I should see the best. Somewhere I am sure I still have the program.
my first impressions as a 15 year old kid was that he was really old. (lol) but then I heard him play. I could not believe it. pure magic.
In her old age my aunt went a little "squirrly" but I always remember going to that show with her., |

| I don't want to upset you al but all the mick ronson stuff on record was actually Big Jim Sullivan the doyen of British session guys from The Kinks through to the nineties. He was a father figure to Jimmy Page and John McLaughlin in the sixties when they started out in the session world.

He can still blow the nuts off people a 1/4 of his age.
And he is a truly great human being. |

I got to see Butterfield/Bloomfield in 1970 at Oakland Community College along with a host of other bands for a free concert.
A couple others I already see mentioned were Rory Gallager & Tim Buckley.
