Sad Day For Music

[missnemesis]

Rock and Blues guitarist Alvin Lee has passed away today. A great loss to the music world who (IMO) is indeed deserving of a mention.

RIP Alvin. Long may your music continue to bless the ears of fans everywhere.

A true legend.

As in Ten Years After ....

Yup Zeuhl as in Ten Years After...a greatly underrated band in my opinion.

I remember seeing Ten Years After in concert MANY years ago.

One bit of trivia about their single Love like a Man from 1970.

I remember going into a record shop (do you remember them?) to buy the single Love Like a Man.

The man in the shop picked it up, and noticed it had the same song on the A and B side so thought it was a pressing mistake.

I pointed out the A side was to be played at 45rpm and the B side was to be played at 33 and a third RPM as it was a live version of the song.

He had never heard of a 45 rpm single with this strange setup so there and then ordered some more copies.

This was their only UK hit.

And the group played at Woodstock !!
