I, on the other hand, remember everything, and with a far more sanguine response than him. How about the Ike & Tina Turner cancellation? Ring any bells? Beck at the S.M. Civic? Free tix to the rainy Thanksgiving Quadraphrenia concert? Van Morrison? Hey THAT one is epic! ;-)<br />Didn't watch the Casey vids yet... got too caught up in Clapton and Traffic retrospective.

Not that I'm trying to make a convert, but my post from last month, review of the hometown concerts, has clips of the kind of music that isn't played on Idol and that better showcases his musicianship. I'm still not remembering the concert though...that era is a blur for me but not for the right reasons!!BurnThishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02813829073745951494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527364785342971830.post-74940580049963775562010-07-16T19:43:37.211-07:002010-07-16T19:43:37.211-07:00Hey I didn't swipe at Casey.

Just to be clear--as someone who doesn't watch Idol much--Casey didn't make a strong impression on me, but I understand his appeal. I have rather high standards when it comes to guitar players, but haven't seen enough to have a full opinion. But do know that everyone is entitled to theirs. :-) <br />S.L.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527364785342971830.post-91261970384636110862010-07-14T00:07:00.879-07:002010-07-14T00:07:00.879-07:00"Sandi,"

I know a little about the guitar, my cousin played the guitar religiously and still makes his career from it. ;) I think Casey is very good, especially when he plays the blues. But I love discussing our common musical touchpoints and hope we can continue to do that.BurnThishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02813829073745951494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527364785342971830.post-39240307454667749212010-07-13T23:12:21.857-07:002010-07-13T23:12:21.857-07:00...and btw, Casey is a joke as a guitar player.

Radio played a fairly wide array of songs and they didn't have to log in at three minutes. You could have guitar solos and piano arpeggios. No instrument was off limits -- if it fit the song, that was all that mattered. I think now how limited my taste is and forget that when I was ten I'd listen to Glen Campbell and the Doors, Al Green and Creedence, John Lennon and Sly & The Family Stone. We had Whole Lotta Love and Suite Judy Blue Eyes and Space Oddity. You're right, that was the high point for music and we were lucky to be there for it.BurnThishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02813829073745951494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527364785342971830.post-70082810505699504882010-07-12T13:57:28.944-07:002010-07-12T13:57:28.944-07:00The rock we listend to in '60s, '70s was S...The rock we listend to in '60s, '70s was SEMINAL. Blues, Jazz and Country were the ROOTs for new music which was just called ROCK whether it rolled or not. Labels came later. Had an argument with the husband yesterday 'cause Disraeli Gears is in my Top 5 Album Greats and he just doesn't get it. Whatever--he's more jazzy than bluesy. Clapton/Beck/Page and assorted Guitar Gods of the early years deserve our reverence bec w/out them there would not have been the Stevie Rays and your Casey. And they span the style spectrum--Beck's discography is staggering in its range, and Page was once a mainstream session player. Clapton's Layla? Maybe the best guitar song ever...Try playing the Kevin Bacon Game with the Yardbirds and it will blow your mind.<br />Low Sparks is pretty unclassifiable IMHO--Traffic was rather anomalous in its day as was Winwood's voice (his early Spencer Davis Group stint at age of 16--phenomenal breakout performance.) and don't forget they owed influence to historical British folk music (John Barleycorn et al).<br />As a Classic Rock Gal, nothing--and I mean nothing--from today even touches that time period. Whatever name you call it.<br />S.
