Allman, Clapton, and Simon

Well, ever since my mid-1970's high school days, I've always been a big fan of Greg Allman, Eric Clapton, and Paul Simon. So, naturally, now that I'm a 55 yr. old music lover, who's still a big fan of these three great musicians, I recently bought each of their new albums (errr... excuse me, ... CD's) All I can say is WOW !!! These three guys are still writing great songs and still singing sweet music. Bravo, and thanks for still doing your thing, boys. You're all to be commended. You're still proving to be the cream of the crop.

Well, maybe my infatuation with Allman's new album is due to the fact that I bought it as soon as it was released, shortly after I saw him give a great concert with the Brothers. Gregg singing and playing his Hammond B-3, Warren and Derek on guitars, and Butch and Jaimoe on drums. It was a really fine night..... And even if the CD is not the best quality recording, it's still pretty cool that this guy is entertaining us after all these years, and with a new liver and good health. With guys like Paul Simon, Clapton, and Gregg Allman still making records, all "us old guys" will stay pretty happy.

Yeah, Robbie Robertson shouldn't be forgotten either. By gosh, "The Last Waltz" seems like yesterday. Robbie on stage with The Band, and joined by Dylan, Mitchell, Clapton, Dr. John, Morrison, Young, Diamond, etc., etc. I have not heard his new album, but I have read some good reviews about it.

And to add to this line of thinking...... a lot of people seem upset that these "old timers" are still making records and still going on tour. I, on the other hand, think it's absolutely marvelous that they are still doing what they love, and still making us happy. Forty years after "Live at Filmore East," and we're still hearing new music from Allman. Where are these rap and hip-hop guys going to be after 40 years ?
