| Tekton Double Impacts Good morning, Charles. It is an amazing record. You are absolutely correct, timeless!(the album I added was the Bychkov Nutcracker) | |
| Tekton Double Impacts That’s great! I’ll definitely give it a listen especially since it isn’t something I would normally spin and have been exposed to, other than live. Wrapping up the evening in a similar vein to how I started, though with a 50 year gap...the classic... | |
