| You can Vote for Most Valuable Lead Vocals (Rock Groups) I have to add Gregg Allman, he could sing the blues as both a young man in 1971 when I saw him and later in life as the band changed guitarists. | |
| If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living? I have seen many of the icons, most were "On" when I saw them in the late 60's, early 70's.

It is akin to saying you cannot be a sports car fan if you don’t own a triumph, Austin Healey or old Jag.Technology has chang... | |
| What was your most disappointing album purchase? My most disappointing album was Her Satanic Majesty's Request by the Stones. They came back with great albums right after, but that one was rubbish. | |
| WHat did Audiophiles hear during Tape deck era? In the early 70s I had one of everything. R to R was used for recording new albums as well as long listening sessions so you did not have to get up all the time to change the record or cassette. I even had a 4 channel R to R, content was hard to... | |
| WAF -- When when buying my present system, I was looking at Maggie’s and my wife said “Are you sure you don’t really want the 20s instead of the 3s?. I ought 3.6s and love her so much. |
