Janis moves me still to this day, I have a few of her old videos I like to fire up once and a while. Tear jerkers baby...
She left us far too soon.. oh what she could have become. Same could be said for Jimi.
Eric Clapton's career has always impressed me as well. A true journeymen he is. Still growing and playing to this day. Like Jimi we heard him long before we knew who they were, playing under others. Artisans and pioneers they were and are.

Not a good answer from me I'm afraid......I was a mainliner...The Doors - Led Zep - Pink Floyd - Rod Stewart - Fleet-wood Mac. Crosby, Nash Stills & Young.
I've SEEN a photograph of a YoungMedMan... With Dizzy Gillespie's arm over his neck like they had been buddies forever!
OMM has always had that effect, I imagine... He has a story where he met Miles too! OMM loves his rock, but he has had a very diverse musical interest.- Thread starter

OK! The cats out of the bag. I love Jazz too....not so much anymore.....too many other things to listen to/watch. I was in the Air Force in Sacramento and a few of us really liked Jazz. I was 18 and didn't know any better and had an idea to put on a Jazz show at the Sacramento State Fairgrounds on a Saturday afternoon. 4 of us started writing people with the idea. Wow, that was 52 years ago. I was lucky and a promoter read my letter. He liked the idea and wrote me back. As they say, the rest is history.
The final name was "BBQ and Jazz on a Saturday Afternoon". Everyone sat on the grass and it went off flawlessly. We had a ton of help from volunteers from the Air Force Base. Dizzy and I got along and he helped with getting others to play. Sorry, it's been too long to remember all the names of the performers that day. Bobby Timmons was on piano, Wes Montgomery was on Guitar, Dizzy, of course, and many more, I can't remember.
The lawn was full of folks....it was great. Being 18, it was a hell of a thing to be part of .
Did I make any money? Hell no! That was not the point.Yep, I did meet Miles one night at the Blackhawk in SF. I was under age and kind of slipped in the door with some black people. Miles stopped playing and muttered something about a piece of rice in a coal mine and pointed to me. Out I went.

They were idols of mine, being the first instrument I fell in love with was the drums. I recall Buddy's signature stage show. His platform would rise off the ground and turn upside down. The whole time he never misses a beat. Kruppa another wonder that died to soon.

Wow! you've got such great stories OMM!
I love jazz...I think it's good for the soul! 
And it only gets better if you're medicated! 
Stopped in read up... crashed out. Came back and found me still here 
it was cool to hear that cut of Joplin. Believe it or not Pink can actually cover Joplin... I was surprised when I saw that in concert

Pink? oh NO
Adele is the closest today to a soulful singer. Pink just don't have what it takes..
But that is just an opinion... nothing replaces the original, the others can only try to reach
Janis crossed musical boundaries as well as mindscapes..

Hey OMM,
Just popped in to catch up...Sounds like you and Jo are doing well. Really glad to hear it Always makes life better when you're feeling well.
The girls are beauties ... as always. I see you're supplementing with cfl's. Did you adjust the LED's to veg ? What do you think about those lights now?
Love all the bands/singers mentioned. Agree with smokzalot...adele is really good. Don't listen to any of the new pop stuff out there...just can't get into it. I always go back to the classic rock stations and old Motown along with some reggae ...that's my speed.
Looking forward to the new journal...are you moving these ladies outside to flower? Did I get that right?
Always...much love my friend

If you have not heard her cover Joplin live....well then you are just typing.
edit -- I sound like a fan
I went to a concert gratis at a casino for grins. She did a couple bubble gum songs then did a Joplin set... I was F'ing blown away, she did it very well. I gained a new respect for Pink after that.

Hey OMM,
Hi My Lady Buddy!

You are right....so much better, when we are feeling good.
The girls are beauties ... as always. I see you're supplementing with cfl's. Did you adjust the LED's to veg ? What do you think about those lights now?
The LEDs are set to what "we", Chronic and I believe to be a veg setting. They still haven't sent the instructions to me. Cronic has a set too. The lights are doing what I expected, growing the plants short and bushy again. They warn not to get them closer than 22 inches.

I still listen to just about anything!

You are correct, all but 3 will be going outside, keeping the Berry Bombs inside and will mess with them to see what I can do to them.
Much love back at you, my Dear Friend.

Hi OMM!
Awesome stories about meeting Dizzy and seeing Miles - "piece of rice in a coal mine!"
Hi X.
That remark was typical of the time. Race wars were happening down south big time. Equality was being fought for all over the country, but down south was the worse. There was one Black Comedian that used to crack me up, here is one of his stories.
One day in Mississippi a black man walked into a white restaurant, set down at the counter and ordered a baked chicken. The owner turned bright red with anger and screamed at the black man, "What ever you do to that chicken, I am going to do it to you!".
Soon the place was packed. The owner brought the baked Chicken to the black man and set it on the counter
The black man picked it up, looked it over, then Kissed it's Butt!.
