It made me pick up a guitar and learn to play it.<br /><br />I wore that record out listening to the final cut "H". which by any standard is a masterpiece,the perfect storm of writing, recording & mastering. Like the writer of this blog I now wish to hear Les Wallace explanation/interpretation as to the meaning of the song. I am now 55 years old/ But the song (the entire album for that matter) is as fresh as ever. In many ways it's fresher than ever, analog at is best. <br /><br />Les where are you. Please come in. We wish to hear from you. Because we are in search of a place to rest our Heads.<br /><br />LS Lutz FlLarry Smithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-24251835724215656652010-06-16T23:56:36.064-04:002010-06-16T23:56:36.064-04:00Somehow this took me back to listening to the Marc...Somehow this took me back to listening to the Marconi Experiment at WMMR in Philly back in the day.cosmic tumblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07832812931341074611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-50015977918400887712010-06-16T16:04:52.286-04:002010-06-16T16:04:52.286-04:00What a surprise!
