"because the Fall Of Another Year"

RFW

We lost Jack Bruce. Not easy to be in a band like Cream with someone like Clapton, and still be noticed. But even then, there was so much more to the man than just that group. I hope you enjoy "Rope Ladder To The Moon",  a 1969 documentary by Tony Palmer.

...but since I mentioned them......

It Can't Be Denied!

Dawn, Paul McCartney, Annie Lennox, Bryan Ferry, Harry Nilsson, Jeff Beck Group, Blind Willie McTell, The Kinks and Rory Gallagher!

"It comes from r&b and soul"

RFW

*I was rocking out to the Transmission and I noticed I did not mention that the third song in my "NYC Trilogy" was Garland Jeffreys "Hail Hail Rock & Roll". There is not a bad album in his discography, but I highly recommend "Don't Call Me Buckwheat" released in 1992!

**There are many opinions as to The First Rock & Roll Song. It is my humble opinion that it was "My Daddy Rocks Me With One Steady Roll" by Tampa Red & The Hokum Jug Band. It was recorded in 1929, 25 years before "Rock Around The Clock" and it also featured the first simulated orgasm (by Frankie "Half Pint" Jaxon), 46 years before Donna Summers and Giorgio Moroder brought sex back onto the dance floor with "Love To Love You Baby" in 1975!

* The illustration above is a purposely crooked and questionably correct statement by the eternally troublesome Bart Simpson. It's actually my favorite piece of promotional schwag, provided to me by Fox in an attempt to also make we Radio DJs shills for TV networks as well as the Music Industry! It obviously worked!
