Expand Love Hooker, whatever album Boogie Chillin was on I used to play all the time. But one day I left it out and my son, who was 3 or 4 at the time, thought it was a cool Frisbee. Lost the album and a lamp that day. He still hates when I tell people that story 😂 baddog 1 Quote

Crosby from the Byrds and Nash from the Hollies joined Stills to form Crosby,Stills, and Nash. Neil Young came aboard after their first album and recorded the album Deja Vu. The band Manassas had Stills and Dallas Taylor (from CSNY) so I took it upon myself to figure you like that sound so you must like those others bands who had the Stephen Stills influence. Expand Reasonable assumption. I do like Buffalo Springfield, and CSN was okay, CSNY great. I like Stills’ blues-centric style and Young, of course, is in a league of his own considering his songwriting abilities on top of his play. Quote

baddog Posted November 26, 2020 Report Posted November 26, 2020 Saw Freddie King at the Black Cat club on hwy 90 going towards China. He was simply amazing. Have his Getting Ready album. Going Down was a big hit he recorded with Leon Russell on piano. The way we got to hear his music for the first time was from a square, floppy 45 rpm that had Going Down on one side. It came to a friend’s house through the mail as a promotional deal. We all loved it right off the bat. Went and bought the album as soon as I had enough money. Lol Quote

Dang, that one had slipped into the recesses of my memory. Freddie died in 1976, around 45 yrs old. Some say cancer, I had remembered it as bleeding ulcers brought on by poor diet and stress of the road. The guy could sure play. Quote

Expand Like I said, he was a big guy. He played on stage with a bath towel around his neck due to profuse sweating. I know it’s hot under stage lighting, but this was a terrible sight to me. Thinking back now, it might have still been Redman’s when I saw him and became the Black Cat club later on. Man, that was a long time ago and my memory fails me sometimes. Quote
