Hi Jack! Caroline will be at Pomona College in Claremont about 90 minutes inland from Los Angeles.

Also Sinatra’s Sands’ record is excellent. Just bought the reissue of Garcia’s solo. Great production and songs. Thanks for sharing.

I thought about taking you up on your invite and had actually looked into last minute flights. This would be a very easy, and accurate video for me to make - all I have to do is look at my spreadsheet. It was called ABACAB, because they had 3 sections of music for the song, and they assigned each section a letter. I picked up Ommadawn a couple years ago and I'm not sure if I lever listened to it. My go to REO is Nine Lives. Nice job Mike!

Love that Genesis lp. It had multiple album covers as you surely know, and some try and get them all...I have 2. I do like all their stuff, but do prefer the Phil vocal era. Though I do like Gabriel both solo and Genesis. Thoroughgood, love it! Speedwagon, absolutely!Anyway.

I picked up a copy of 'Tubular Bells' on cassette at a charity shop just last week. I think I actually prefer 'Ommadawn' these days, as 'Tubular Bells' has been over-played over the years ... 'Animals' is one of the Floyd albums I've not given enough attention to. It's interesting to see how many people in the vinyl community have it as their favourite Floyd album.
