Mi Hermano, Steve !
I love that song - "Shattered" by the Stones !!! Thank you for posting that up !!!

Another group from that same era, who evolved as a result of Buffalo Springfield breaking up, (which left Stephen Stills and Neil Young to go separate ways for awhile), was called Poco, and they had all manner of things happen to to them in that late 1968 timeframe..

Poco was anchored as a group for a while thanks to a guy named Jim Messina who was a recording engineer, who also played, and even produced one of Poco's first albums, and then later went on the join up with Kenny Loggins and the rest is history for those 2 guys..

Many great musicians went through Poco's group including Randy Meisner who would later become the bassist for the Eagles, and then Timothy B. Schmidt, joined Poco, and later on he would be asked to replace Randy Meisner who left the Eagles..

I think it was around 10 years later, perhaps 1978 or so that Poco, still alive and not dead yet, produced a couple of incredible songs you will all remember - "Crazy Love", and "In the Heart of the Night" and those 2 songs alone are so worth buying their Poco Ultimate Collection CD...

This group is and has always been really "tight" when they play and when those 2 tracks, (9 and 10) are played through my equipment, they still give me goose bumps, they are so, so, good..

So, this is what Im listening to at the moment !! :)

not quite river dance tropicsteve but horslips,clanad,phil lynott,u2,van Morrison etc.i have my headphones on under my ear defenders and I like to get into it with the music while I machine,usually after the first pass as I like to hear the machine pitch change as I cut it down that and the pull of the machine,i do like my feedback from the rotary.My sister was in mill street in cork that night and was completely blown away [as was everyone else in the audience ] with the performance,it was totally out of the blue.
 
River Dance music - that is hilarious !!! :) :) :)

No, more like Jerry has already said - Van Morrison - the King of incredible music, vocals, and words...
He introduced Jazz instruments into music so beautifully before 1970..

Find the great, imported from Japan, remastered Van Morrison "Moondance" CD, play track 5 "Into The Mystic" through good equipment and speakers and wow, it takes you to places you never heard of but want to know more about.. :)

In this CD, he wrote words and music to things that happen in Ireland in such a beautiful, personal way, it makes one wish you could have been there...

Some beautiful pictures of Ireland taken by good friends John and Deb Scanlan, are here - Limited Edition Photographs

Your so right Dan,the man dose it right, of course back then there was a lot going on over here and it would have been easy to write about the politics only, but he seen more and as you say the jazz brought in different emotions and he expanded on that,as for the views I can tell you they are like the sound of breaking glass,you just don't get used to it,every time I drive the wild atlantic way I am blown away.If you get a chance check out Ladies View,Connors pass,The gap of Dunloe,all down in Co Kerry you will get them on the web.Also the ring of Kerry.
