I once learned 4 chords on the mandolin to play for your love for an Acapella song. 🤣 it was AMAZING.
I went down the Eric/george/patty rabbit whole the other night and it was DEEP.
Also, someone told me Bob Dylan wrote all along the watchtower now I’m just lost thinking about how bananas it would have sounded if he’d sang it. I don’t want to go looking.
I love the idea that Gouldman was just casually writing some of the best songs of the 60s and he was barely out of school! Great piece
As a lifetime member of the Yardbirds and JJ Cale Fan Clubs, I approve!
JJ Cale was so influential - obviously on Clapton but I hear him in a lot of Mark Knopfler’s guitar, especially the early Dire Straits albums.

The story behind the name of the Cream song “Badge” is hilarious

Thanks, Michael. Lot's of new to me facts here. I have never thought about the Hendrix/Monkees connection. Cool!
