Great!  How long will it stay up?

[Rooster_Ties]

Seriously groovy!  Will have to give more of this a listen soon.

Glad you liked what you've heard so far, RT!  GA, it will be up indefinitely.

[BFrank]

Interesting.

I would think that Soft Machine would fit into this list, too.

Upping this because there's so much early Larry Coryell in this program, as a part of Free Spirits, Gary Burton's quartet, and Count's Rock Band:

Glad you enjoyed it, HP!  That Stuart Nicholson book that I linked to in the bottom of the post has a lot of good information about said era.

I've had that book for years, and it's definitely worth getting.
