Of course I watched those shows, and of course I knew then that it was a different bag. I watched Jonny Quest EVERY Saturday AM.

Look, I was born in 1955, and we were the proud owner of a Zenith. The TV in our house was always on.

Thanks for the link. He had a crazy career. He was a fine arranger, too. He wrote this fantastic overture for S & Y , that was giving me harmonic orgasms as I played it. The fourth night of the gig, he told us we weren't playing it anymore. I asked him why. He said those two cornball azzholes said it was too "Symphonic".(!) I still had some optimism back then about the music business, and I told him it was a great piece, and offered to beg S & Y to put it back in. He said something like, "Forget it, kid.You're gonna find out that most people have no idea what good music is about (or something to that effect). Boy was he right about that! Early education...

Thank you!  Are there any other tracks on "Experiment in Sound" in that kind of a groove?

Only 'Estoy Cansado' is in the same latin mood and with bandvocal.

Played disc 2 of this recently and stand by it being a good entry point for JR's music. Commercial trappings aside, the solos are what I stay for. It's the only thing in my collection with Seldon Powell as well. Probably something I should remedy.

I’ve always liked the cover art for the UK Esquire LP version of ‘Rites’. Never seen a copy though.
