ah yes, those lads were like musical deities to us. Pure musical energy, enhanced by a communion of our chosen substances. "Clapton is god" was a not uncommon anthem. And perhaps I am biased or guilty of blatant sentimentalism, but those sounds still ring true in my dulled and muffled ears.

thanks for that spicy yarn of air action. It really puts me in a mood to escape once again into the atmoshere and mix it up with the virtual bandits who are perpetually in wait for me personally.
Yes, I am an album hog. I admit it. I just can't get enough of good music. Sometimes even mediocre music will do (my own i mean). And thanks for not mentioning your version of the the actual identity of aformentioned Easter Bunny. Remember the truce...and I've been practicing on my APS :p
