Call me disconnected...

I had no idea until I read a heartfelt Facebook post by Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth) paying tribute to David Crosby.

"If I may, I urge anyone reading this to listen to ‘Orleans’ and then ‘Traction on the rain’ from his solo record (‘If I could only remember my name’) from 1971. It’s a few minutes of your time. Perhaps it’s ‘too slow’ for some of you in a time when ‘speed-ed up’ versions of popular songs are a preference to some (what the actual *****!). But take a breath and brace yourselves. "

I had to look it up, and I found this.

Mind you, I had tons of fun when I was a kid playing LP's and singles at 78 rpm - snare rolls in particular where hilarious. I thought the one in Hound Dog sounded like a fart. But that was just something stupid I did for fun. I loved the songs as they were. 

But yeah. This is what happens...

Me, I have no time for people who have no time for music.
