Everyone I knew was listening to "Are You Experienced" during the summer of 67. Perhaps it was just my friends, but I believe that album charted high on the Billboard top 200.

I was watching a programme recently about Stravinsky and Nijinsky's choreography for 'The Rite of Spring', which, just 100 years ago, caused pandemonium in Paris. Martha Graham danced in that first shocking production and much have been influenced by it. Now you can never watch the movie 'Jaws' and not hear the shark melody without having Stravinsky stamped all over it!

(is it ok to say that? just this once!!!) Yeah I am more of a Fall back kinda guy.

I always like to do some research on the artists, but found little on this one. If I found anything, it was usually on myspace or CD Baby, which doesn't give you any bio's on their background. Most of them were good covers, except the Sandpipers, who I thought I had heard of before. Their voices were way off key, and I cringed through the entire song. I have to say after a few listens, I really liked the unusual take on BSN by Andrew Sanders. Didn't know it was Indie Rock, and still don't know what Indie Rock is except that my nephew uses that genre to kill me when I play "song pop" with him. I just think of it as punk rock, but Andrew Sanders sure does and excellent job with BSN. It was definitely a favorite of mine. My other favorite would have to be the great classical guitar playing of Roberto Monti playing of "All I Want". Simply beautiful. As always, thanks for everything you do for putting together all these compilations. I look forward to every one of them. You're the best!
