    The Flower Kings - Flower Power


    First listen! Bought the album last year along with Paradox Hotel. :)

    OMG!! I envy you hearing Flower Power for the first time. I can still remember when I was first turned on to TFK by Ned Flanders (rest his soul). My wife and I would sit in the living room in the dark, listening to Flower Power, Unfold The Future, Stardust We Are, Space Revolver and all the great early TFK stuff. Their new album, 'By Royal Decree,' is great too. I do miss Tomas Bodin and Zoltan Csorsz, but the new guys are very good.

    Very sad news. I have most of the Procol Harum albums. Got to see them perform on the Something Magic tour in the mid 70s. RIP Gary :(

    In doing a gig search for the Procol Harum 'Something Magic' show I attended in 1977, I was reminded that Dee Murray, of the original Elton John lineup, filled in on bass in the absence of Chris Copping who'd left Procol Harum prior to the North American leg of the tour. Sadly, Dee left us all too soon as well. He played on so many classic EJ songs.


    Here's a pic from that 1977 PH tour

    New album coming out by the amazing Peter Jones and Tiger Moth Tales, with special guest Andy Latimer!

    I'm so very sorry, NSOV. How tragic. We too have people close to us who've died of COVID. My wife and I just don't go anywhere. We're fully vaccinated, with a booster shot as well. All of our groceries are delivered, and I haven't been in a store in 2 years. My 83-year-old mom got COVID, but she survived with very few symptoms. We didn't even have a Christmas celebration this year because some family members weren't feeling well. As you mentioned, Anja was unlucky. It's tough times right now. I wish you and your loved ones peace and comfort.

    Just had it out with an anti-vaxxer who was supposed to do work on our house today. He stormed off without doing the work when I explained to him that people who are not vaccinated are the reason we are losing the war with COVID. This is the first time in 2 years that I've been confronted by someone for being vaccinated. Lord help us :(

    RIP to Betty White. :(

    Died missing her 100th birthday. Love by everyone on stage and film industry.

    Loved everything Betty was in. She's a national treasure. Shame she missed her 100th birthday by less than 3 weeks. :( RIP

    We had to forgo a formal Christmas dinner this year as everyone was sick, except for us. We had purchased a delicious 16-pound Honeybaked ham , which I carved up and snacked on all day yesterday. The neighbors brought over some homemade New England clam chowder. It's been a very relaxing 4 days. Back to work tomorrow.
