Hi LizzieM - we had a summer camp way up in the mountains of New York State. There was an air-force base at Plattsburg, N.Y. - this was 1970 and at 8:00 in the morning the super-sonic jets were on their test flights, right over our heads - sounding as if they were slightly above the tree tops. Needless to say, when they went faster than the speed of sound - it would make your heart skip a beat and scare the breath right out of you, with that sonic-boom.....rattling the brand new windows my father just installed. So I know exactly what you mean!

Wonderful - I remember such things as a kid, and then enter self service stations and I saw first hand the changes that followed. There are some scarce echo's of those days - but few and far between as they are. I'm proud to say that I ran a repair shop out of my grand-mothers wagon house (barn) for 37 years. My greatest pleasure came from making people happy - when they were in a jam and they needed a quick fix. I'd say, no problem - why don't you go take care of some of your other Saturday morning chores and stop back in an hour - or hour and a half, when ever you get finished. I never let

Full service gas stations.....water sir.....check your oil......check the air in your tires? It was the loss of this service, that was the beginning of other things fading away as well.

I was looking for a place to ask this question, and looking forward to your opinions. Hard as I try, and as open minded as I am - I don't understand all the fuss made over the Beach Boys album "Pet Sounds" and also Brian Wilson's "Smile".......could someone explain this to me - without busting my balls. Thanks in advance.

Well, I guess it answers that question. Sorry I asked. I expected a lot more respect for the two men that put Nottingham on the map. Alvin Lee and Robin Hood.....

I'm no Bible Thumper - to me, the Bible is a book just like any other book. I see it as a history book with flaws as in any history book. In fact to me, the lord really wants you to enjoy your life, be happy , and help everybody you can along the way. "And on the way out, pick up a little garbage and everythings gonna be alright" John Sebastion.....Woodstock 1969. To Mr. Beefsteak: "He is the god of nothing, if that's all you can see - he is the god of everything, he's inside you and me". Ian Anderson

I'd like to get back to the Nottingham and England in general forum. The subject for today is "Stonehenge" and a topic that relates to that and makes sense to me....in the Bible they're called "Fallen Angels" a forgotten culture of "Giants" called "The Nephilim" which puts a new light on "David and Goliath". These giant men and women stood between seven foot and taller. Their remains are found all over the world, including close to the Stonehenge - "Standing Stones" site of the dead, the local grave yard. It seems that Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal did mate and created this race of Giants. These

What does your wife think of Glenn Gould's "French Suites" ? I'm a big fan of Mr. Gould's work, talent and wool coat, hat and gloves!

Mama Cass did a wonderful cover of - "The In Crowd".....I love listening to it.....it's a real surprise - if she did it with the Ramsey Lewis Trio back then, what a treat that would have been. She has the right feel - sings so clear and holds the notes so well - dynamic and not powerful.

At least they didn't drop anything on you - or send down a rope ladder!

1970 - Elton John - never liked John Denver - James Taylor first few albums were good, one on the Beatles Apple label - Cat Stevens always good anytime, Miles From Nowhere my favorite.

Just my opinion - the re-mastered WHO - LIVE AT LEEDS - is fantastic - brilliant sound all the way through.

Thank You Mick2me - understood - let it stand and let it ride!

Hello AYUPMEDUCKS.....you made my day - thank you. Please check out David Adair. He says the UFO ships work on a a symbiotic system, between the pilot and the craft. The craft is half organic and half machine. In an hour and a half they can travel from their base light years away, and be on earth and then return the same day. The craft also is kind of leather to the touch....built from materials once unknown to mankind - but now used to construct the bombers in the 1980's Stelth (spelling). And yes, they do get hit while in flight, there are repair bases on earth - parts centers, where they

This is a topic I like: I started with a $20.00 little am / fm radio with turn-table on top. Next came a Macy's stereo built in turn-table, two seperate speakers, my first stereo. Then with $500.00 in hand, I bought a Fisher 203 amp / tuner (long Island) - 8-track player - two speakers (unknown brand) and a turn-table. Got a job and a brand new stereo - Pioneer SX-750 - two tempest speakers made by ESS company - Heil - Transducer - Pioneer PL-117-D turn-table - SX-2300 - reel to reel. This was 1974 - 1975 - 1976. Right now: ESS - Rock Monitors 3's - Speakers - 1975 Technics -SL-1200MK2 -

"Because I said so" "When you move out you can do what you want, until then you follow our rules" "It can't be done" - my reply - just watch me. "Keep it up and you're gonna catch it" "Don't make me stop this car" "We don't always like you, but we always love you" "Do it - or else" - or else what I'd say. "Turn the music down" "Go to sleep"

I called my father on fathers day in America last Sunday. - Here in Germany, fathers day was a month ago. My father will be 85 in August, he's got memory loss, but still knows my mother sister and I. He has nothing to do - they sold their house, and twelve acres of land with it and moved into a beautiful apartment. Now his big night out is going to play BINGO witth my mother. He and I are like oil and water, always have been - but that's over now, love wins out in the end.

Hello Everyone, In one way I'm so glad that I started this topic, in another way I found what I was looking for, and in the end I'm kind of sorry it has to end. I want to thank all of you for your thoughts, ideas and opinions. It meant a lot to me to read your comments. It does concern me that some of you want proof in hand, while others are opened mined and really don't know what to think. Both views are of course correct.....the Holy Book, and its teachings say, you should have the eyes of a child, and see things as such - simple, easy and free. I support that position. It's now with much

I was just wondering if you kind folks in Nottingham had any plans to remember Alvin Lee's passing in a monument sort of way? Giving respect to your local music hero who rocked the world over, but never forgot his roots. It would just seem fitting and proper in his memory!

Mr. Booth, I for one am looking forward to what you have to offer on the, "Real Rock and Roll" thread. I'm sure I can offer you some names for that section if you like.

When the Doors toured Europe in 1968 with Jefferson Airplane, and Jim Morrison by show time was out of commission due to drink and drugs, it was Ray Manzarek who saved their set by doing Jim's part and his own as well. He was hunched over the keyboards, and singing "come on baby light my fire" sounding very much like Jim himself. No problem from the audience. After Jim's death on July 3, 1971 and given a few years in between, Ray, Robbie and John worked on what was to become, "An American Prayer" released in 1978. Much of the material was recorded on Jim's birthday, he was given studio time

I'm looking for photos of "The Jay Cats" - "The Jay Birds" - Early photos of Alvin Lee, Leo Lyons, Ric Lee, Dave Quickmire - Ten Years After.....this also includes any and all photos of these bands and people for use on our websites. www.ten-years-after.com and www.alvinlee.de To see what we've already added, just go to google search and type in "Pre Ten Years After" that should get you to the exact page. Scarce as hens teeth to find anything relating to the Jaybirds and Jay Cats. Also, will accept photos of the venues where they played. Thanks in advance from Dave (your host).

According to her lecture, her friend (CIA / FBI / NSA) saw the video tapes, and informed her about the unmarked vans coming and going during the days she stated - the time being 3:00am to 5:00 am ask your friend about that time frame and the video tape on those days. Also in answer to your question, I don't know where she was during that time period, although by not coming up with the answers her boss wanted - to keep his boss happy, she took away the Whitehouse's Plausible Deniability. To Mr. Smith, look for yourself at the internet, for those who don't agree with your opinion....you'll fin

Mr. Smith, Do you remember a D.J. and rock writer by the name of Simon Stable - he also wrote for The New Musical Express in the U.K. ?

Oh Yes the miss-information comes out first - she has no mental illness and does not suffer from depression. They wanted to shut her us is all, she stuck to the truth, and wouldn't back down. She knows the facts and sticks to the facts and follows the truth till the end. Other than her laugh, I really like her and what she has to say. Please give her a listen.
