Nice playing, Norm. I was born in the early 70's so I feel like other
than having the recordings to listen to, I missed out on experiencing
the 'golden years' of rock, prog rock, soul, funk (I left out a few
genres I'm sure) music of the 50's, 60's, 70's like some of you guys.
I got into Billy Preston when I was in my early twenties though; I
would play a greatest hits compilation cd of his for friends of mine
and they were surprised at how funky his solo stuff like 'Outta Space'
was. Many people think all he did was the 'Let It Be' session work
with the Beatles--that's just a cursory sampling of his career/
artistry. It seems there's a renewed interest in his music, at least
among keyboardists like us folks.
