Looking forward to seeing you!

Jon Garey: To Call Our Own (Unplugged)
Sometimes things don't work out from the beginning no matter how hard you try. Once again, you lose the friend that you thought to call your own!

It makes me wonder how these folks have been so isolated so as to not have heard the music from the artists who established the path for the music that followed. This is music history at its finest.
Does anyone else find it a bit incredulous that so many people are listening to the music of the 60's/70's/80's from iconic bands for the first time and posting their reaction videos? Especially those individuals who earn a living making and producing music?
