I absolutely love Chick Corea, especially his work with Return To Forever.
I was fortunate enough not only to meet and chat with him back in the 90's. He signed with Universal Music Publishing and came by the office several times, which was always a treat.
I also saw him live as a solo artist and with the amazing Dave Weckyl on drums. Chick was amazing. [Reply]

Who was their guitarist at the time? I really liked both Bill Connors and Al Di Meola, who was absolutely amazing but totally different than Connors.
Race With The Devil On Spanish Highway is still one of my favorites. [Reply]

This was music my brothers introduced me to as teen. In turn, I introduced this music to my friends and acquaintances in those days. Looking back, it gave me such joy when another person would find it as enjoyable as I did. Loved Stanley Clarke.
That music was played on the old KY-102. I remember a Sunday night live show played on The King Biscuit Flower Hour. Pretty certain they played a couple of shows in KC in 76 or 77. Couldn’t score tickets though.
That’s some vinyl I’ll be listening to this weekend. [Reply]
