Stu McHopton

Hi Joe, Best Regards, I love Mac. I hung out behind a theater here near Boston when he was accompanying Billy Bragg on B3. I had a mint copy of the first Small Faces LP and he was really cool about signing it and shooting the shit for a few minutes. Austin is top of my lost of US cities to visit and I will be sure it coincides with a Bump Band show. Cheers.

Ian Stewart, Ian McLagen, Nicky Hopkins & Billy Preston I presume? And no Chuck Leavell? Al Kooper? (although he only played on one track IIRC). regardless, cool name, and welcome. You got it mcgoo! No disrespect intended to Mssrs. Leavell and Kooper. I cut my teeth digging into Leavell's work on the Allman Bros "Bros. and Sisters", (esp. Southbound and Jessica IIRC), and as for Kooper the first BS&T album is a fairly recent diskovery for me and I have always loved Blonde on Blonde and Super Sessions (esp Season of the Witch).

Also, as prompted by Mr. Mcgoo. My name is Ted, I am from E. Coast U.S. My user name is an anagram for the different keyboard players of a little British Rock n Roll outfit. I love basic blues and blues based rock, classic pop, prog rock, psychedelic and garage rock. I also like jazz and am open to all musical ideas. I have come here for great information before purchases and enjoy the discussions here. I am hopeless when it comes to Midi. I was inspired by a recent thread here and am re-learning theory and how to read with some Bach preludes. It is opening up some insights into my rock playing and at the the very least improving my fingering. I enjoy beer and my favorite keyboard player to watch live is the great Terry Adams formerly of NRBQ. Best Regards
