Thread Name: Most Influential Album?
Subject: RE: Most Influential Album?
Sorry, GUEST,Anonny Mouse (that's you, isn't it, Marty. C'mon, don't be shy!), but look HERE. Third one listed. And from what I saw, other than Seeger himself, Bob Gibson was the pied piper of the Vega "Seeger Model." After meeting Gibson when he did a concert here it Seattle (he was here for about two weeks, so we had plenty of chance to get together), and after talking to him about it, I got one myself ($295 at the time, and it weighed a ton!). This was about a year before anyone had even heard of the Kingston Trio. There were a couple of them kicking around Seattle, and if they were here in this far corner of the country, I'm sure there were a lot of them out and around elsewhere.

Well, Marty, "Mr. Mouse" must have read my overlong screed because he mistakenly thought that he had caught me in a mistake. So I find lots to talk about. If what I write bores you, don't read it. Besides, I'm not debating you or anyone else, and I haven't lost anything. I'm just telling it like it was. Take it or leave it.

The reason you get your facts so screwed up is that you're too hung up on winning or losing. Getting that ego-involved tends to make a person careless and sloppy. And your Multiple Personality Disorder starts acting up.

Don't worry, if I feel like it, I'll be back. If not, I won't.
