Those Hippy 60's wasn't all just all about rock and roll, bell bottoms and smokin Acapulco Gold ... to me it was an era of discovering the very fine music emerging back then that greatly influenced me to this day ... south of the border there was Paul Butterfield, Wes Montgomery, Bill Evans, the ever evolving Miles Davis and John Coltrane, here in Canada there was the brilliant Lenny Breau, Gordon Lightfoot (mentioned earlier in this post) ... the British Invasion to me was the discovery Bert Jansch, John Renbourne, Pentangle, Fairport Convention, John Mayall. I've never stopped listening to this music, so in my own way I'm still an old hippy from the past ... but they also left the element of joy in dicovering new music, new artists to this very day.
