<<Bob, did you really write this? If so, did you really mean this?>>
I did write it, but I don't think I expressed myself clearly. Nothing new there... I certainly wasn't trying to compare STAS with SIAM. What I was saying is that STAS was probably not deserving of 6 or so Grammies in 1969 any more than SIAM was in 2002. It would be interesting to look back and see who won what in 1969, and also what other great records came out then. If I recall correctly, '68/'69 was a pretty fertile time for rock & pop music! ;~) Is that any better, or do I still sound like the village idiot? Bob NP: John Hiatt, "Through Your Hands"
