Sorry, "Abraxas" (including "Black Magic Woman") wasn't released until 9/70, four months after Peter Green left Fleetwood Mac. I didn't pull that anecdote from thin air, have you read the Christopher Hjort book on the British Blues movement? That book has been a godsend compiling media publications from the period, and pasting them together into a cohesive story about that great period from '65-'70 with Mayall, Cream, FM, Derek and the Dominoes, and the Stones.

I have the deluxe edition of "A Hard Road", and all the tracks you mention do not have that "tone". First off, "The Supernatural" was done in the fall of '66 as it was part of the original "AHR" album. Peter Green didn't have his pickup problem until at least late winter/early spring '67. You're confusing echo with "out of phase". "Greeny" to my ears is pure bridge tone, as are "Rubber Duck", & especially "Curly". "Curly" sounds like Jeff Beck so that immediately rules out "out of phase".


The second track from "Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac", play it now if you own it ("Merry Go Round")! That's is "THE TONE"! It's thin, and honky, there is no John Mayall song with Peter Green that has that tone.

BTW, why are you defending that blog? The guy was completely clueless. You of all people should've known that, or at least I thought you did. Now I wonder.

I wasn't defending anything....I'm more of a prosecutor.

Just yankin' yo' chain. I was just being "full o' crap". Just trying to get a response. "Let's see what happens if I jab with this stick" kinda thing.

Like the Monty Python skit: "Uh....I'd like to have an argument please...."

"No it isn't"

"Yes it is"

"No it isn't"

Thanks for making me feel like Dr. Temperance Brennan, while you're Seeley Booth. (Netflix turned me into a "Bones" fan)


"Thank YOU Bicycle Repair Man!"

This is my favorite MPFC sketch, it's a mockumentary on a boxer named Ken Clean Air Systems;


"Every morning, he jogs the forty-seven miles from his two-bedroomed, eight-bathroom, six-up-two-down, three-to-go-house in Reigate, to the Government's Pesticide Research Centre at Shoreham. Nobody knows why."

I like to think of myself as a blues guitarist version of Jack Hodgins.

So you like to be left for dead somewhere in a southwest desert by Billy Gibbons after you (Jack Hodgins) broke it off with his daughter Angela? You know Billy was/is a Peter Green fan, how great is that?

Oh, of course! But, if you'd seen the last season's ending episode, Jack & Angela ride off into the sunset together.

Just listen to:

Brown Sugar
Just Got Back From Baby's
Blue Jean Blues
Asleep In The Desert (basically a Tex-Mex version of "Oh Well, Part 2")

Any of those it would hard to distinguish Rev Willy from Peter Green's playing.

I tried to watch "Bones" last season without the background of the previous seasons (since "Fringe" now follows "Bones", a show I've watched since the very first ep.). Without the backstory of Dr. T. Brennan, the show doesn't make sense even in season five.

Now that I've seen the previous four seasons', I understand everything. I've only seen a handful of eps. from season five, I will gladly buy season five on DVD in October. I'm aware of Jack and Angela are back together. At least we haven't seen the last of Mr. Gibbons on "Bones".



What makes this show work is that the writers know if Bones, and Booth actually "hook up" it's completely over. If anyone remembers "Moonlighting", or "Cheers", you kill the tension, and the fans get bored. I think the two will eventually become a couple, when the writers, and producers decide to end the show.
