I was worried that I might get chastened for this subject matter being who these guys are.
I'm glad somebody might stick up for me.

reminds me of this quote

That's a pretty cool mix Kurtster. GFRR had some really good deep cuts that were never played back in the day. I don't know all of these tunes but I will have to check out some of them. And I dig your segue theme here too.
So is this still a physical media effort? I did a few of these years years ago (Coffee Break; Cold Outside; Law and Disorder). It would be fun to do it again but I don't even have CD capabilities any more.
that's a minor detail
e-delivery is fine by me
we'd love to have you
The only intentional song was the GFRR track. I scored the album at the record fair that I went to in November after looking for a copy on vinyl for around 30 years for this song in particular. It is just one of those songs that just hit me the right way so powerfully way back when it was new in 1975. Have no idea were the original copy went and the CD just didn't do it rightly. From the GFRR album Survival, that nobody ever really heard of.
The rest of the playlist just built itself after coming up with Meadows, which is another one of these songs with similar power to me and the only song that I could come up with as a bridge to the rest of the songs since the first track is not exactly one that plays well by itself out of the context of the album. So for lack of a conscious theme I went back to the well with the old Segue This theme from back in the early days of the RPMCC. Perhaps the theme might be catharsis if anything.
The cover is also a reprise from the earlier volumes of the Segue series with a picture of Oregon's Smoking Sisters volcanos. The original picture I used I took from the plane as I was returning from a visit to hippie in Portland is lost somewhere in the piles of files on a computer somewhere.
They're all deep personal favorites and I hope that they played together nicely for a mix suitable for a drive or a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Y'all
