I'm floored Prof. Now that's going deep ! Shocked that anyone else remembers these guys. They were prog before the was prog.
Funny, I just asked Alexa for Turn Turtle the other day (didn't know it of course)
I'm still floored, I expect to hear about Bloodwyn Pig, Fat Mattress or Bloodrock next

I read Halsall's name in an article and thought he should be included here. The song above just popped into my mind as I read the piece. Hadn't heard it--or thought of Halsall--in a million years.
You're correct when you say they were prog before prog was a rock concept. Very interesting music that I'm sure I did not understand fully as a kid.
@Fudbutter Listening to this great one over coffee. Showcases Halsall's gift of playing both guitar and vibes. Also, is this prog or jazz? What an underrated band.
Read this article yesterday on George Freeman. I have heard the name. But did not know much about the man who was an important part of Chicago's bebop scene. Reading the article, it is clear that he is an incredible and influential guitarist.

"Bird just grinned. He’d never heard a guitar played like that!" He saw T-Bone Walker, worked with Charlie Parker and uses a drawer-knob instead of a pick: Chicago jazz supremo George Freeman, 96, looks back over an epic career
He’s a bebop originator who’s played with everyone from Charlie Parker to Jimmy McGriff and who saw the popular music transform from jazz to swing and beyond. Now in his 90s, George Freeman has a new album out…

I have a bunch of pictures with Steve & Phil. I have met both a few times. Tony & Mike & Peter I have met once each but with no pictures,
Don't forget this super guitar player.
I miss the tights.
@Fudbutter As we're both fans of Paul Gilbert, thought I'd post this fantastic interview with Rick Beato. Gilbert is as frenetic as his playing, and just as entertaining. Really dug his take on so many musical aspects/directions.

"My style is perpetually confused because I love Burt Bacharach just as much as I love Yngwie. Can I fit those two things together? I don’t know”: Paul Gilbert explains how he developed his playing style (or lack thereof)
The shred icon who introduced the Makita drill to the electric guitar says his mission was less concerned with style and more with playing what he liked and playing it well

Man, getting old sucks. One of the greats for sure.
Sad to read that MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer died Friday at age 75. One of the great "power rock" guitarists known for his crunching rhythm attack, searing leads and Townshend-like leaps. RIP.
Wayne Kramer's musical legacy lives on as fans mourn the MC5 rock icon
Wayne Kramer died after a brief fight with pancreatic cancer. He is preceded in death by his MC5 bandmates Rob Tyner, Fred Smith and Michael Davis.

This is truly what a gifted from the gods guitarist looks and sounds like. So calming and soothing.
OK guys take a break form the strings for a moment & enjoy the Keys

Rodgers Only 40 but he seems older and a bit shaky. Came out of semi-retirement to play the season...... Man are we in trouble
