We always keep meaning to stop in and see the grave...Kent, isnt it ?

I think I've read that the site is in Renton. There's a cool statue on Broadway, just down from the Seattle U. campus, and across the street from Seattle Central Community College. Ah, learn something new every day... no mention of this in the wikipedia piece I looked at. Rickie Lee Jones was a military brat as well, and spent alot of her teen years in Olympia, WA, still has family there I think.

Walter Egan - Fundamental Roll
(1977, Columbia) Promo/NFS; MASTERED BY CAPITOL in the deadwax; produced by Buckingham & Nicks, they do background vocals

Nice. I have a copy of his 1985 Showdown! with Albert Collins, Johnny Copeland and it smokes. He sold alot of copies of Strong Persuader, I see it alot, have never seen the Afraid Of The Dark title while making the rounds.

I have also seen a lot of vinyl...and never saw "Dont be Afraid of the Dark" b4 ...even in catalogs..

Of course, the DAY after saying that I never see this title, I run across it in the 50 cents clearance shelf at a Half Price Books.... classic~!

Heart - Little Queen
(1977, Portrait) "Go For It" and KENDUN in the deadwax, side 1

[SEAWOLF97]

Gabor Szabo - Rambler
(1974, CTI) "Van Gelder" in the deadwax

Szabo is listed as the author on Santana Abraxas of "Gypsy Queen" , which is the ending to the trio commonly called BLACK MAGIC WOMAN. It opens with "Singing Winds/Crying Beasts" then to "BMW" and finishes with the high energy "Gypsy Queen"

Szabo's version of "GQ" is far different that Carlos's that ends in the 3 guitar slam ..WHAM..WHAM..WHAM at 45 seconds left and culminates in the fantastic tuned feedback ....have not heard any other recording by CS where he did GQ as well as on Abraxas ........Outstanding

Interesting, I didn't know that was a Szabo tune. Yes, I've read that Santana was very influenced by Szabo especially after hearing his playing on Spellbinder. and this with a mic'd acoustic guitar! I grab everything I see by him - alot of his catalog is on the wonderful CTI label. I couldn't find a clip of Szabo playing GQ, but did find a (smoking) clip of his here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXN7aN0UVU8

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A1bor_Szab%C3%B3

His playing incorporated elements of folk music from his native Hungary and rock music's use of feedback. His composition "Gypsy Queen" became a hit for Santana in 1970 (see Black Magic Woman).

http://blip.fm/profile/GrassyKnoll/b...bo-Gypsy_Queen

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Magic_Woman

the introduction of the song, which was adapted from Szabo's "Gypsy Queen", consists of simple hammer-ons, pull-offs and slides, before moving into the introduction solo of "Black Magic Woman." After the introduction solo, which follows the same chord progression as the verse, the song moves into an eight-bar piano solo on D minor, and proceeds to two verses sung by keyboardist Gregg Rolie. Two verses of guitar solo follow the two sung verses, which is then succeeded by another verse, before moving into a modified version of the "Gypsy Queen" section from the beginning of the song, to end the piece. There is also a single edit that runs for 3:15. On the radio the piano solo is sometimes omitted while "Gypsy Queen" is almost always omitted, whilst other longer versions have since been released, including one which runs for 8:56.

Sweet, thanks for the link. I've heard that, yep it's on the 1966 Spellbinder title, Ron Carter on bass, Chico Hamilton on drums - wow. I really like his playing, sad that we lost him.

looks like I haven't listened to Abraxas in almost 2 years. I'm overdue

after my post last night abt Abraxas , went to bed with the pod & IEMs ...I had just reloaded the pod as it seems to distort when tunes are deleted and added over time. Abraxas is one of those "have to always be on the pod" albums...so got up and added it.

Gypsy Queen on there is really intense and I had the gain rather high , so on the 3 guitar WHAMS at the end of GQ , felt my eyes wincing at each one ....think I had a big smile too ...


the pod doesn't push enough power for the preferred Senn HD-580's , but does fine on the IEMs ...but my minidisk portable does handle the Senns well ...mebbe I'll put Abraxas (the only MFSL disc I ever bought) on to MD and really do it right ...

Heart - Little Queen

Yeah they were contemporaries, and the drummer was actually from the same N. Seattle high school. I know that for awhile one of the sisters had huge old estate/mansion in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle very close to Volunteer park. Great players, and Ann with that singing voice. They made some nice sounding records in the 70s, mostly played too much for me now, but still fun - hard to choose but I think Dog & Butterfly is the current favorite.
