Thanks for the memories. Everyone who could “play” a guitar could play the intro.

Awesome tune.

Here’s something that is Prog. but with a boat load of Blues.

Deep Purple - Lazy

Awesome! LOL! Actually I think I have it bookmarked already. I think I picked the album up in NY when our ship was there for Navy Day.

Saw them sing this live at the Terrace in Salt Lake. No mistaking that Hammond!

Great rendition, even if all the drugs screwed up the lyrics a bit.

I got to co-author the biography of Mark Stein, called “You Keep Me Hangin’ on” which we decided from the beginning would be more than a biography-—it is a full history of rock from the 1960s on. It’s available athis website, www.mark-stein.com and I loved learning all the inside scoop about my favorite 1960s band.

It was rock organists like Mark Stein, Gregg Rolie, and Keith Emerson, along with the jazz organist Jimmy Smith, whose music led me from the piano to the organ. I “graduated” from rock to jazz to classical, and ended up in musicology rather than performance (though I’m an organist for a small church), but there’s still a soft spot in my heart for their music, and I wouldn’t mind playing the organ for a Vanilla Fudge revival :-)

Let me add this: the Fudge opened for Hendrix circa 69---before Woodstock---and blew him off the stage. It was the single best rock performance I ever saw, and Appice's drum solo that night was the best I ever heard, and I saw both Bonham and Baker live, too. The Fudge were at the absolute top of their game, and Hendrix was tired and drugged out by that point.

I later got to film their producer, Shadow Morton, who died just a couple of years ago after we filmed him. He took full responsibility for the Fudge's disastrous second album, "The Beat Goes On." But the truth is they ALL bought into it, and had an over-inflated view of how popular they were. The Beatles could have gotten away with that, but not the Fudge and not Zeppelin and not Cream at that time.
