First song to "Blow You Away"...

"Surealistic Pillow" by Jefferson Airplane back in 1967 in LaCrosse, Wisconsin at around 10:00pm in the dark with earphones on at the Spook House (the name of our place at college). It was the first time I believed that perhaps levitation was possible.

I see some of you other geezers had to dig through a deep pile w/ feeble tools for this one. Seems like there were quite a few light bulbs, fire crackers, earthquakes, quasars and omeletes. Can't be sure what did it first... Donovan/ Sunshine Superman, Stones/ Jumpin' Jack Flash, Hendrix/ Puple Haze, Them/ Gloria. If you're cruising at a Pink Floyd elevation you can get shelled by Crimson, Can or Mahavisnu Orch. after that you're toast.

The first song "tbma" was my first record purchase.-- Les Paul and Mary Ford's The World Is Waiting For The Sunrise.--(Even tho How High The Moon came out first.)
This was a 78 rpm--played on our windup player. I must have played it so many times the needle cut thru to the other side.(Stylus force must have been 3 lbs.) Altho I must have a million favs---The cd I've listened to the most has to be Roger Waters' Amused To Death. I would come home; put this on repeat and this went on for 2/3 months---Without listening to anything else. This confession may explain somethings about me??

Avguygeorge, perhaps you were like Bill Hubbard, out there in "no man's land" and dripping with sweat.

An amazing piece of music. I have two copies on LP, one to play and one for backup in case something happens to the first. Too important a piece of art to ever be without.
