The Ram

Wow! Some great picks there. I like your equal mix of jazz and pop. That's how it should be (although I've never been able to totally do it so far).

Perhaps I scrolled too quickly, but I didn't see Forever Changes by Love on there. Have you checked that out?

Hi Sgt Pepper, thanks for the good word on my fave albums list. You had asked about Love's "Forever Changes", and I haven't heard it. I've heard much about it, but have just never picked it up. As I understand it, or have read, it's a loungy Baroque psychedlic thing with some fuzz?- like a quirkier and trippier Bacharach/David vibe with guitars?, I could be way off. But I love the '60s and all it's many variations on pop/rock..is it a must have?
