"It was the middle of the American century"...awesome, a great summarization of that time period. Knowing a bit about post-war British culture and the hurdles the UK faced, the breaking down of conformist society, the end of colonialism - it blows my mind that the kids of the era just rose up and blew the doors off of popular music worldwide and laid the groundwork for everything about modern music that ever mattered to me as a young man starting in the 70s, and very much up to today. The bands coming out of the British Isles were so aware of the width and breadth of international musical influences, whether eastern, western, avant-garde or traditional and they borrowed from whatever sources they were aware of. What an incredible musical revolution, and one I'm forever grateful for.

Underrated and way ahead of his time in terms of tone and technicality. I am fortunate to see Ash play annually, easily an influence on me and should be up there as a house hold name with Jimmy Page, Iommi, Ritchie Blackmore, jeff beck.

With all due respect to the amazing Wishbone Ash, The Allman Brothers were not influenced by them at all. In fact the Brothers had probably never heard of them when they formed in early 1969. The dual guitar interplay of Duane Allman and Dickey Betts was something totally unexpected that developed when Duane was trying to recruit Betts' bassist Berry Oakley into his own band.@@stevetivey3786

Working stage Arkansas River Blues Festival 1990 Albert kings van pulls in with a small trailer. Albert gets out and he comes up to me, I get a stage plot. Photographer took a picture of us and sent it to me later. When it was his turn to set up he just let me do it. I set up his amp pulled out his flying V and sound checked it, just played a few riffs for the sound man to get a line check. There was about 10,000 people out there. I was amazed that I got to play his famous flying V, still AM.

Why is the sum 3 for me a magic number? It's the same for such bands, it's basically a law of nature: after the third LP/CD, etc., everything went down musically and qualitatively for everyone. From the genius of the first three albums to good ore normal to embarrassing. The reason is that youthful creativity and Inspiration is lost. Or they died at the age of around 30. A natural law that was only withheld from f.e. Bach and Bethoven and Hayden ect. and some jazz musicians and singers.
