Mr Short Shorts! The ONLY one that ever Demanded I GIVE him my recording of the (lame-?) show at ADAMS he'd done. He kept talking about how he'd.. been up for....3 Days... playing... video games... ("Whew!")...' Cheap, low Pro- was afraid it'd be released in the condition he was in. Didn't even thank me for the ride to A Holiday Inn - I hope it was the same one. What a guy. Up for three days huh? Hmm

the story I heard recently, was that Al Kooper went to the west coast and heard a group of guys with horns playing amazing stuff and he copied them with NYC area pros and put that group together to rush an album out before the Chicago Transit Authority, later, just Chicago, put out their first album. One is the loneliest number that you'll ever know.

I would love to meet Al Kooper - He doesn't get the credit he deserves for being the architect of the sound of Lynyrd Skynyrd - Those first few yrs were amazing and I can't help but think if Al would have been around to advise Ronnie there wouldn't have been a plane crash - I think the world of Al Kooper - And yeah I'm from the country and I still like him -

It is awesome to see Al!! I used to hang out with him in Atlanta. Since there were no cell phones, we lost touch with each other. I have regretted that for many years. He is a great and interesting guy!! I am thankful to see him doing so well. I read that his health has been challenging. One of the last times I saw him, he was playing with Dylan, and for some reason, I had to wait in the hotel room 😅. If anyone can pass a message along, please tell him hello from Barbara in Atlanta!

7:05: "Four Jews, about the same age, forging a new sound." It's a joke eliciting audience titter, but the truth is that the remarkable contribution of Jews to creation of the new popular American music is a mostly untold story (unlike the well-known history of American black influence, which is of course foundational.) Aside from Dylan (Zimmerman), Brooks (Goldstein), Bloomfield, and Kooper, you had Grossman as manager and Robbie Robertson (if you want to count him) on Blonde on Blonde. Beyond this was the Brill building songwriters, 95% of whom were Jewish, Phil Spector, and a few hundred others who played pivotal roles.

Make no mistake---the Christian music labels are just as corrupt as the secular labels. And they can pretend all they want to, and they and the Christian radio stations can make you believe that they are a ministry---but they are a business, first and foremost, and a corrupt one at that

I once got to see Al Kooper playing on stage with Rory Gallaher for the full concert on St Patricks Day 1980 at the Lyceum in Old London Town. After this show Rory and Al then moved onto The Venue, to play a two hour after party show together. I was sure that they were going to blow the roof off the building with the power coming off the stage, one of the very best concrete I got to see

'When I became a believer in 1981, I was coming from the 70s rock ‘n’ roll as an unbeliever, Steve Taylor really gave me some Christian music that I really liked, so thankful to him, never did get to see him in concert which I would’ve really liked to of done, one of my all-time favorite songs of his is, harder to believe than not to, but there are so many songs he has that I still listen to, God bless you Steve!!!

Al's Hammond B-3 organ playing on those initial Dylan tracks he played on had a huge impact on the sound of those recordings -- huge - and it was not only the sound but more importantly what Al played, which he thought up on his own and created, he was not reading charts or told what parts to play - he played on instinct and feel. Magical stuff!

As much as I love Highway 61 I've a love hate relationship with Al Kooler simply because I've had to lug so many bloody Hammond Organs & Lesley speakers up & downstairs all because of Al. If only there had been a Farfisa in the studio when they were making Highway 61.🙂
