Cool people are everywhere, I meet a lot of them at work. A local guitarist had heard that i played in various bands and suggested a visit to You-Tube for Johnny Winters "Keys to the Highway" (which was good). I countered that the only thing i had to offer was a theological website that provided a Catholic/Orthodox/Augustinian refutation of modern american fundamentalist protestant anti-evolutionary claptrap, to which he counter offered this: Chris Smither origin of species
Great stuff!!!

Bill,
you are certainley an impact player!
years down the road from listening to 'Hamberger Concerto" I had thought Focus to be Jan Ackerman and some ad on musicians, but as the video illustrates, these guys hold their own.
Ackerman has blistering speed along with a harmonic sense that seems part Hacket part Fripp, not all 'technobation" i.e. Ingve Malmstein.
The keyboard player was quite a showman, putting focus in the category of idiosyncratic, flute flaunting frontmen, along with Genesis and Jethro Tull.
Thanx
twas coool indeed!
PS wiki does a half decent job on Jan Ackerman for those who wish to study further
