John Waite in Austin

Posted on April 1, 2018 by Steve

RIP: Jack Bruce

Posted on October 25, 2014 by Steve

This bassist/singer was a key part of my Classic Rock education via KLOL from 1982-4. Until I had moved to Houston, I never heard of Cream. Eric Clapton certainly, through his solo stuff in the Seventies. I never knew Slowhand … Continue reading →

Reviews for late September

Posted on September 26, 2005 by Steve
