If that means you were turned OFF by The Band, then I feel sorry for
you, Ken,,,,
If, on the other hand, it was so good you just knew nothing could touch
it again...
well, then, I can understand (although I find there are a lot of
contemporary singer-songwriters [mostly women] who aren't making
millions but are turning out really fine music. Jazz if another story
entirely, & there's a lot of good stuff still out there, not to mention
all the fabulous material being re-released...
oops, sorry, began to get serious about all this there....
