Great story; wish I could have heard her play. |

Its nice to hear the roots of some of my favorite music.
Proof that a good riff will always be a good riff !!!!!!
So many of the rock musicians of the 60's had roots in classical music. That's why it was so good.

I kept thinking that Jim Morrision was too drunk and kept missing his intro so Robbie just kept playing waiting for him to stumble out.

Well, this Suite was written by Albeniz in 1887, so technically, perhaps he was before the Doors? |

You've heard it in "Oh Well" by Fleetwood Mac, "Spanish Caravan(?)" by the Doors . . . |
