My good friend Jefferson Parker reminded me of Roy Harper’s legacy and his influence on Jimmy Page – after he listened to a new Graham Coxon tune. (Curious if anyone has highlighted Graham’s superb musicianship on his latest release – so many reviews these days focus on everything but the actual performance) He was impressed with GC’s new tune. Jefferson is a music professor of mine. Besides writing and performing great songs, he has been pricing used LP’s for 15+ years at the largest indie shop west of New Mexico so for him to give thumbs up – must mean somethin’. He confirms my suspicions when I am jazzed by new, or old song. I have faith in his ears. Sometimes he flat out says’ I’m tripping. I like that too. Hats off to JP, GC and LZ – I normally don’t wear a hat (accept on Yom Kippur).
