I'm a lucky man this holiday season
My wife took my kids to our local used vinyl shop and each of them picked me up a Christmas gift . . . She thought it would be interesting to see what they selected without any help .... and I think they did quite well
My 11 year old son bought without hesitation:
Ten Years After – Hear Me Calling Decca – 6.28364 DT, 2 LP, Compilation, Germany, 1976
My fiddle playing son gave me this:
Pat Metheny Group – Travels ECM Records 1-23791 US 1983
My guitar playing son gave me this:
John Fahey – Christmas Guitar - Volume One Varrick Records VR-002 US 1982
and My mandolin playing daughter gave me this:
Tracy Nelson & Mother Earth - Poor Man's Paradise Columbia KC 31759 US 1973
I think i got real lucky on this one, I found out my daughter picked this one because of the dog in the picture (she is a dog lover)
yet the lp is some great blues/folk and Tracy Nelson sings well!
