When I saw BBA it was with Black Oak, and the James Montgomery Band...You can
imagine I didn't like BOA... I don't really know what "stoner rock" is. The really
fcced up kids used to go see Ten Years After or Tower Of Power.... explain that to
me then...

eh... that is generous.
I saw Beck at least ten times, starting in '68. He quickly recovered from BBA. The
next time around he had Bernard Purdie on drums. Now there was a heavy hitter. The
band with Cozy Powell did some very surprising things. If my pal hadn't taped the
gig, we wouldn't have believed what we had just heard.

Stray? I know some guys in the UK who might agree. All that stuff: Black Cat Bone,
May Blitz, Stray and the rest just escaped me. I probably owned these records for
a while, or as long as it took me to get from the radio station to the used record
shops.
I'm scratching my head here wondering how you made the transition from stoner rock
to power pop. a great leap.
