Ha! And About That Panning On the Drums ...

Thanks for the memories, rlindsa.

For Christmas one year (probably 1969), my parents gave me a set of Magnavox headphones. My dad ran a line from the Magnavox console in the living room under the house and up to the head of my bed. At bedtime, I could put LP(s) on that baby, turn off the lights quickly, run to my bed, get under the covers, and listen!

I'd owned the album for some months, so I'd heard the magnum opus, but just “normally.”

And I had heard things about the drum solo.

That first eyes-closed, lying in bed, first-pair-of-stereo-headphones experience of Ron Bushy's Great Solo was my first – and maybe still strongest – psychedelic experience.

Bear in mind that, at age 16, I hadn't yet tasted beer, let alone touched anything stronger of any sort.

Simply stated, the drums floated around my head in a circle. Can't remember if it was clockwise or counter-.

¡WoW!

I've still got the LP, though I haven't heard it in decades. Haven't even cleaned it. I may have to get that baby back up and running. See if I can find the innocence to appreciate it anew.
