Sep 7, 2009 - Yes, being on top of your peers is always a cause for concern at that age. What I do know is that there were groups divided into categories in my section of the country. There were heads, intellectual heads, ditzy heads (lol) and so on. Those that smoked etc., to follow weren't into activism for the idealism either. Nor did they even know about politics. They just were into the drugs for the drugs sake and what it did for them. Just making a sociological point here, not dissing anyone, either.

Oct 20, 2009 - Like many suffers from manic depression aka bipolar Michael Bloomfield, had he lived and given proper treatment might have lived and had a more productive life. Those were different times and he self medicated. Michael has always been a blues hero of mine R.I.P. Ed Ward wrote a great book about Michael "The Fall And Rise Of An American Guitar Hero". Somewhat hard to find ,but well worth it.

McGarVision Says:

Oct 20, 2009 - Jan Wolkin's book about Mike--available on Amazon--is definitive

GalaxyRover1020 Says:

Oct 20, 2009 - I gotta disagree about the Wolkin book being "definitive. I read it, liked the free cd of early acoustic Mike. But overall the Ed Ward book covered much more "in depth", lots of cool/interesting trivia etc.

Nov 10, 2009 - This was from a very good time for me and probably many others too. its difficult to believe that m1 korgs were around in 1968

McGarVision Says:

Nov 11, 2009 - They weren't. This is a self created video by me and is not footage from the actual recording sessions.

Nov 24, 2009 - GREAT music - love the melody lines. Mike Bloomfield - legendary guitarist (with a 59 Les Paul). Al Kooper - one of my all time fave organ players, with Greg Allman and Steve Winwood...
