Corry342 @corry342.bsky.social · 21hweren't the Sutherland Brothers the "friends of a fancy persuasion" who rehearsed bassist Tex Comer from Ace, who caused pianist Paul Carrack to wonder "How Long?" That's how I heard it anyway. 120

Corry342 @corry342.bsky.social · 24/09/2026As if last night's update wasn't enough, we have a new wave. Wise scholars--one in particular--have contributed numerous dates to the Youngbloods Performance History from 1966 to 1968, and I have updated the post (again). rockprosopography101.blogspot.com/2026/09/the-... 010
Corry342 @corry342.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Thanks to scholarly reader input, we have discovered numerous new Youngbloods performance dates from the very early 1965-66 period. Folk-rockers played a lot of weird gigs in those days. rockprosopography101.blogspot.com/2026/09/the-... 070
Corry342 @corry342.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The Youngbloods were unique in that they were East Coast folkies who became West Coast hippies. I look in detail at the band's performing history from 1966 to '68. Their history is very different than other groups of that era. rockprosopography101.blogspot.com/2026/09/the-... 0151

Corry342 @corry342.bsky.social · 03/09/2026The salary cap and the draft are what give relatively insane valuations to NBA franchises. The Angels (MLB), in a huge market, only sold for $4B, less than the Blazers. If the Cap can be circumvented, it costs the owners billions. 110

Corry342 @corry342.bsky.social · 21/08/2026It's a rare thing to come back and headline your High School as a big star. Joan Baez did it in '61 (Palo Alto HS) and Paul Kantner did it in '66 with Jefferson Airplane at St Mary's (albeit at the college, not the HS). 130
