Back then I often went to a pro rock disco and the DJ had Mirage in the playlist. He then put e.g. often from Camel -"Lady Fantasy" then onto the turntable (and the other good stuff). Everyone danced to this sound! These times will never come back. It was amazing.
Yeah, incredible bass line. I’ve been listening to this for going on 50 years. Check out this bass cover of Mirage. I can’t tell much difference between this and the studio version. ruclips.net/video/95kCrzyWdlc/видео.htmlsi=b8EOEacAF_aUjWUC
I was introduced to Ponty when he played with Zappa in early 70's. Then saw him in concert with Jan Hammer in 76. My rock & roll roots have morphed into an eclectic tatse of many genres. I'm thankful to Ponty for helping steer and broaden my musical tatses starting in my early 20's. Now in my early 60's, still widening my musical horizens and having a good time doing so.
@@Richard-ec8xy Thanks for the recommendation. Sublime. I follow Gilles Peterson and Sons of Kemet quite a lot but I didn't know about The Comet is Coming. Need to get this album. Hallelujah!!
Vitor Moraes I am struggling with the same situation my dad passed away 3 weeks ago he introduced me this master peace I was afraid to listening to music again because I was afraid to face the pain but right now my dad is with me... saludos desde el Salvador
Had a friend in the mid 70's who was a jazz nut. He convinced me to go with him to see Jean-Luc Ponty in Ann Arbor sometime around 1977. The show was great and I've been a fan ever since. Nobody was playing like this guy back then.
Cool... I started back in the 70s when Miles moved into electric. There was a whole lot going on there that I wasn't aware of and as you know there was Jean Luc Ponty, along with Weather Report, Return to Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra (where he often contributed). You might want to look into the new wave of electronics with groups like Phaeleh (Fallen Light), Klimeks (Etenally Yours), Gidge (Huldra_Other version), and Pensees (Murky) are a few of my favorites. Give it a go - you never know...
After years of being a rock/metal guy, I'm finally discovering jazz fusion and I feel like I'm being transformed...how could I have been missing such brilliance all these years
Musta Krakish Now imagine how you will fill with the Music education

Musta.... you most likely are being transformed. I'm glad for you... and want you to know those years when this was being played live were a great time. I saw/heard JLP many times in concert-and it was quite the thrill! Tight bands-great music-and LOUD as hell! Enjoy!
wow one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time. Miles. Coltrane, Montgomery, Chick Corea., Ponty. Joe Pass. What an honor to listen to such great and well thought out music. What a masterpiece. .
Discovered this tune 42 years ago or so - it's part of the soundtrack of my life. Love the bass player with his fretless who should be shown more often here
This song is alchemy like so much of Ponty's stuff. Friggin Rayford Griffin. Need I say more? So good and his stuff w Ponty was so influential to me as a young drummer working on timing and groove and feel and of course, chops. Still remember seeing him on the Fables tour so dynamic, so smooth
Rayford is unbelievable. On Final truth he’s spectacular. But when I hear this I miss the groove that Steve smith played on the album. A more laid back two handed hi hat with the 2 snare hits.
I have am the youngest in my family and all my older brothers and sisters turned me onto music way ahead of my time. This was one of them and I love it to this day.
this is music of the spheres. It makes you want to live forever. The Cosmos people should use Jean Luc's music. And Jamie Glaser syncs in perfectly with ponty's thought processes. WOW!
Yesterday i wnt to his concert in Argentina, and when he started playing this song, I turn to my friend and said to him "I can't believe we're going to hear this live"... it was THE moment...
I’m 60. I have introduced many people to the magic of JLP, Dimeola, etc. I never tire of watching their face the first time they listen. Then they start writing things down......gotta get this. 🤙
I found Jean-Luc Ponty by accident in an LP store in West Berlin in 1980. His music pulled me through some difficult early years in life. Genius. Transcendant...
Heard him by accident also, early 1980's in USA, Massachusetts. Then soon after i got to take 4 friends to his concert in Albany NY. unforgettable. I'm 72
First time I heard this band (I'm more into rock) at the end I had a smile on my face. Actually I stuck around to listen to the whole tune because from the start I saw the guitar player was really enjoying himself and seemed happy with his group. I love to see people enjoying themselves and these guys showed that to me.
😊Muchas gracias señor Luc Ponty, doy gracias por tener mis sentidos buenos para escuchar esta gran obra echa por usted!! !🎵🎼 Me lleva al infinito cada vez que la escucho!! Hoy en mi gran Soledad, la vuela escuchar y es maravillosa!!!🎵🎼🌟 Hoy 11 de Mayo,2024!! Gracias Señor Jesn Luc Ponty!!🌟🌟🎼🎵
A co-worker of mine was all into this guy back in the early half of the 80s. I think I ended up buying 3 or 4 of his albums. I still have the cassettes in amongst 300 or 400 other ones in a box in the closet. Every once in a while I try to look up some of these old groups on RUclips. Just a treasure-trove....
My brothers and I would still and would listen to Jean-Luc one of our favorites Simply the Best!! So much fun. Back in the 80s we got to meet him in Merrillville Indiana! There are no words for such stellar Stellar Talent. We love you Jean Luc Ponty!!!
yo tube el honor de estar y platicar con Jean Luc Ponty en Zacatecas Mexico, es aun mas increible verlo en vivo, es uno de los mejores musicos de mundo, y es super sensillo, asi es como es un musico de verdad, el concierto fue muy emotivo, fue algo que te llega al alma, indescriptible, algo que solo algien como el es capaz de lograr
I first started listening to Jean-Luc Ponty in 1971 and I'm still listening to him today 50 years from now people will still be listening to Jon Luc Ponty
I was introduced to JLP in 1983. KLBX in San Fran was play his Modern Times Blues on the radio I forever have lived by his wisdom in music. Thank you JLP you are an amazing artist and one of a kind no doubt. If you want a mental vacation travel with JLP...... Open Mind and beyond
I had the lovely pleasure of meeting Allan Zavod in person, many years ago...such a delightful person and fabulous musician. RIP and long may he live through his music. Peace on your eternal journey, my friend.
@@manuelsantos2199 ✊🏽 I was late teens/ 70’s when I got HIP to JLP....Bought at Fedco & VIP records respectively in Los Angeles I have Enigmatic & Open Mind LP’s/ Album’s 🤘🏽🤗✊🏽...Aurora/Renaissance was my first taste 👅 is Fire 🔥 Open Strings has hints of Pharoah Sanders music 🎶 💪🏽..
l, i was blessed to see mr ponty play with frank zappa in princeton university, 1971, i was 17, and only knew music of santana, the doors and jimmy, after the concert i said to myself what was that. after that i listened to every type of world music..still listen to his cds, i am 68..
@Rhizosphere anyone know what keyboard is that? Trying to learn this song for school and trying to replicate this sound in mainstage but im new to synth
@Rhizosphere Thanks I appreciate it! I did not know I will look it up, I’m kinda new to the whole synth world. I’m curious to know, what are the other 2 synths that you love?
I'm grateful at age 22 that my ears could be Graced by something so unique and beautiful as this. true musicianship and passion. I dream of being able to accomplish such a thing as jean luc ponty
I rly don't like jazz at all,but this.....my father tells me that he played it years ago and send it to me..can't stop listening its amazing.Just love that melody.
I love this guy. I can play almost all of his albums on the drum kit. Learned most of them over 20yrs ago and I still play them often. Wow Made me learn so much after that! Thanks Jean Luc and Rayford!
......still i admire and highly feel this nice song from the great composer Jean Luc Ponty In my early 60s going back to my 20s and feel the same perfect mood MAGIK .....THNKS LUK
My dad took my sister to see JLP at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver BC, 1992. They had front row seats. And my sister, now 37, says she had a bad childhood!!! I only get to listen to the records with my dad while he reminisces about the blue violin and how well it was played. Hahaha, ask my sister about the Cocteau Twins concert she saw when she was a kid.
A buddy of mine in 1975 introduced me to Jean-Luc-, and Imaginary Voyage! Ever since, now at 47 years the musical journey continues through today, August 15, 2022! I saw the Cosmic Messenger tour at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby, October 10, 1978. That show became Jean Luc Ponty live, released in 1979! Ongoing greatness!
I was staying in Plainfield, New Jersey in the summer of 1978. I had a temporary green card. A housemate had a Jean Luc Ponty album of which my favourite track was "Mirage". I played it one last time, slipped my ruck sack on my back and hitch-hiked up route 22 to Vancouver, down to Los Angeles and on to El Paso, and back to New York via Memphis. It took 3 weeks of pretty constant movement. I have never been back to North America since. The Mirage is remembered.
Saw them live multiple times; love all these lovely young players...and love the music-making they made...this is what standing the test of time means... beautiful now and then. So fabulous! This is how it's done kids. That's all, no hollering; no noise and for sure no nonsense.
Went to a Ponty concert at the Spectrum in 77, Philly. Ralph Armstrong on fretless bass... Unforgettable. Rode there from Penn State on my Yamaha RD350
I remember seeing Jean-Luc Ponty years ago! What a great concert he put on. The lights thru his violín were so cool! I wild love to see him perform again.
Zavod's synth solo is incredibly amazing. I'd concentrated on Rayford listening to this before, but to play keys like Zavod is an entirely different thing. Amazing.
Mark Craney is to this day unsurprised in creative, tasteful technical mastery. What an amazing talent...He continues to hold the top spot in my opinion. Awsome drummer who I can listen to endlessly and never get tired of. His live drum sound is absolutely incredible....Thanks Mark
Watching Him and his Group - Front Row at Toad’s Place in New Haven, Ct s and at the Shubert... we were Front Row Balcony and he and his Awesome Band came back for three encores for us !!!!!
I discovered JLP in high school during the 80s, mainly because I discovered Allan Holdsworth. I would come home and out Enigmatic Ocean on and be lost for hours, playing it over and over. I would cop lines from JL and AH both. I learned to play, to venture beyond rock and blues from this album. 50 now, and I'm an active composer and musician. I owe a great deal of where my muses led me to JLP and this album.
JLP plays a superb solo on an Elton John (yes, really) album. The song is called Mellow and the track is on the Honky Château album. Fantastic, magical stuff.
Yes Rayford Griffin is awesome! :) I think THIS band was the best of his encarnations. The recording drummer on this "song" (Mirage) was actually Steve Smith of Journey fame....
I think my Jean Luc Ponty Live 1979 record is almost transparent consumed by my stylus. One of my early records I bought. I bought then other copies even on CD but the magic of that first record will stay in my memory forever. At that age this was one of my favourite bands. Loved so much JLOP music.
+Jacob HINDI I've been listening to jazz since 1970 and Jean luc Ponty is in my opinion the greatest solo jazz musician ever, with Wes Montgomery a very close second.
ruclips.net/video/JenWnQDjauc/видео.html Tommy, I will and thanks for recommendation👍I stumbled upon this very interesting character who dissects and reacts to great music 😊he has an eclectic taste you might enjoy !!!
I've seen this guy everytime he came around to the cities where I have lived. Love you JLP!! you bring with your music, that special something that my soul needs.
I was there ... These were times when music was just at another level. These guys knew in what business they were. Masters like they are so few now.
Still... Try "Snarky Puppy", "Corey Wong", "The Fearless Flyers"...
Я услышал эту песню только вчера
" i was there " UAU
I was there too.... I here you. He opened for the Doobie bros.... I was 3rd row center....
Jealousy get away from meeee!!
No one talks about Rayford Griffin, but he is an unbelievable drummer and a huge inspiration!!!
I was thinking the same, this guy is a phenomenal drummer!
So words like them Equally amazing
For sure, you are damned right to mention him, contributes a lot for the coolness of that performance😏👌🎶
Checking him out.
Check out Klaus Weiss if you don't know him.
A great German drummer.
And he still can bring it!
Where has the REAL music gone? This is absolutely beautiful… ✨✨✨✨
Back then I often went to a pro rock disco and the DJ had Mirage in the playlist. He then put e.g. often from Camel
-"Lady Fantasy" then onto the turntable (and the other good stuff). Everyone danced to this sound! These times will never come back. It was amazing.
It has almost all gone electronic, most of it produced by only two guys. No more studio instrumentalists. Except for bluegrass and classical music.
@@nickiemcnichols5397à
The sound quality & warmth of this live recording is unbelievable as well.
It is still there, you'll find it if you look for it. Try Dirty Loops, for example, they are magnificent!
The bassline on this song is SICK. Awesome song.
Facts 🫶🏽👏🏽
I was 7 years old when i heard this for the first time. And yeap,,the bass can keep busy your imagination. Is amazing.
Yeah, incredible bass line. I’ve been listening to this for going on 50 years.
Check out this bass cover of Mirage. I can’t tell much difference between this and the studio version.

when i lived in iceland i used to listen to jean-luc sitting in a lounge chair in my parka watching the northern lights , it was amazing
Mark Moore Sounds like a beautiful way to spend life, living.
Oooohhh i bet!!!

You have lived life, sir. Many more blessings to you.

I'm 60 and I've been listening to Ponty since 1981. Imaginary Voyage was the first album I bought. Jazz Fusion is healthy.
id encourage you to hear Trust In The Life Force of Deep Mystery by a band named The Comet is Coming! jazz is in such a good place these days
@@Richard-ec8xy Thanks for the recommendation. Sublime. I follow Gilles Peterson and Sons of Kemet quite a lot but I didn't know about The Comet is Coming. Need to get this album. Hallelujah!!
Yes I saw him with Zappa, too - 1973 or 74 in Australia. Then I saw him again a year or so later with the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Mind blowing.
Zappa could certainly pick them. He also had Lowell George for awhile. Of course Zappa was one heck of a musician himself.
This song is in my mind since over 20 years - and it will sound there until the rest of my life. Thanks Jean-Luc!!!
really? I have 68 years, This sound was my time yeah
Was the best musical era ,maestros !
my beloved father introduced me to Mr Ponty when I was 12.
Now at 26, dad has passed away but his grandsons will know of such wonder as well
Your Dad had a good musical ear....I salute your Dad!!!
thank you
Vitor Moraes. I was introduced to his music in the 70's as a teenager. Still listening at 57.

Same happened to me in 1977 in Washington DC. I was never the same.
I started listening to Jean Luc Ponty in 1983 and have enjoyed his music until now 2020, great music 😁

Anthony Daniel I'll keep it simple: Ditto.
@@iwant2usethis Yes...I agree...
I first saw Ponty with Mahavishnu Orchestra in 1974. Unbelievably GREAT!! 💙
With you Anthony!!!
'76 til now...equal to Return to Forever...play on dude
Growing up in a musical household. Thank you mom and dad.
Jean-Luc is a total musical genius. He used to roll thru Santa Cruz in the late 70's and we never missed a show.
Happy 78th birthday, monsieur.
Loving the LEFT HAND DRUMMING! This slaps! Ponty is a beast!
After years of being a rock/metal guy, I'm finally discovering jazz fusion and I feel like I'm being transformed...how could I have been missing such brilliance all these years

There is much to discover grasshoper
I’m with you, the musicianship is incredible. A lot of these guys have more talent that a lot of major rock bands out there.
Once you go fusion you seldom go back....
wow one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time. Miles. Coltrane, Montgomery, Chick Corea., Ponty. Joe Pass. What an honor to listen to such great and well thought out music. What a masterpiece. .
I'm 60. Started listening to him when I was 30. Been in a trance every since!
agree
Im 64 and became a fan in the late 70s. I too am still a fan!
I couldn’t agree more
I remember listening and dancing when I was 16 years old in 1977 in Argentina. Nobody loves music more.
Beautiful !!! I never tget tired of listening to it after 40 years!! This music is eternal
Me too!
Music is eternal. It’s like a huge part of us, you know? If music dies, we die.
This song is in my bones....!
Same with me
@Vincent Edgar
Hush! You're making me feel real old! 🎵
Discovered this tune 42 years ago or so - it's part of the soundtrack of my life. Love the bass player with his fretless who should be shown more often here
This song is alchemy like so much of Ponty's stuff. Friggin Rayford Griffin. Need I say more? So good and his stuff w Ponty was so influential to me as a young drummer working on timing and groove and feel and of course, chops. Still remember seeing him on the Fables tour so dynamic, so smooth
Rayford live and on the album are two different things and I love it. Forgot he was open handed like billy cobham
Rayford is unbelievable. On Final truth he’s spectacular. But when I hear this I miss the groove that Steve smith played on the album. A more laid back two handed hi hat with the 2 snare hits.
I am 73yrs old. I know fantastic music, and this it. I can every instrument their playing. Damn
It's 2021 and I'm rocking to this spectacular groove! Music is powerful. It evokes emotions from a long time ago.
I have am the youngest in my family and all my older brothers and sisters turned me onto music way ahead of my time. This was one of them and I love it to this day.
Damn, bass is keeping the whole tune tied down. Exceptional playing by Keith Jones
Allan Zavod's pitch bending is wild!!! Love his soloing!
Music from the heaven 👏👏👏
Its such a shame music aint like this anymore. At least we can enjoy this masterpiece forever!
This song could last centuries for me
this is music of the spheres. It makes you want to live forever. The Cosmos people should use Jean Luc's music. And Jamie Glaser syncs in perfectly with ponty's thought processes. WOW!
Never gets old. Love this piece.
Have been listening to Ponty since the 70s, timeless.
Yesterday i wnt to his concert in Argentina, and when he started playing this song, I turn to my friend and said to him "I can't believe we're going to hear this live"... it was THE moment...
"...THE moment..." ........that you talked over.
Exact same feeling I had when I saw him.
I’m 60. I have introduced many people to the magic of JLP, Dimeola, etc.
I never tire of watching their face the first time they listen. Then they start writing things down......gotta get this. 🤙
58 and the same!! It's great!
this takes me back to my teenage years in the 70s.
Everyone in the band is at the very top of their game and accentuates one another, the product - Beauty! Thank you for your collective creativity.
jamie glasier a beast
Beautiful music never dies.
I have been a serious fan since the early '70s. It NEVER gets old.

One of the best keyboard solos ever
It’s almost been 50 years but yeah you’re right
I saw JLP in London in 76 with Daryl Stuermer. Still one of my all time favourite gigs, especially when he played some Zappa from King Kong.

My Father the Marine introduced me too Jean Luc
Ponty , in 1982 great music for long cross country driving music especially in storms
One of the first songs I heard from J.L. Ponty and been hooked since.

Timeless genius. Love his music since I was a young girl.
There it is... the blue violin I never forgot..

Lost count of how many already...wonderful...
I rly don't like jazz at all,but this.....my father tells me that he played it years ago and send it to me..can't stop listening its amazing.Just love that melody.
Man! Thank goodness for RUclips! I knew a few presentations, but now I'm getting music that I've never heard. That makes it new. Thanks!
I first heard JLP when I was 15 years old. Today, after many years of listening to his awesome repertoire, his is the one and only. Oh, BTW, I'm 55.

As me, since my first paycheck, buy a new one vinil
Love him so much...Have seen him live Eight times including once with Mahavishnu Orchestra!
Thanks for the music Allan Zavod (1945-2016).
I love this guy. I can play almost all of his albums on the drum kit. Learned most of them over 20yrs ago and I still play them often. Wow Made me learn so much after that! Thanks Jean Luc and Rayford!
Please do a drum cover for youtube, would love to see someone play Enigmatic Ocean Part 2!
My nephew who is actually older than me turned me on to it. Been hooked on it every since.
......still i admire and highly feel this nice song from the great composer Jean Luc Ponty In my early 60s going back to my 20s and feel the same perfect mood MAGIK .....THNKS LUK
Time has surely passed but I feel blessed I saw the JLP group in 1978, all stars done and in the making.
46 years of listening to ponty and the band. Bravo!!
This song will be recorded forever in my memory. Modesty part I was very young and already had great taste for music!
Aquí en mi casa, hoy 25/dic de 2021. Oyendo música de este virtuoso, al cual sigo desde 1989. Bendiciones!!
Listen to Ponty while jogging in the 70s & 80s! It took you to a better place! No pain!!!!
bom anos aqueles no final das década de 70!!! tive o privilégiuo de vê-lo ao vivo aqui no Brasil!!

Ever since, now at 47 years the musical journey continues through today, August 15, 2022!
I saw the Cosmic Messenger tour at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby, October 10, 1978.
That show became Jean Luc Ponty live, released in 1979!
Ongoing greatness!
The 70's was a well spring of experimental music..
Never been the same.
I was staying in Plainfield, New Jersey in the summer of 1978. I had a temporary green card. A housemate had a Jean Luc Ponty album of which my favourite track was "Mirage". I played it one last time, slipped my ruck sack on my back and hitch-hiked up route 22 to Vancouver, down to Los Angeles and on to El Paso, and back to New York via Memphis. It took 3 weeks of pretty constant movement. I have never been back to North America since. The Mirage is remembered.

Saw them live multiple times; love all these lovely young players...and love the music-making they made...this is what standing the test of time means... beautiful now and then. So fabulous! This is how it's done kids. That's all, no hollering; no noise and for sure no nonsense.
Went to a Ponty concert at the Spectrum in 77, Philly. Ralph Armstrong on fretless bass... Unforgettable. Rode there from Penn State on my Yamaha RD350
First introduced to JLP by Zappa. Still wonderful. Even to me, at 68 years old.
I remember seeing Jean-Luc Ponty years ago! What a great concert he put on. The lights thru his violín were so cool! I wild love to see him perform again.
I love everything about this track but everyone you HAVE to admit that the keyboard and the bassline are crazy as hell!
Keyboard Allen Zavod played for Frank Zappa talk about crazy... God Bless...
It's an actual bass player. Crazy.
I saw Jean-Luc at Georgetown U theater in DC for the first time in 1980! What a show!
wow nice! how old were you back then? and now? just curious!
Zavod's synth solo is incredibly amazing. I'd concentrated on Rayford listening to this before, but to play keys like Zavod is an entirely different thing. Amazing.
Try looking for Allen Zavod when he played for Frank Zappa...
anyone know what keyboard is that? Trying to learn this song for school and trying to replicate this sound in mainstage but im new to synth
@@antonylinteau3408 someone said at another post, that's an ARP 2600 synth.
Amazing musicians! Long time listener to JLP since the late 70’s. Finally saw him in concert in 2010 and was blown away!
@Joanne we are here we are here!!!!lol
Allen Zavod RIP, saw him a few times with JLP, great keyboardist
I saw Jean-Luc Ponty back in 1976 at a jazz club in Ithaca, New York. Great concert.
RIP Allan Zavod, one of Australia's greatest..
So right! One of "the greatest" period!!
Mark Craney is to this day unsurprised in creative, tasteful technical mastery. What an amazing talent...He continues to hold the top spot in my opinion. Awsome drummer who I can listen to endlessly and never get tired of. His live drum sound is absolutely incredible....Thanks Mark
It's really a great song , great vibe in it, unequalled!
Watching Him and his Group - Front Row at Toad’s Place in New Haven, Ct s and at the Shubert... we were Front Row Balcony and he and his Awesome Band came back for three encores for us !!!!!
There is so much emotion and passion in this song!!!!! Brilliant!
I discovered JLP in high school during the 80s, mainly because I discovered Allan Holdsworth. I would come home and out Enigmatic Ocean on and be lost for hours, playing it over and over. I would cop lines from JL and AH both. I learned to play, to venture beyond rock and blues from this album. 50 now, and I'm an active composer and musician. I owe a great deal of where my muses led me to JLP and this album.
JLP plays a superb solo on an Elton John (yes, really) album.
The song is called Mellow and the track is on the Honky Château album.
Fantastic, magical stuff.
I saw Jon Luc Ponty in Chicago in the 80's.This very group! Jazz Fusion to the core!
Yes Rayford Griffin is awesome! :) I think THIS band was the best of his encarnations. The recording drummer on this "song" (Mirage) was actually Steve Smith of Journey fame....
Wow! I never knew that about Steve Smith!
@@ixnay66 played w/ Jean Luc on a few recordings!
I think my Jean Luc Ponty Live 1979 record is almost transparent consumed by my stylus.
One of my early records I bought.
I bought then other copies even on CD but the magic of that first record will stay in my memory forever.
At that age this was one of my favourite bands.
Loved so much JLOP music.
Amazing, amazing, amazing. God bless you JLP: you music make me happy for years. This band is absoluty perfect! Rayford Griffim: monster!
I use to clean 2 this.
This is one of his most memorable....wow...takes me way back!
+Jacob HINDI I've been listening to jazz since 1970 and Jean luc Ponty is in my opinion the greatest solo jazz musician ever, with Wes Montgomery a very close second.
Yeah this song is the one that takes me back to when I first listened to JLP. I feel like I'm 15 again!
This song is on his live album which I recommend highly. Casey Schurell on drums and is just unreal. Get it.
ruclips.net/video/JenWnQDjauc/видео.html Tommy, I will and thanks for recommendation👍I stumbled upon this very interesting character who dissects and reacts to great music 😊he has an eclectic taste you might enjoy !!!
I've seen this guy everytime he came around to the cities where I have lived. Love you JLP!! you bring with your music, that special something that my soul needs.
saw this crew in the early 80's absolutely light up The Palace in Albany!!!
