Terry Dolan Terry Dolan 1972 us amazing classic rock with psych country and blues flavours 2016 remaster and expanded On April 24, 1971, the San Francisco Examiner ran a piece titled �The Hit That Isnt a Record.� It was about an unsigned local musician named Terry Dolan who was �doing the impossible � having a hit without making a record.� A demo tape Dolan had cut with Rolling Stones piano man Nicky Hopkins had found its way into heavy rotation on two FM underground stations, and one of the songs, Inlaws and Outlaws, was lighting up the phones. The article would prove strangely prescient, because after the demo helped land him a deal with Warner Brothers, Dolan made a record that never became a record. At least not until forty-four years later. Music history is peppered with lost albums, those vinyl equivalents of Atlantis � from The Beach Boys Smile to Princes Black Album. But what if not only a landmark album went missing in time, but along with it an artist and the potential of an ...

Terry Pratchett has walked into the Country of the Dawn

Terry Pratchett has walked into the Country of the Dawn Very sad news today....Terry Pratchett has died at aged only 66.  He had suffered from early onset alzheimers for 8 years... in other words he wasnt even 60 years old when he got Alzheimers... in the same way Pat Summitt, Lady Volunteers basketball coach, also was diagnosed with this awful, awful disease when she was in her late 50s...not even 60 years old. His obituaries say he died of natural causes, rather than taking his life... I find that difficult to believe as a healthy person (except in mind) could live for 90-years with this awful disease. I wonder if the media didnt want people to know that Mr. Pratchett took his fate into his own hands and welcomed Death on his own terms, as hed said he would - and I admire him for it.

His work has lon...
