I'm not aware of any limit. Good thing, otherwise I'd have to banish myself. :nunja:

How you do go on.

I leave this forum in your "capable" hands for a week of vacation and return to find that Santana's first album didn't even get an honorable mention? You are all dead to me. Off the twig, kicked the bucket, shuffled off your mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible - Dead.

Out of the psychedelic "we did something weird, that's good enough now let's go get high" culture of the San Francisco Sound, Santana says "Eff you all, that's not good enough" and produces a rock and roll album with tons of energy, amazing percussion, Latin tinge like no other band in town and tops it off with Greg Rolie's deft keyboard work and Carlos Santana's signature guitar riffs. The album's a danged classic only marred because the tracks were all cut to three and four minutes. But Bill Graham imagined radio-friendly tracks from this jam band and being young and new to the game, they followed the advice of a guy who was making a lot of bands famous, so you can't really blame them.

So that's where Trane went! I moved him back to where he belongs.
