I actually mostly took this thread as an opportunity to say, "oh, and I also like this and this stuff, in addition to prog. rock." No big feelings of guilt here -- except over some of that dance stuff.

Methem, in the 70's I went to a 10 day Woodstock like Concert. Powder Ridge was cancelled by a Judge and all the acts cancelled because the court ordered no one could use the stage. 50 thousand still came for a weeklong festival.
One night at our Campfire, a young lady came and began to play to us acoustic.

Melanie was such a beautifull soul as she entertained us and then went on to another fire. ....Ill never forget her and this is not a guilty pleasure, just a pleasure

Thanks for the recollection, sharc. Sounds great. I saw this on Wikipedia: "In 1970 Melanie was the only artist to brave the court injunction banning the Powder Ridge Rock Festival and played for the crowd on a homemade stage powered by Mr. Softie trucks."

Hey, Rick, some day you need to do a show on Airplane and those other like-minded artists from that era...
