Commentary:
Just got back from a week in Colorado -- what a spectacular trip! We got to see family (many of whom we hadn't seen in years) and then took off for a few days up in the mountains. The six-mile hike through Rocky Mountain National Park was one of the most awesome experiences of my life -- as in scary-as-hell, do-or-die awesome -- ascending to over 9880 feet, scrambling across rock faces and leaping across rushing streams of snowmelt. For a couple of acrophobics, it was challenging indeed. But we survived to tell the tale.
I also got to do some record shopping while we were there, stopping by Bart's and Absolute Vinyl in Boulder; Black & Read in Arvada; and Wax Trax and Twist & Shout in Denver. I had been saving up for this trip, knowing that incredible records can be found in Colorado. I made a little video showing my haul, if you're interested:

Cool bunch of records Rodger, that Gong record is great and I use to have the vinyl version way back but have it on CD now, their "Shamal" album from about the same time is also pretty good. I just love Spirit and had most of the early albums on vinyl as well,one of the best 60's bands.
Roddus.
I checked out The Rugbys on TIDAL and I am enjoying it very much.
Hi, Roddus! Yes, great fusion-y Gong record! I have a white-label promo of "Shamal" was well -- need to give that another spin! Agree with you re: Spirit. Discovered them through the VC. That Rugbys record is wicked! Thanks so much for reading, watching and commenting!
