It's good to see Pete still out and about and still chasing the voodoo down.

@TheRealDerfMan ah, what a sweetie you are.

[TheRealDerfMan]

@talkingwall ...ok... "the solos on Agharta and Pangea sure as heck don't feature Gaumont..." Yeah, no shit, sherlock... Gaumont wasn't in the band by the end of 1974, so OF COURSE those solos don't feature him 'cause HE WASN'T THERE.

Ya know what? My ears will prefer certain things that others like yourself may not necessarily prefer, 'cause we're all different!! I prefer Gaumont's solos. Big fucking deal...! And I really don't care who agrees or disagrees with me. Sorry..!

[talkingwall]

@TheRealDerfMan Well the solos on Agharta and Pangea sure as heck don't feature Gaumont and they are as amazing - maybe even more so - than anything I hear on Dark Magus.

used to study under Pete for little bit. he was an insane guitarist.Blew my mind but I don't he ever explained to me the reason why he strung his guitar the way he did.

Pete Cosey rocks!!! I actually had the good fortune of meeting him and I spent some time discussing the trials and turbulations of being a musician, life on the road with Miles, touring, etc. I am forever grateful for the wisdom!!! :)

Pete Cosey manda !

Children of Agartha really ought to consider recording this in the studio, with the Estate's permission of course. Calypso Frelimo could do really well with updated instrumentation and technology.
