On Hold music still exists? I thought most companies had better soundtracks these days.
On another note: I was at Trader Joes the other day and Dinosaur Jr came on. Never thought I'd live long enough to hear Dino Jr in a grocery store . . .
I mean, seems like every day we are losing those who made the music of our upbringing (if you are of a certain age and liked certain kinds of music).
RIP Spot…(Glenn Lockett). Producer of many early SST (Black Flag, Minuitemen Husker Du) records from Spin Art Studios in Hermosa Beach
He was also the staff photographer for the local Easy Reader newspaper and documented the early skateboard, roller skate and punks scenes in the South Bay in the late 70s / early 80s
Google "Sounds of Two Eyes Opening - Southern California Life : Skate/Beach/Punk 1969-1982 " for a glimpse of his photos. If you can an original copy of the book from 2015, it will set you back more than a pretty penny . . .
RIP David Lindley, virtuosso slide player and multi instrumentalist who played on all of he seminal Jackson Brown, Warren Zevon, Linda Ronstadt records as well a many others, including a hit of a cover of Mercury Blues with his own band El Rayo - Xx
