Al was my boss at the first job I had out of college. Great guy.. and we still maintain occasional contact (not as much as we used to).
Anyway, he's the guyt that turned me on to a lot of the older artists that I still listen to and obsess over. (You have him to blame for me going on and on about Martin Newell and Roy Wood).
I just put this together for him, but thought that I'd share it with y'all, too.
