1960's Style Psychedelic Jack Green 'Portrait of a Young Artist'

 

One of the many wonderful things about The Fabulous Jack Green is that unlike many of his fellow musicians, Jack's memory is razor sharp. 

 

Apparently there's an old saying that goes like this, "If you can remember The Sixties, you weren't there..."

 

Hogwash! 

 

Not only was Jack there, and writing, recording, producing and directing several projects simultaneously, while playing his guitar, he remembers where he was and what he was doing at the time.

 

Look at the incredible body of work he created with analogue equipment that many of today's musicians would turn their noses up at.  Nowadays you can push a button to correct a recording error.  Mr. Fabulous usually did everything in one take.  Two takes if he was double-tracking his own original riffs.  Listen to The Pretty Things 'Silk Torpedo' on vinyl to get a feel of how things were in those days. 

 

Let that be a sweet reminder for those who have every piece of modern technology at their fingertips and still find time to complain that things are so difficult.  You don't know how good you've got it, and, your memory isn't that good either.  Now stand back, sit down, listen and let the master show you how it's done.
