Turntable Tuesday! Traffic “Mr. Fantasy”

Happy Holidays! It’s Turntable Tuesday because life is too short not to listen to great music! This week on Turntable Tuesday I am opening an unopened copy of the remastered 180 gram pressing of one of the classics from the band “Traffic” called “Mr. Fantasy.”

Crank up your local speaker or get out there and support your favorite live band! What are YOU listening to right now?

I have seen Steve Winwood many times in concert and I have a secret. It never gets old. I have seen him long ago in the 1980’s and many times recently. I am currently holding tickets to see him again in 2022 which was a delayed tour form 2021. I could write many stories but I suspect my other posts have some of those stories in them. Not so long ago I had some fun hanging out with Dave Mason for a few minutes before his show in a sold-out theater. I still remember showing the photo I took of him in the late 1970’s to both he and his wife that night. I also remember laughing about how much hair we both had back then and saying “We may be older but we are still cool.” That was a great night of music! All of the musicians in the band ‘Traffic” were super-talented and still are. At this point there is so much history out there about all of these guys and large catalogs of great music. Some of the vinyl like the one featured for this blog post and companion podcast are now re-mastered and pressed on to 180 gram vinyl. I am slowly adding some of these albums to my collection as time goes on because I really enjoy listening to these tracks and exploring the music in detail.

I will tell you all about this debut album from “Traffic” this week on my podcast so be sure to tune in! There is so much to talk about with this one! You can listen on this page or just search “Andrew Talbert” on any podcast application where you get your music! Be sure to subscribe and follow each week as new content typically arrives each week.

Have a happy holiday season and I’ll talk to you on the podcast!

Until next time I’ll see you, down the road.
