HW: 1st Album

[William Duffy]

Back in the 70's I heard the Pink Floyd track "Echoes", which was the
kind of music I had never really heard done by a rock band, however,
other tracks by Pink Floyd, good as they are, never stirred the same
emotions. I then searched for other bands, and came across Tangerine
Dream, who almost recreated that feeling. Then, one evening, I was
listening to the radio (YES. THE RADIO), and heard what the announcer
said was a rare piece of music by a band called Hawkwind. The track(s)
they played were "Countdown" and "Born to Go". I then rushed out the
next day and bought their current release, "Roadhawks". It was
brilliant, though the track I really wanted,"Countdown", was missing. I
then bought "Space Ritual", then "Warrior on...", and so on.

Ditto.
I also want their music played at my wedding (if it ever happens), and
birthday parties. I had to suffer my 21st, when my brother insisted that
nobody wants to listen to my racket, and then he spent the rest of the
night playing Bee Gees, Village People, etc., etc.

Anyway, I'm starting to ramble.

Bye for now,
