Such a joy hearing all of these Peter Lang tunes. Takes me back to ‘73 when I first heard him. His song, “Future Shot at the Rainbow,” was a staple on one of Houston’s rock stations. Based on hearing/loving that song led me to purchase his LP, “Thing at the Nursery Window,” then later, while looking for more Lang, stumbled upon a Tacoma-label LP featuring Lang and two players I’d never heard of: Leo Kottke and John Fahey with Fahey’s four pieces blowing me away. Got to see Fahey at Anderson Fair in ‘86. Great show for a small but attentive audience. Thanks for sharing your stellar playing and obvious admiration.
