Very cool clips, thanks. I remember the first time I heard Sun Ra. It was at a record store in Pasadena called PooBah, and all the employees were older guys (relatively) who had "advanced" and "adventurous" tastes in music (in my 13 year old opinion). I went there looking for some ska revival records, like The Specials and The Selector. It ended being my number one record shop, and I ended up hearing a lot of Ra, Beefheart and Zappa over the years. :farao:

As much as I've tried to forget, yes, sadly, I remember.
