It occurred to me yesterday while posting the above that the musicians I enjoyed in the 70s - whether early CCMers like Barry McGuire, Annie Herring, Nancy Henigbaum, and more or jazz fusion musicians like George Benson, Jean Luc Ponty, Earl Klugh, and Bob James - are all getting up there in years. McGuire is, IIRC, semi-retired and may soon be receiving the ultimate "higher".
