Hey. Born in '63, I fell for the band Deep Purple, like many. After all those years, all those abums and so many many spinoff bands, i must admit that 3 albums kept me goin' : one of them is Slipstreaming. (The others are Glenn Hughes' Play me out' and Tommy Bolin's 'Teaser'.)
"I can play as well as you but the chances got you through". A legacy in one phrase. Just remember that your music got me through. If ever you bring out that album on vinyl again,... let me know. It's a masterpiece.
