From Russia With Love. One of the better “music is the international language” stories. How a 60 year old retired Russian musician transcribed Chicago Transit Authority by ear and created the ultimate tribute band. With rock verboten in 60s Russia, creative players made guitar boards from mom’s furniture,vandalized phone booths for magnets, and copied American vinyl records on to Soviet x-ray film, complete with body parts. Allee Willis is a pisser; never knew that story about the writing of September by Earth Wind and Fire. Worth the time, especially with a snow day today if you’re in the northeast.
