Brothers Scott and Jeff Christensen have been discussing, arguing over and mostly agreeing on music for over half a century. That's a lot of time...here's how that time transpired...
Scott's musical claim to fame is he worked in a record store
in the 70's and wrote record reviews for his high school newspaper. Okay... not
so impressive. He read every Rolling Stone and Circus magazine cover to cover
in the 70's. Also, not impressive. But he did win over $50,000 in 70's Music
Jeopardy. (That's a lie.) In all seriousness, Scott is a retired financial
planner who loves rock music and has many opinions about it. He resides in New
Hampshire. He would love to hear from you at scott@soakininthe70s.com.
Jeff's perspective comes from that of a semi-pro musician,
i.e. someone who gets paid to play...sometimes. He's started playing sax in the
70's and harmonica in the 90's and has played in bands ever since -- lot's of 70's
music -- they even let him sing once in a while. As a denizen of the local open
jam scene, Jeff is constantly playing with a variety of musicians and styles.
He combines this perspective with the desire to pin down what makes a song good
and then he molds it into a well formed, yet somehow dubious, opinion. He
awaits your reaction from western Chicagoland - go ahead, email him at
