Wayback ... a word about triptychs

What we're gonna do right here is go back ... way back.*  Back into time, when digital music was only a gleam in Steve Jobs' eye. 

Big Joe Turner, Otha Turner, Ike and Tina Turner.  The Stooges, Bowie, Mott the Hoople.  Grandmaster Flash.  Dr. John.  AR Kane.

Not your everyday blog sensations.  But seminal musicians that every budding musicologist needs to know.  The source.  The roots.  The genesis.

Think in threes.  That's Triptychs.  

(Technically, a triptych is a work of art that is divided into three sections, but who's quibbling?)

Consider Triptychs your ticket to the past, present, future of all the music worth hearing.  Call it TripTix if you want.  

Get on the bus.  Get on the good foot.  Get on, get on.
