3. Well it was almost before my time LOL
So I don't know that much about Jan Akkerman, but Focus was recommended by somebody and it's amazing. Especially Eruption. A song lasting 23:04 with 16 (!!!) parts.

4. I only found out about Focus later
But growing up in Detroit, I definitely got an earful of Akkerman's solo stuff.

Loved it ever since

6. He is truly a guitar legends
Basically Focus is all I have - playing right now - but it's superb. It's definitely there with Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep and the other great bands which were playing when I was still in my diaper or even before that LMAO

5. A fellow Framus user...
I can't believe that I used to pick up those things for $25 in pawnshops, and now they go for hundreds of dollars! Damn retro fetishists.
