The Space Cossacks, Penetrators, The Fathoms, I really like The Falcons from Canada, Mike Beddoes is a really fine guitar player.

That's were The Impacts started and got signed to Del Fi in 1962.

Likewise, one does not practice meditation to become a great meditator. We meditate to wake up and live, to become skilled at the art of living.
