Congratulations to Al Kooper for his election to the Long Island Music Hall of Fame

Al Kooper has been mentioned several times in this journal.  I have followed him since his days in the Blues Project in 1966.  In my opinion he is one of the most underrated performers in rock history.  Yesterday after I returned from the Oldies Meet and Greet I turned on WFUV where Pete Fornatale was playing tribute to Al for his election to the Long Island Music Hall of Fame.  Pete was playing hits where flute music was featured in honor of Flute Thing which appeared on the Blues Project Projections album.  I actually have a vinyl copy of that album that I bought back in the 1960s.  At 7 PM Pete's interview with Al was aired on WFUV.

Congratulations to Al for this honor.  If I had my way he would be inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.
