Q&A | Get to Know Me! 

comment here if i got your name wrong - i am no better than the friendly neighborhood starbucks barista :’)

Rock n' Roll (and heavy metal) never died. The mainstream just stopped paying attention to it.

I'd definitely love a fashion video, especially as someone who loves 60s/70s fashion but gets overwhelmed with all the choices!

Hey Abigail. I just found your channel today (23Mar2024) and liked it so much, I'm starting with this, one of your first videos. I looked over the albums you have done, and I love about 70% of them and like the rest!

Full on respect to you Abigail, taking on board the sounds (and sights) from the 60s/70s. It’s SO refreshing to see you being so enthused by the music that I,as now a 63 yr old grew up on…luv your channel. Queen II review?

Monkees and Head is great. ‘Do I have to do this all over again’. As for Chicago ‘Does anyone really know what time it is’. And yep from a design graduate love yer fashion statements. Thanks. You’ve bought Hanna Barbera back to life.

For 1966 you should do If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears by The Mamas and the Papas (but that’s just cause I’m a big Cass and Michelle fan 😂) and I’d love to see more fashion videos!

The fact that you are a MC5 fan makes you an amazing person. But you are also a wealth of knowledge.

Nice job! Boomer-aged musician/collector here. 1966 was, IMHO, the greatest Pop year ever. Try Kinks' FaceToFace, Who's A Quick One, Pet Sounds, (and most of the original SMiLE tracks), Byrds 5D, Love's DaCapo (Side 1 at least), and of course Revolver, Absolutely Free and Blonde On Blonde you know - plus tons of astonishing Motown and Stax singles... Trouble is, '66 was a transitional year for albums being created and marketed as more than just a collection of singles and filler. So the LP did not become the "calling card" of youth music until the following year especially after Pepper... Keep up the good work, it's important.

Queen II is utterly fantastic. A crazy medieval painting as well as some great ballads!

I love Living In A Material World, it’s the first George album I every got on vinyl.

I’d love for you to review Yes’ Fragile. It made me a Yes fan. Check out the LP with the booklet.

Hey Abigail! Nice to know you're a Michael Nesmith fan. He frequented the music store in Carmel where I worked. I told him I thought Head was one o' the best Monkees albums 'n he wholeheartedly agreed! I was front 'n center for his 2019 concert in Sand City. His two sons were in the band 'n photographer Henry Diltz must have taken at least 1,000 photos. My pick for 1969 is It's A Beautiful Day. For 1966: Donovan-Sunshine Superman, Who-A Quick One While He's Away, Beatles-Revolver, The Psychedelic Sounds O' The 13th Floor Elevators 'n James Brown-It's A Man's Man's Man's World. A favorite Simon & Garfunkel track: Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall. I met Marianne Faithfull when I was workin' at Borders in Sand City. Thanks for the excellent video! Best wishes from John.

Love your 60s style babe

Out of sight video! So 😎, thank you! Inspiring!

I just started watching you, Abby! So enjoying these videos! Thanks! 😊😊😊

Back in about 1988, when record stores still existed, I went into the used record section of the record store, and found all three of the first Alice Cooper albums on the Frank Zappa Bizarre/Straight label for $5 each. Ten years later I sold all three of them for $100 each.

Thanks for sharing your albums and your thoughts and feelings. You're a delight!

It makes me feel good, when I watch your videos. Rock On, lady!

yayy thank u for featuring my question!! i'd love to see some fashion videos or maybe sewing process

Love your channel, positive energy and presentation style. 😎 I have not seen a vinyl review I haven't loved yet. It's clear we both love the same music!!

Did not expect to hear Ogre Battle to come out of your mouth. You are full of surprises! Love you!

Great Q&A video Abby. The viewers came up with some good ones. I wish now that I had thought one up myself. Maybe by the time you do another Q&A I'll come up with one.

I enjoy your show alot. It's a good escape from any of life's stress factors. It's like listening to an old friends from the past. I guess I miss some of them alot. So thx for being such a great kid!

Fascinating.

luv this one, Abby! BTW great to see u have a CTA! I covered that one on GXM!

Just recently found your channel - what a musical breath of fresh air! Love it...... - David.

Nice to see some love for Godard and Marker.

My favorite RU-vidr and my favorite girl 😘😘🧡🧡

Great origin story! Just found your channel as I've been talking a dive into vinyl again. Still have some of the ones I bought in the 70's.

i would love a part 3

Loved this Q and A. Hope you do more.

Thank you for your through answer to my question! iMovie is an excellent editing tool. That’s what I thought you used. Looking forward to S2 E1!

A sweetheart U.R. 💖 Thanx for your insights on RN'R on vinyl! 🎸🎵🎶🎸

Like I said; I really love you!

I am brand new to your channel and am so attracted to you mainly because you are so comfortable in your skin. Also, your occasional humor.

I can’t believe this is the first time I have seen this video. Freak out is my favourite mothers album too.

I love your channel. You have an awesome personality. Thank you for sharing your time with all of us!

Fabulous Q&A Video, your channel is amazing!!!

Amazing clothes you've made Abbie! Love how you love the 5 ♥

Hi Abby! i'm a new subscriber but I wanted to say I love your style and taste in music :D love your vids!

You're awesome Abby! So glad I came upon your channel. I to am a 60's buff as far as the music, culture, and generally just their way of life. I was born in '64 the youngest of six boys but still too young to really remember or experience any of the party. I have a vague memory of the first moon landing but that's about it. Like you, music is my world. Been playing guitar for about 43 years (Currently at 17 electrics mostly Strats!) and all my bros and father are/were drummers. I'd love to teach you how to play! Thank you for such interesting, entertaining, and funny videos. (Not to mention you are drop dead gorgeous!)

Yeah, do more fashion, clothes making videos for all the girls/women and guys into vintage stuff - you're really great at it!!! I'd watch them for sure!

Thanks for answering my question, Coming Down Again is a great Keith track, I always hope he plays this song during his 2 song set at Stones shows. Maybe one day!

Abbie, you’ve a lot of people with you, and you’ve inspired us all!

Agree with yer Queen song choices. Those songs were madness and loveable.

enjoying your videos Abigail. Thanks

I’m new to the party, but I’m batch watching your videos like a loved series that just dropped a new season! I also sew, and thrift dive. I’d love your take on fashion and sewing! A second channel perhaps! Anyway, you’re awesome. Love the Circle Sky bumps, and I know that’s Head, but coincidentally my mono copy of Pieces, Aquarius, and Jones LTD just arrived! Looking forward to watching more!

I love your hip 60's look -- really fun :) Enjoy building that collection!

Making clothes must be a lot of fun. My mom enjoyed it a lot . Some girls I knew in high school; in the70'z; made some of, and also modified alot of thier own clothes. I always liked bowling shirts; from the thrift store. KindA rockabilly. Ya know? I like that dress with the frills, nice. That pasley shirt looks like something Davy Jones; of the Monkeys would've worn. Oh all the girls liked Davy. I remember my 6th grade teacher King fun of him; and that missing off some of the girls un the class. I went to Stimson high in Huntington NY. Bob Busch; who made the TV show The Wonder Years was a friend. Unreal huh. Thanks for the great showz. Things Re lot better now. The last 8 months were kinda tuff for me. Alot better now. Your shows always make Mondays fun. Your still my favorite librarian. Thx. Don

Hi Abby, I'm very impressed with your sewing skills ! I had to take Home Economics in school and failed miserably in cooking, and sewing ! I do love fashion,and would love to see you do some fashion videos. Have a great weekend ! Cindy

Yay! She answered my question! Thank you, Abby!! ❤️❤️ (P.S. My second name is pronounced as An-Dray. 😉)

Lovely video, love to know more about this wonderful lady ❤✌there are a few things I have in common 😯

I would love fashion videos because you are the coolest person here on youtube.

Love❤ the Nashville skyline album by Dylan

I would totally welcome some fashion to the channel, Abby. Do what you feel pulled to do. It will be successful! 😊

I love your style Abigail. Amazing! Watching from London UK P.S. Breathless is one of my favorite movies. Jean Seberg was amazing, so iconic.

I also love MC5's Back in the USA. I picked 2 UK pressings of it as well as the latest reissue. Also, your George Harrison favourites are also mine.

I like your style. You make a difference with the style you wear, your personality, and of course your vinyl collection. I love oldies and vintage too, in my case, The Beatles came to my life since I was a kid, and I think the Wonder years TV show made a difference in my life, I have more CDs than LPs, but I have a few of them. I enjoy your videos, I live in San Francisco, so I guess you'll love to visit Haight- Ashbury. I have many music books, so I love the way you are a story telling about the artists and the albums, I love rhino records, they have and had huge oldies releases. We have a local store called Amoeba records, and Rasputin (Berkeley), these are amazing records stores. Keep up your amazing work! Peace and Love, groovy baby!

love your clothes-they are so full of color -wow fantastic !!! keep going Abby 😉😇🥰

I think Talk Talk might float your boat Abby.

Just finished this video. This has to best Q&A I've seen from any You Tube channel creator. There were times I wanted to high five you. ("If The Times They Are A Changin' or Desire was on the list, it would have been different" George Harrison-Mike Nesmith project? Sign me up!). Do these ANYTIME! So fun!

I discovered your channel - and also your amazing blog! - hours ago, I have like....ten tabs open that I keep returning to! Absolutely do some vintage fashion vids, I just learned A LOT! You have impeccable taste.....in music, in movies, in fashion....in humor, in writing, in values.....damn good to meet you, Abbey! You would have fit in at ANY time during music history. The world used to be FILLED with people who loved music like you do. You are a testament to how great this music is and how great these artists were. We weren't crazy! And you aren't either! PS: Man oh man, wait till you hear "Sister Anne", the first song from "High Time"! (Amend that. You've definitely heard it! You just don't have it on vinyl yet!).

Glad to hear you're a Gabor Szabo fan. My favorite jazz guitarist, along with Bill Frisell. Most people your age have no idea who he is/was. --And Szabo rhymes with rob oh.

Hi Abigail, nice to meet ya. My names Chris. I happened across your videos & found myself captivated by them! I'm a vinyl collector myself although I just started. I have about 40 or so. But I wanted to tell you that I just love your quirkiness & the fact that your knowledgeable about the albums your talking about. OMG, and when you dress up...AWESOME!! I see you got the LP3, I got the LP60X-BT right now but I'm gonna upgrade someday to the LP3 too. Well, I just wanted to say I love your channel, and wish you all the luck in the world! Keep those records turning!! 🤘🏻

Adorable and fun.

When it comes to channels with people talking about their favorite music, I never search out for them, I just wait for them to come into my orbit...I never saw your channel until it popped up on my list of channels to watch. First one was the one where you talk about Sgt. Pepper. Enjoyed it, but I didn't subscribe, because I wanted to see if you came back. Sure enough, you came back several times, and I had a good time. But what finally hooked me was the Q & A show, & you were so nice to everyone, I really could sense the fun you're having, & you really are knowledgeable on the classic rock I grew up with, those 30-something minutes finally got me to smack that bell & subscribe. I feel blessed that your show came into my space, cause it easily could've bypassed my whole internet zone, and travelled round & round the globe without me ever discovering it. I feel lucky our cyber worlds have collided. Your show is so much fun, it makes Monday feel like the weekend. Have we subscribed? We are Devoe!!

Green tambourine is a great tune.

My fourteen year-old son hipped me to Tally Hall. Good taste!

YOUR SMASHING BABY!

Hey Abigail, I am very grateful to you for answering my question and can't wait for the video.😍 When you make the video you can also mention that there is a huge difference between the US and UK version.🙈😂 I spent over €60 on the UK pressing and was slightly pissed that White Rabbit wasn't on the record.🤣 I wish you a nice weekend. 😘

Your show s are really edited well. I'm not exaggerating. Your shoes are a good study. The editing you do makes them have alot of personalty. They are a good study. Oh you just answered my question. You do your own production.

25:15 yay, Mountain Goats love!! 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

Just discovered you Abigail. LOVE your podcasts. I own Sunset Records in Somerset, Mass., I had the pleasure to play The Cavern Club in Liverpool in Liverpool, late August (it was fab of course!) with my band, The Star Club, I had a local r&r talk show (Talk n Roll) and a few of the episodes are on You Tube: ( Ian McLagan, The Yardbirds, and Creedence Clearwater Revisited). And lastly, I have had the pleasure to meet Patti Boyd on several occasions. Keep up the great job! Bob Boyer

Would like to see your vintage clothes collection.

Vintage style tips please! for men too!

Loaded is 1970 dammit! Hi Abigail Devoe. Nice vid. You might check out The Luck Of Eden Hall for being one of the finest psych bands of the last 20 year. They kick off my episode 11. An amazing episode really. The Monkees. In 1991 I read in the paper that Rhino was putting out a four cd box set of the Monkees featuring their 80 best songs. I didn't even know that they had 80 songs. But I learned a lot about them and discovered so much good music. I grew up with the first two albums and TV show reruns. So this set was brilliant. You're fab and groovy and these albums are too old for you. Baby. Also I have a zany Introduction To Frank Zappa on my music platform. You're famous. Almost. Huzzah.

your whole operation is very impressive.

Have you ever seen the Incredible String Band’s film “Be Glad for the Song Has No Ending?” Since you love psychedelia you would enjoy it if you haven’t already seen it! Enjoying your videos!

I grew up in San Francisco and came of age in 1968. The music the psychedelic light shows with the blooming of all these amazing albums that you are reviewing. If you imagine growing up, listening to FM radio and hearing all this music come out every week or month that was really what it was about being a hippie in San Francisco going to the Fillmore and Winterland in Avalon ballroom, seeing all these bands play live . The liberal thinking was almost a rebellion. I remember girls couldn’t wear pants to my high school and we had to fight for those changes. basically, this music and that generation created an industry known as rock ‘n’ roll. if you’re interested, I have a RU-vid channel called “Brotherhoodof Lightshow current” I, cover 60s and 70s music. My concert experience shows start with the Beatles at the Cow Palace in 1966 and go all the way through my music career working with The Allman Brothers Band. Love your show. Thanks.

Yes to QUEEN 2 and SHEER HEART ATTACK, both 1974.

Hey abigail awesome video my friend. I have to say u are beautiful. you got a fantastic lp collection. i love layla is a great album mike friend and sub from canada

I keep seeing your references to MC5. But this is one of those things that make me think I've been moved to a parallel universe from my own. Because I have never heard of this band before. And I thought I had a pretty good handle on the classic rock groups, even if I don't have all the albums.

Yes! Freak Out is my favorite Mothers album (now CD), my mom got it for me because the cover looked interesting. Who knew?

Haha I’m not a young man, born to see an Apollo landing but adore your posts.

Im not A big Queen Fan but I gotta admit You Choss wisely For Your Queen albums ,the only change id make as a second choice Might be( a day at the races ) thats just me!..

Abby- outside of Floyd, do you dig on prog ? (Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, ELP ?...) 🚬😎👍

Abigail , Hi', I just discovered your channel today and viewed a few of your vids and I appreciate your efforts here on Y.T. deeply! I would like to rattle off what main points I get from my views here and they are as follows - #1-Zodiac sign, Gemini-Me Too ! #2-Year 1969 -love the music! #3-Blind Faith, I purchased that recording in every format except for reel to reel ? #4-Mental Health,it can be a struggle at times. #5-Spiritualality -You are a blessing to your fellow music lover and you may perhaps be a greater spiritual being more so than perhaps that of the flesh and bone ? #6 - The Monkees and their Mike N., he was my favorite Monkee also and I bought `HEADQAUTERS' when it first came out , Mike said be sure to eat your ruffage on their T.V. series episode #1, cool ! Bless you and may you live long in a life of music Abigail! I subbed! `LIKED'

i saw Dylan in 2004 at Boone North Carolina and his harmonica solo on Every Grain of Sand was a sublime experience. it could have lasted 50 seconds or 50 minutes i dont even know. but it is one of the greatest musical experiences of my life

A movie a lot of people watching this channel might like and may not have heard of is Withnail and I. A cult British comedy made in 1986 and set in London 1969. The characters and story are loosely based on the real life experiences of director Bruce Robinson, who was an out of work actor living in a decrepit flat in 60's London with his alcoholic friend. Loving the channel Abi, your presenting style is informative and fun. You clearly have a passion for the music you review and I love the clobber.

Very cool merci beaucoup.

The Monkee's movie, "Head" is a deconstruction of the '60's.

Hey beautiful, just came across your channel. My first time here and I am impressed. You're doing an amazing work. Keep on. Sending love from my channel. We're in this together 💙

Thanks for making my sad day 😞 always a bit brighter ✨️ 💛 you are such a last fun crush 😍 besides Apple, Buddha records were the coolest 😎 label of all. Yes on to the monkees! How cool can one young respected woman be? Lay down candles in the rain 🌧

Hi Abby! I had seen your photo with The Mothers album and that's why I asked the question, as a joke/wink. then when I saw the video I realized that it was to ask! That's what I get for looking giddy! if I had seen well I would have asked you a substantial question! maybe next time! Of course when I saw this video I laughed a lot with your answer! I appreciate your good vibes! hug! PS: do you like The Deviants? One of my favorite bands :)

I love the Zappa reference (Susy Creamcheese).

The Who Album Quadraphinia; had a book that came with the album. That books storyline was alot different from the movie. Both were very good.

La Jetée is very good. Apparently you know French cinema. You maybe should try Louis Malle who made movies both in French and English. Something like "Les Amants" and "Le souffle au coeur" in French, and "Atlantic City" and "My Dinner with André" in English. Among many others.

love that you like i want you she's so heavy. That song is just the beatles supercharged wish they did more like it.

What kinda of art did you study the most. in college, and what did you get training in there? Who's your most favorite artist? This is a question I love to ask. What did you want to be when you were in the 11th grade? I wanted to be a photographer, sound tech, camera man for a network, or at the least a rock musician in some kind of rock band.
