‘Elegy No. 1 in D Major’ by Miyung Sung
This is not a cello…It’s a double bass…The lowest bowed instrument in modern orchestra…Remember how I talked about passion and natural ability being what I admire most in a player?…This gal knows this instrument…And she loves this instrument…She would make any composer proud…Elegy is one of Bottesini’s most renown pieces….Have a listen :)
‘Discipline’ by King Crimson
31 years ago today this phenomenal album was released (Starting to feel old yet? ;) This album ranks in my top 10 all time for sure…Amazing musicianship and even more amazing time signatures (I still wonder how they pull off some of these complex rhythms :/ This album is a mix of beauty and reckless abandon…Quite amazing to be honest :) Have a listen
‘Stone Free’ by The Jimi Hendrix Experience
45 years ago today we lost this man…I am not sure Jimi was the best guitarist of all time….But…He certainly was a huge innovator…You can hear his influences all over the place…Even on today’s radio ;) …It was his attitude…It was “Jimi talking at ya”…And you listened!…Here’s to no musical boundaries …Boundaries don’t matter…RIP Jimi
‘I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night’ by The Electric Prunes
Classic “60’s Psych…I usually don’t remember a lot of my dreams anymore..Last night was different..I mean damn!…I especially hate when the dreams really don’t make any sense whatsoever :/…Here is to deciphering what the visions of sleep really mean…Have a listen :)
‘911’ by Animations
A interesting Progressive Metal song….In retrospect to the all the innocent lives lost 14 years ago today…
‘Hell Or High Water’ by Y&T
Happy Birthday to Mr. Leonard Haze….You were the backbone to this great band for many years….The first time I heard Y&T I was blown away…It had the Passion..Power..and Groove I was looking for….I still really like early Y&T..You know they say “When you get older..You wont listen to the same music you use to listen to as a kid”…Well Y&T doesn’t apply…You rock Leonard \m/
‘Hello Darlin'’ by Conway Twitty
Happy Birthday Conway Twitty…He is one of the older Country Music Artist that I can still listen to…Seems like Country/Western artist back in the day wrote in a more simple manner..And straight from the heart…Country music today isn’t Country…It’s usually more like Pop..Rock ..Or some kind of Mainstream B.S…There are a few that still pull from the older stylings of Country…But not a lot..Conway would have been 82..R.I.P….
‘Xanadu’ by Rush
Happy Birthday Alex Lifeson…He is one of the greatest underrated guitarist of all time…..His knowledge of chord construction used to compliment the other great players in the band is amazing…The solos are always well thought out…And not a simple as they may seem…He is certainly one of my top 5 guitar players of all time…Have a great one Alex….. :)
‘Freewheel Burning’ by Judas Priest
Happy 64th B-Day to Rob Halford..A definitive voice in Heavy metal…Great vocal prowess…And a great front man…Judas Priest Rocks!…Have listen \m/
‘The Chaos Of The Cursed House’ by The Laze
This is track 3 off the Phantom of the Opera 1925 OST …I like this album…The compositions are well…..Avant Garde (since it is hard to pin down an exact style) The songs are quite a mix of different genres….This one is more along the lines of Progressive Rock/Metal…Have a listen :)
