"Live and learn and flip the burns"
I listened to the Moody Blues "Long Distance Voyager" tonight, first time I've listened to it in a couple of decades. I love Justin H's guitar playing, and that voice!
When I bought the album, I bought Elton John's "The Fox" at the same time. I asked the clerk what he'd heard about the albums. "Shit," he replied. I bought them anyway and they've always been among my favorite albums. By the way, a year after that, I began working at the record store and eventually managed it and a bigger store for the company. Ha!

Watching and listening to the DVD on this. Most incredible version of Voodoo Chile ever.

"Live and learn and flip the burns"
Sgt. Pepper took the world by storm. Perhaps as a result, The Rolling Stones decided to issue their own "psychedelic" album. It was received with mixed reviews. It was a one-time departure from the norm for the Stones.
The original album release (of which I have a copy) had a "holographic" image of the band on the cover (as poorly depicted in the image above). Subsequent releases used a simple photo.

I started another thread on this, but I'm all about Snarky Puppy lately.

"...pray do not imagine that those who make the noise are the only inhabitants of the field;
that, of course, they are many in number; or that, after all, they are other than the little,
shriveled, meagre, hopping, though loud and troublesome, insects of the hour."
-Edmund Burke
Lately I bought the limited edition vinyl of four McCartney live albums, colored Pink Floyd vinyl of the Wall and The Division Bell, and the new Abbey Road vinyl package.
I love this stuff. Wings Over America is a special album to me. I was digging it. Probably my favorite Wings lineup.

I have this movie on VHS (that's old technology for you younger guys) and revisit it on occasion. Today is a slow day at work, and I wanted to see/hear a young Joe Walsh play his Dan Armstrong lucite guitar.
Sibelius' Third Symphony - a favorite that I hadn't heard in quite a while.

"Live and learn and flip the burns"
Confession time: One of my "signature" pieces I've played for decades is "Triad" as the way David Crosby plays it on this release. Another piece I have in my always-ready playlist is "Cowgirl in the Sand," the way Neil Young plays it here (both are acoustic renditions). Lately, I've been toying with "Long Time Gone," as a bit of a jam piece.
Man, when these guys were on, they were ON.
Just turned my girlfriend on to Tears for Fears, so we've spent a few days listening. We've also been on a Weezer kick.

This is such a sonic masterpiece to me.

i haven't listened to this in years. Rediscovering how good the other songs are besides just DYFLWD or Lines on my Face or Show me the Way.

As happens from time to time, another thread inspired me to pull out an old album...

I have decided to be happy because it's good for my health.
Love John Mayall. When i first listened to Beano, I didn't like his voice, but the more I listened, the more I actually like it.

Listen and play. Listen and play. Listen and play.
