MUSIC
YES, the cliche that music
and fads and styles change all the time
is really seen here--laugh--but remember
what is in now is not
necessarily in tomorrow, as long as we're mortals...
NOMENCLATURE: what does "honky tonk" and "hulabaloo"
mean but a "clambake" sounds like fun?

Here are some of my favourite musicians, music and
guitar gear. Recognize them? They're Jimi
Hendrix, Burning Spear and Bob Marley.
and of course....
Not
everybody likes my kind of music and I didn't always appreciate Reggae until a trip to the Carib. My brother Douglas is a classical
pianist with a Master's in Music and plays Rachmaninoff and Bach on a Steinway
piano which is, at least to me, quite different in many ways to the artists'
sounds above and the electric guitar.
Amor Girling (see section on History), a veteren who
served as Special Forces in WWII (The Guns of Navrone) noted to me one day that he couldn't understand
how such a people could torture their own after witnessing the torture
chambers near London Bridge. Later, Amor joked that "there is no crueler
and instrument of pain by mankind than the electric guitar and the
briefcase!"
Recognize some of these others?
Cousins Bill and Sue-On Hillman have rocked and country'd for years.
