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?

I saw a PBS Special in December 2012 that had two bands that I just couldn't believe...it seemed like they popped out from 40-45 years back!

Here is Cathy Richardson (truly amazing!) singing Jefferson Airplane's Somebody to Love:

Jimi Burning Bob Cornelius   Honeymoon Headpins

 

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.

Click for their odessey...

Well...who are these characters?
