Which Doc, at least, liked Part 1 last week.

Hey, thanks, Corky. I'm just about over my "He never heard of, say what?" take. And there was some fun waiting for Mary Clayton to rip the roof off the joint in "Gimme Shelter."

Interesting piece on John Fogerty in "The Guardian" (www.theguardian.com). At one point he evidently had a deal that required him to churn out 180 songs over 5 years for a pittance.

Since Erin is rapidly becoming a Category V maelstrom, here is the orchestral version of a famous Scorpions song: www.youtube.com

This may not soothe the savage beast in all of us, but as the Immortal Bard once wrote: "He who hath no music in him, is fit for stratagems, treasons, and spoils."

It's interesting what one musician can do with even simple, at home tech today:

@#8 ... with even simple, at home tech today ...

Yeah, ~at home tech~ has been good for a while, though lately it has become excellent.

The big thing it fights, though, is background noises (similar to the NYC recording studios having to fight the low-frequency subway rumbling that seemed to make it into their studios).

But I digress ... :)

Another ~recorded in a home studio~ song ...

Boston - More Than a Feeling (1976)

A Revealing interview with Tom Scholz, guitarist and mastermind behind BOSTON's classic-rock brilliance.
www.gonnahitcharide.com

... MG: What kind of 12-string acoustic did you use on "More Than a Feeling"?

SCHOLZ: That was a $100 Yamaha. When the band was first signed, the so-called "band" went to L.A., booked studio time, and went into the studio every week. They stayed out there as a cover, pretending to record the album, while I recorded the album back home in Massachusetts in my basement studio. ...

Moody Blues - Question (1970) live vocals, small venue in Paris

www.youtube.com

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door?
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war

It's when we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need
In a world of persecution
That is burning in its greed

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door?
Because the truth is hard to swallow
That's what the war of love is for

It's not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me
It's more the way that you mean it
When you tell me what will be

And when you stop and think about it
You won't believe it's true
That all the love you've been giving
Has all been meant for you

I'm looking for someone to change my life
I'm looking for a miracle in my life
And if you could see what it's done to me
To lose the the love I knew
Could safely lead me through

Between the silence of the mountains
And the crashing of the sea
There lies a land I once lived in
And she's waiting there for me.

But in the grey of the morning
My mind becomes confused
Between the dead and the sleeping
And the road that I must choose

I'm looking for someone to change my life
I'm looking for a miracle in my life
And if you could see what it's done to me
To lose the the love I knew
Could safely lead me to
The land that I once knew
To learn as we grow old
The secrets of our souls

It's not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me
It's more the way you really mean it
When you tell me what will be

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door?
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war

It's when we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need
In a world of persecution
That is burning in its greed

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door?

"In The Beginning"- "Lovely To See You"- "Dear Diary"- W/Lryics-The Moody Blues

first 3 cuts of the album Threshold of a Dream

"I think. I think I am. Therefore I am... I think."

@#13 ... "I think. I think I am. Therefore I am... I think." ...

Yeah, they don't write lyrics like that anymore.

But you're wandering into Moody Blues territory, one of my favorite groups.

The album you cite may be an all-time favorite album for me.

But I'd proffer, it is not just the first 3 cuts of that album that are great, but the last few cuts of side 2. What has often called, ~The Dream Sequence~ back in the day.

Starting with "Are You Sitting Comfortably" and going on for 12 or so minutes beyond that.

I found this ...

I've entered an 80's playlist this evening, so nothing too mellow ...

But the last song from the 70's playlist I was listening to was...

Barclay James Harvest - Child Of The Universe (1974)
www.youtube.com

Kind of mellow, but with a message.

Lyrics excerpt ...

genius.com

...
I'm a child of South Africa
I'm a child of Vietnam
I'm a child of Northern Ireland
I'm a small boy with blood on his hands

Yes I'm a child of the universe
Yes I'm a child of the universe
You can see me on the TV every night
Always there to join in someone else's fight

I didn't ask to be born, and I don't ask to die
I'm an endless scream, a gene machine
That cannot reason why

Yes I'm a child of the universe
Yes I'm a child of the universe
You can see me on the TV every day
I'm the child next door three thousand miles away
...

Quite the tune back in the day ...

Steve Winwood - 'The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys' (Traffic song) [HD] | North Sea Jazz 2013

Lyrics

If you see something that looks like a star
And it's shooting up out of the ground
And your head is spinning from a loud guitar
And you just can't escape from the sound
Don't worry too much, it'll happen to you
We were children once, playing with toys

[Pre-Chorus]
And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound of
The low spark of high-heeled boys

[Chorus]
The percentage you're paying is too high priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

But today you just read that the man was shot dead
By a gun that didn't make any noise
But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest
Was the low spark of high-heeled boys

If you had just a minute to breathe
And they granted you one final wish
Would you ask for something like another chance?
Or something similar as this?
Don't worry too much it'll happen to you
As sure as your sorrows are joys

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound of
The low spark of high-heeled boys

[Chorus]
The percentage you're paying is too high priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams
But today you just read that the man was shot dead
By a gun that didn't make any noise
But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest
Was the low spark of high-heeled boys
(High-heeled boys)

Songwriters: Steve Winwood / Jim Capaldi
