I remember mom and you debating about this...I forgot until you wrote it here. I always thought it was an excellent piece of art even though I would not hang it on my wall, I can appreciate the artistry in it and use of colours, if mom didn’t like something, she would say it wasn’t this or wasn’t good, I never heard of son seals but it was really good to listen to this song.

And I'm not familiar with Savatage. Thanks for the tip, I'll be checking them out! Love the artwork on that Savoy Brown album cover... gotta' love any Savoy Brown reference, one of the great "lost" bands. I think Kim Simmonds is still touring. I caught them at a blues club one night in Toronto nearly 20 years ago.Birgit's brother!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02178558291532747729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-18902425220245766632021-11-24T21:43:12.799-05:002021-11-24T21:43:12.799-05:00Hi sis! It's an honour to have my selections f...Hi sis! It's an honour to have my selections featured here, thank you! There's so much great music out there, how can one narrow any category down to a mere three songs?<br /><br />As for Hendrix, you know he was one of my first musical loves, and it was organic because I discovered his music on my own once I was old enough to explore and appreciate beyond what we were hearing on the radio at the time. All his big hits are timeless but anyone who knows me knows that I always like to dig a bit deeper, hence my choice of "Still Raining, Still Dreaming." I love everything about this song. The "talking guitar" intro, the interplay between Jimi's guitar and the keyboards... almost a call-and-response routine. The driving beat, the build-ups and the drops, it still gives me chills. Bit of trivia, many people think Steve Winwood is on keyboards here but it's actually a guy named Mike Finnigan who happened to be in the New York studio with his band (I think they were from Kansas) when Jimi came in to record. Jimi liked what he heard while watching Finnigan and his band and invited Finnigan to jam... with amazing results.<br /><br />The King Crimson song... I remember hearing it for the first time on the radio and being blown away. Only problem was the DJ never identified who it was. I literally sang parts of the song and recited a few lyrics to any friend who would listen hoping they would recognize it and tell me who it was... but none of my friends were sophisticated enough to go beyond The Knack or The Cars at the time. I finally heard the song on the radio again after about two years and immediately bought the album, the second album I ever bought with my own money. Oh, and I remember the conversation with mom about the album cover. I called it art and she insisted it was too vulgar to be referred to as art. Let's just say we agreed to disagree.<br /><br />As for Son Seals, that was the first hard-core blues album I ever bought. I ended up seeing him live on five separate occasions and he was awesome every single time. His first album has a raw authenticity to it, something rare to find in an electric blues album. It grabbed me hard and has never really let go... definitely a significant stepping stone in my lifelong musical expedition.Birgit's brother!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02178558291532747729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-3661724262651835132021-11-24T18:36:34.023-05:002021-11-24T18:36:34.023-05:00So, does that mean that Wallace has good taste? ;)...So, does that mean that Wallace has good taste? ;)Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-39879255231807417602021-11-24T14:20:25.122-05:002021-11-24T14:20:25.122-05:00Wallace is a real cutie Birgit.

I can tell by reading your brother...Hi, Birgit!<br /><br />I can tell by reading your brother's comments here at BB Creations that he is not only cool but knowledgeable. Clearly he knows a lot about rock history. It doesn't surprise me that he amassed a large collection of vinyl records, as did I. My eclectic taste allows me to love your ABBA as much as I love his Hendrix. (I am also absolutely thrilled that you liked the "pretty in punk" girl group I introduced at Shady's - The Regrettes.) Thanks for sharing memories of riding in the car with your brother to "Mean Girl High." I can imagine the Jarring Juxtaposition as you tried to play ABBA in your mind whilst your brother played "Hey Joe" and other rock anthems in the car.<br /><br />I remember Greg Lake's Kind Crimson and enjoyed listening to "The Court of the Crimson King." You might want to change the title of that segment because you wrote "Hall," possibly thinking of "Hall Of The Mountain King" by one of my favorite bands, Savatage - local guys from down here in Central Florida that I got to know when I worked at that MTV station. Savatage band members used to hang around our studio. I'm not worthy! As a lover of prog rock, I'll bet your brother remembers Savatage.<br /><br />I used to show my mother the cover of my Savoy Brown's "Looking In" album just to see the look of horror and revulsion on her face. :)<br /><br />https://www.pattayamail.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/1315-c-Mott-Dog-1.jpg<br /><br />I also enjoyed the number by Son Seals Blues Band. When it comes to great music, it's plain to see that your brother is the real deal, tuned in to the good stuff. <br /><br />As for Wallace the dog, I have had the same thing happen. I am a dog lover and most canines sense that and gravitate to me. However, every once in a while, I encounter a dog owned by someone in the family that shies away from me and won't let me pet it. One such animal kept up this "social distancing" for years until it finally came around and bonded with me. That was a big win.<br /><br />I hope your brother reads this great post dedicated to him and contributes memories and songs of his own to the discussion. <br /><br />Have a wonderful Wednesday, dear friend BB!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07887100141814372022noreply@blogger.com
