@Jani Loved Bodhisattva from the moment I first heard it and they played it at the University of Toledo in 1972? Rikki is also a favorite. Believe or not my favorite that always takes my back in time and is even more relevant today..

Jani is correct, he is an under rated guitar player, had this one on a 8 track so long ago,  it's an open highway tune......

 

 

Thanks sis....

I've seen Robin 3 times - all in the 1970's loved James Dewar on vocals - we did several of his songs - Day of the Eagles was my favorite to play.

 

I saw him at the Toledo Agora where he opened for Rory Gallagher - what an amzing show that was....

James had a phenomonal voice and always played a great bass behind Robin.   Day of the Eagle is so cool!  

 

Trower and Gallagher must have been one big guitar fest!

Love her voice, a song that just makes me cry, and brings such deep joy, a lovely vibe this morning....

The first thing in my mind as the emotions flow over me and I move forward and out of joy for @Kylie and @Katharina and their successful surgeries and their recoveries - I am filled with tears of joy. So I decided to google the song title Tears of Joy and this came up and I never heard it before - but having had Joe Cocker and Paul Rodgers and Greg Allman has my first Gospel-ish vocal mentors it was a joy to find a Gospel song - I'm crying tears of joy and you here at TransPulse Forum have made it happen....Thank You

Continuing with the Joy theme, can't forget this...

 

The tears become a "sea of joy"

A super group that was here and then gone.  Steve Winwood's vocals are so unique and who would have thought there would be a violin in one of their songs?  Thanks Cyndee.

I love the violin in that song, it gives it such character Jani.....

 

and yes they came and went so fast, leaving such a wonderful legacy, a point in time, a place holder in music history. That album still sounds great today, it happens to be in my CD changer.... as I've been revisiting it in the past few weeks.

Not to be snobbish but there was such an explosion of music from all corners back in that era.  The mixing of genre's, tempo's, timing changes, instruments, and lyrics was unheard of.  I think today's music owes so much to the 60's and early 70's artists.

I think back in the 60s and 70s there was more raw talent than there is now.

No auto tune software for voice tracks for example.

Not to mention these bands did shows night after night not just a few gigs here and there.

I still want to work like that.  Because no venues, you can't do it in one convenient home place.  So you find yourself solo because noone wants that pace.  Solo=noone has your back=vulnerable, scared, sad.

 

Of course covid now wants us to think everything's over, and that there is no reality outside of the devices they sell us.

 

Anyone out there want to break this box open?

I need to get into NJ or NY I think

The covid thing is really sad for artists plain and simple, for example we currently have a state wide live music ban here in WA state. No gigs, no festivals, no fun. We still hold concert tickets for a band that can't play here, it's been rescheduled for next year.

 

It's not going to last forever, just have to be resourceful in the interim. I love to travel, I look forward to getting back on the road when this mess subsides....

There is a venue here in Londonderry that's doing concerts in their parking lot.  You have to stay in your car though.  Its tough, I miss going to concerts.

 

Listened to so Charlie Farren today.  He was lead singer in Joe Perry's "Joe Perry Project" and in a number of other bands, most notable Farren/Heit.  He's a cool personality! 

 

This is an acoustic tune for his friend Brad Delp of "Boston" who lived about 15 minutes from me.

So sad about Barry Delp. Tom Sholz is from the rich suburb of Toledo called Ottawa Hills. I lived in Toledo , not Ottawa Hills but it was cool to have him from near by. They were good in concert. Saw them right after the first album broke BIG. Another Robin Trower concert at the Toledo Sports Arena with Boston opening.

Isn't it amazing how acts will go from Opening to Headliner and back again?  Sometimes there are odd combinations too, like Hendrix opening for the Monkees.

In keeping with the Boston theme, when I heard this in '76 it was some of the best orchestrated rock music I'd ever heard, just love this medley and arrangement. I bought a "Half Speed Mastered" vinyl copy CBS made, and still have it, it was a great test for dynamic range in a modern stereo of the day, sure sounds great in digital now....love it...

I love that intro!  Sort of ELP like?   

 

So do you have to play the Half Speed Master at half speed or is that just the speed the master was cut at?  I can imagine the master had much better clarity.

Thanks for your question Jani, CBS records made a limited number of Boston's first album cut with half speed mastering, released in 1980, and sold them to collectors back then at a premium (~ $ 20). They were cut at half speed, just as google explains below. Last I checked on E bay they were fetching about a hundred dollars today. They were sought after for their superior dynamic range on a vinyl medium.......

 

What exactly is half-speed mastering? It's a vinyl cutting process whereby the disc-cutting lathe for an LP is run at half the speed – so for an album that would be 16 and two thirds, which is half of 33 and a third – and the master source is run at half the speed as well.

      @Sally Stone, I have enjoyed reading this thread immensely. There certainly are some things in it that I can relate to, particularly when you wrote that "I wasn’t a man trapped in a woman’s body." This simple statement confirmed two things for me; I am not an imposter here, and I could end up much further along the path than what I imagine now.   I very much look forward to your future posts here.   I hope that by posing this question I'm not committing you to spoil future posts, but can I ask, why you have settled on Bigender as a label? I keep changing my label and have no idea what it might be tomorrow or next week or next month!

      This whole Cass Review thing is breaking my heart. I keep imagining how it must be to be a trans kid in the UK atm. I am halfway through reading the review so that I can effectively refute it if and when people cite it here in Australia.

      One thing I took on board from a former boss who was an absolute gentleman and fluent conversationalist but a hopeless leader because he was the classic yes man to his superiors, was to take the emotion out of the equation when arguing. Don't use hyperbole. Don't exaggerate. Stick to what you know and defeat your adversary with logic. Of course, your adversary will double down and make an even bigger fool of themselves, and not even realize that they have lost the argument, nor will they realize that people are laughing at them and not with them. It also helps if you can separate them from their minions.   A conservative elderly uncle, who left school at the age of 12, swears black and blue that taking Ivermectin (sheep dip) prevents Covid because he knew someone who knew someone else who took it and despite that person being momentarily in close contact with people who had Covid, didn't come down with it. "Well, you're the one with the science degree!" I said.   A lot of people argue out of ignorance. They base their points on populism and rumor. I rarely argue, but when I do, it is in an attempt to push back. Another favorite saying that I use is "Rumors are started by haters, spread by fools and believed by idiots." I then ask, "Which two are you?" 😉

      Good morning, all!!! Cloudy today with some light rain coming. Not a day to work outside.   I will vacuum the house and the head out to our local hardware store after I get cleaned up. Time to buy a new bird feeder for the back porch.   I'm sorry the job didn't work @KymmieL! Hang in there.   It sounds like a busy time for you at work @Willow. Finding reliable people is so hard these days.   Time for another cup of coffee before I start cleaning!!   Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given.

      Nostalgia is an emotion. It is the feeling of enjoying events from the past. People with nostalgia will often look at or use old things that they were familiar with years ago. This is because people feel more connected to those past times that they enjoyed, usually because it reminds them of how long it has been since they last connected to such past times. Examples where people may have the feeling of nostalgia includes watching old TV shows, using old technology that was very enjoyable, and playing with toys that you played with as a child. These memories are usually misleading, and can make someone wish that they could be young again, even if their childhood was mediocre. Human brains often leave out boring or bad memories, which can cause incorrect feelings about their childhood.

      CAT FACTS A cat's jaw cannot move sideways. The only domestic animal not mentioned in the Bible is the cat   A house cat’s genome is 95.6 percent tiger, and they share many behaviors with their jungle ancestors, says Layla Morgan Wilde, a cat behavior expert and the founder of Cat Wisdom 101. These behaviors include scent marking by scratching, prey play, prey stalking, pouncing, chinning, and urine marking. Cats are believed to be the only mammals who don’t taste sweetness. Cats are nearsighted, but their peripheral vision and night vision are much better than that of humans. Cats are supposed to have 18 toes (five toes on each front paw; four toes on each back paw). Cats can jump up to six times their length. Cats’ claws all curve downward, which means that they can’t climb down trees head-first. Instead, they have to back down the trunk. Cats’ collarbones don’t connect to their other bones, as these bones are buried in their shoulder muscles. Cats have 230 bones, while humans only have 206. Cats have an extra organ that allows them to taste scents on the air, which is why your cat stares at you with her mouth open from time to time. Cats have whiskers on the backs of their front legs, as well. Cats have nearly twice the amount of neurons in their cerebral cortex as dogs. Cats have the largest eyes relative to their head size of any mammal. Cats make very little noise when they walk around. The thick, soft pads on their paws allow them to sneak up on their prey — or you! Cats’ rough tongues can lick a bone clean of any shred of meat. Cats use their long tails to balance themselves when they’re jumping or walking along narrow ledges. Cats use their whiskers to “feel” the world around them in an effort to determine which small spaces they can fit into. A cat’s whiskers are generally about the same width as its body. (This is why you should never, EVER cut their whiskers.) Cats walk like camels and giraffes: They move both of their right feet first, then move both of their left feet. No other animals walk this way. Male cats are more likely to be left-pawed, while female cats are more likely to be right-pawed. Though cats can notice the fast movements of their prey, it often seems to them that slow-moving objects are actually stagnant. Some cats are ambidextrous, but 40 percent are either left- or right-pawed. Some cats can swim. There are cats who have more than 18 toes. These extra-digit felines are referred to as being “polydactyl.”
