kaybli--check out this song off of the David Live album with Earl Slick doing the guitar solo. It just soars and is one of my favorite guitar solos. Age alert: I saw Bowie during the tour this album was made from. |

Love it or hate it, “Year of the Cat” has a 💩 load of intriguing lyrics. I especially enjoy the “Peter Lorre” Line and reference. On a morning from a Bogart movie In a country where they turn back time You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre Contemplating a crime She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running Like a watercolor in the rain Don't bother asking for explanations She'll just tell you that she came In the year of the cat She doesn't give you time for questions As she locks up your arm in hers And you follow 'till your sense of which direction Completely disappears By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls There's a hidden door she leads you to These days, she says, I feel my life Just like a river running through The year of the cat While she looks at you so cooly And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea She comes in incense and patchouli So you take her, to find what's waiting inside The year of the cat Well morning comes and you're still with her And the bus and the tourists are gone And you've thrown away your choice you've lost your ticket So you have to stay on But the drum-beat strains of the night remain In the rhythm of the newborn day You know sometime you're bound to leave her But for now you're going to stay In the year of the cat Love that song, inger. Love the way the acoustic guitar solo segues into a sax solo and then segues to an electric guitar. Very different chord structure than most pop songs which gives it that haunting quality. |

Earl Slick is a great guitar player. After a long break, he toured with Bowie the last 10 years or so of Bowie's career. You might also check out the live version of Under Pressure with Gail Ann Dorsey (his bass player). She crushes the Freddie Mercury part. Earl was in that band, at least at times. Love me some Gail Ann Dorsey! |

The TikTok generation was impressed with Dreams: I'm glad this was discovered by a lot of people! One of my favorite songs! Damned sexy voice oozing out of Stevie Nicks, too... |

Love the way the acoustic guitar solo segues into a sax solo and then segues to an electric guitar. Very different chord structure than most pop songs which gives it that haunting quality. For me, this song is odd in that I can go a long time without listening to it, but when I do I get pulled into the lyrics and the story and just enjoy the stuff out of it. I think it was and still is overplayed enough to get me sort of over it. But those lyrics are very clever and captivating... So I would probably only choose to listen to it when I know I’m not going to be disturbed in the middle of it. If we were ever to meet someplace I believe we’d have a great time listening to each other’s favorites. Our tastes are often similar, and we could probably tolerate the variances... |

Agreed, inger. Maybe we'd just listen to A Nod's as Good as a Wink to a Blind Horse over and over again.

Agreed, inger. Maybe we'd just listen to A Nod's as Good as a Wink to a Blind Horse over and over again. We might at that. But then again music, like life is a giant puzzle and sometimes one piece fits with another. Is it even possible to listen to Miss Judy’s Farm without getting an urge to hear Cut Across Shorty in short order? Now a country boy named Shorty And a city boy named Dan Had to prove who could run the fastest To wed Miss Lucy's hand And once we’ve heard that if becomes only common sense that you HAVE to sing along with You’re So Rude, Debris, and An Old Raincoat Will Never Let You Down. If we’re in a particularly disjointed mood the reference to a rain coat might lead us to the slow version of Rob Thomas’ 3:AM, before back tracking to Love Lives Here and Memphis... |

We'd then have to call for Last Orders Please.

Guy is very dexterous and fast. Throwing in harmonics at will, it seems. I hate guys with long thin fingers. |

Before Jimmy Page asked Robert Plant to be the lead singer for his group that would become Led Zeppelin, he first asked a singer-songwriter named Terry Reid. However, Reid had committed to gigs touring with The Rolling Stones and Cream. Instead, Reid recommended another singer (Robert Plant).

Then, Plant put down roots... <he really said that?> <no end to the genius of his humor, is there?> |
