Salutations™!!

Tomorrow is the 33rd anniversary of the KISS album, Asylum. So, for today I chose a cover of the album’s biggest hit, “Tears Are Falling.” This is done by a YouTuber named MrSonorbakken and I don’t have a clue what that means. I looked at other cover versions of this song to play here but this is by far the best. The only thing I have a problem with is that the song drags a bit. I know the original wasn’t any thrash song but this seems a bit slow. His voice and instrumentation are great. I could use a little more emotion, though. Anyway, it’s a pretty good cover. Enjoy!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Salutations™!!

This past week marked the 36th Anniversary of Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel. If you’re wondering which PG it was, it was what we later know as Security although it was never actually called that. But, being as the first four albums were all called Peter Gabriel we had to distinguish them somehow. Anywhat! Here’s a cover of this album’s most popular tune by the band Underfloor. I think it’s a pretty darn good version, especially since they’re a 3-piece. I hope you enjoy!

You knew it was coming, right? We’re in Boston so the Sounds Like Saturday for this week had to be a Boston tune. Also, the cover is the work of one of my favorite YouTubers, Mike Massé (with Jenny Oaks Baker on violin). Enjoy! Oh! And happy would-be 85th birthday to my father-in-law, David Hess. I wish I had known you.

“So many people have come and gone. Their faces fade as the years go by. Yet, I still recall as I wander on. As clear as the sun in the summer sky. It’s more than a feeling when I hear that old song they used to play. And, I begin dreaming ’til I see Marianne walk away.” – “More Than a Feeling” (Sholtz)

As you can tell, it’s late and I just remembered I hadn’t written anything today. That usually means that you’re getting a video and that’s what you’re getting tonight. I’m about to watch the documentary about John Coltrane called Chasing Trane and I figured I’d share with you some of his stuff. Well, there’s not a lot of (good quality) live videos with him that are under 20 minutes long. I did find this pretty awesome version of Trane with Miles Davis doing “So What” back in 1959. So, enjoy this.

Those of you on my email list will notice this comes a little late. Sorry about that. But, here it is, anyway.

I love finding unusual things to show you guys and this is a great juxtaposition (or the opposite) between classical music and classic hip-hop. Here we have a classical pianist doing some Dr. Dre. Enjoy!

Today would have been Richard Wright’s 75th birthday if he were still here, so here’s a pretty darned good tribute to one of his best-known compositions, “The Great Gig in the Sky.” It’s presented by Carlos Assad from Brazil and a few of his pals. Enjoy!

RIP Richard Wright!

I know this went around on Facebook and a couple of other places over the course of the week but I found it fascinating. If you didn’t see it, this is for you. If you did see it, it’s worth a second, third or seventh look. You’re welcome.

Because I was busy doing other things today, I didn’t really get to do a proper blog post today. So, since it’s right before Saturday, let’s give you a bonus video. Everyone knows my favorite instrument (to watch and hear) is the drums. This young lady is amazing and I follow a lot of what she does. So, how about some heavy stuff for her to show off her chops. Ladies and gents, Sina doing a little Metallica.
