Today's David Gilmour's 75th birthday so I've been listening to him and Pink Floyd a lot. This is one of my favorites 😍

The strange ways songs sprout from the mulch ... best version (the crispest) I have found of this one:

Nostalgia getting older - again, the crispest version of the song I was able to find, a remaster:

Shredding's for the birds, Mr. O.

Oh s**t.
I have the studio version of this artist's take on a song first brought to prominence by Jimi (an old blues song).
Besides more that one version of his, I also have several other versions by very brave, or occasionally foolish, guitarists. Ritchie Blackmore certainly pulled his version off, a did the following guy, a genius guitarist who never came really close to stardom and succumbed to one of the too many self-inflictions of musicians, at the age of not quite 49 in 1988.
I was going to post only the studio version (from his third solo album), but wandered away from my PC due to "ceramic" reasons after having (re-) heard that version on YouTube. When I returned a live version was playing ...

I apologize (sort of) in advance to all who are not partial to electric guitars erupting volcanically.
But I just could not resist this, or these, post(s), to make a point (I think) directed at our estimated sage (he's certainly older than I am) "Squinty":

Dude, THIS is shredding!

I see I've been slacking off on my Moomoo duties, so here's a recent clip, 15 straight minutes killing a live medley of songs from their 2014 debut through today, on Dingo's appropriately named "Killing Voice":

No surprise, given that their concerts average 4 hours.

And who else could look and sound so good, while wearing dorky Pokemon costumes, and singing about Pikachu? 😂

Got a couple of my favorite Pink Floyd albums on vinyl 😁

I'll wait for shellac. 😁

Or maybe wax cylinder. . .🤔

Listening to another favorite band, ELO, today

Listening to another favorite band, ELO, today

Oh yes! With a song written by the true King of Rock 'n' Roll, Chuck Berry (Elvis was a good Steward). 🎸
And also one of those songs that, if a party seemed to be sluggish, got slapped on the turntable to raise the heat. 🎸🎸
Chuck Berry and Little Richard figured big, even huge as authors (or original performers) of those "motivating" songs. 🎸🎸🎸
Though most of the time in cover versions; but which later giants of Rock didn't do covers versions? 🎸🎸🎸🎸

I seem to recall some other guys doing it. Who was that now? 🤔

Oh yes:

But then:

Oh yes:

No kiddin? But that senseless background shrieking squeal is what drove them away from touring ...
Thank goodness!!!!!!!!!!!

And that was a small venue. At Shea Stadium, they couldn't even hear themselves.
