Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2013

With 2013 upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread.  I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.

I did Richard and have been a fan ever since. It also resulted in my obsession of collecting the complete Blue Horizon LP catalogue. Great album. I like the mono version of the LP best.

Well, some seem be enjoying a Free evening.  Ohhhhhhhh I Wept .

 

One of my fondest concert memories was this album performed live.  Unlike most rock groups of the era Free's concert was notable for being performed at relatively modest volume. Actually made it more enjoyable and you could tell the band really could play.

Some great local talent that is starting to spread out to the rest of the world.  Good ole Rock 'n Roll.  The CD is great but the band live is better still.

The experience of listening to this music is not unlike swimming upstream. 

Alkan wrote some of the greatest piano music
