Will I "get" Bowie after all these years?

Can I indulge in a minor controversy? Probably not the greatest technician or innovator but incredible character and freedom. Ooof!

Hardly a MINOR controversy...!

Invented Irish rock music more or less single-handedly.

The fusion of great blues and r'n'b with distinctive traditional Irish music is very innovative.

As for technical competance, he is one of the finest blues guitarists ever - viz those from the pantheon of blues who specifically wanted to play with him, eg Howling Wolf, Muddy Waters etc. And the scope of his musicianship, electric guitar, acoustic 6 and 12-string, mandolin and saxophone.

No, not a MINOR controversy at all!

There should be more, especially those that like their Porcupine Tree. The Ghost Reveries album I just played was most enjoyable.

My Bowie collection does not get much airplay these days so I may try a few this weekend.

I find "Reverie/Harlequin Forest" to be one of the most stunning Opeth tune.

Johann Sebastian Bach: Cantatas. Karl Richter, Münchener Bach-Orchester, Münchener Bach-Chor

Spending a good deal of last week and this week coming listening to this set of 13 Cantatas and then comparing mainly with the Masaaki Suzuki sets I recently started collecting as well as others that I have (Gardiner, Herreweghe...). Very inspiring! I am also listening to myself learn (actually relearn) a Liszt transcription of "Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen" on the piano which has sadly sat on the shelf now for a number of years. It's like meeting up with an old friend...

Probably damaged your ears with that so called music you listen to?
