Happy Birthday, David Gilmour...and Thanks Very Much for all that you've played into our minds and emotions.... Visit https://artteeprints.com/# for you diehards.... The shirt fabric has a velvety texture on my cat silhouette bending the light beam. Stranger: "Floyd?" But of course... ;) *Grins* |
Once upon a time in '69... this song settled into my subconscious.... "...where do we go from here....?" Tides of the times, against the currents, following the ley lines.... Good times Did lots of a lot... ;) |
@tomic601 ,,,the 'buy lots cheep' > listen > give to the Salve Army next wk.' struck me more like 'audio bees' passing on Odd Pollen'...*L* |
@slaw ....I stand corrected by the Wikipedia.... ‘Dear Jill’ (a favourite of mine to this day) was the next track we laid down and the nice thing about it was that by double-tracking the guitar, which was an Eko 12-string with only 9-10 strings on it (depending on my mood or how many strings I could afford on the day) it sounded akin to a modern chorus effect pedal which, coupled with Jack’s haunting soprano sax, made it into a solid stand up song. It was featured in Cameron Crowe’s movie Almost Famous as part of the background music to reflect the theme and time of the film. I blame myself....and soprano sax isn’t an instrument I’ve had the pleasure to hear ’stood out’ like that often. I’ll go eat some worms.... ;( *L* Done on an 8 track machine of the time.... but even before the remaster Dear Jill is a tasty number....*S* |
@slaw Well, it don't sound like a sax offhand to my ears. Lacking the liner notes, and too lazy to go drilling the 'net to find The Truth, I'll call clarinet and move on. *L* Either way, a great song to stare into one's drink and think back to ones' lost loves. I've registered four or so....one, still a GF, one passed away, one got 'diverted' due to a rapist, and one 'moved on' to due to me being considered 'jive' at the time... No accounting for taste on that last one...'sorry, sweetheart'.....we can't all be brilliant nor perfect... You weren't, either....*wry S* |
@slaw Agreed, a clean remaster of an old 'fave. *g* Short of a solo, it's so deliciously 'spare'.....a bass, a slid guitar, a 'tick' percussion, a sad clarinet, and a voice full of 'da blues'..... One of my 'test tracks', If the equipment under test can't make your neck hair rise, don't buy it. ;) Happy to share it...*S* Have a great weekend, J |
