I just got done doing this Sunday's music entry.. I knew what I wanted it to be, I follow a site via RSS and there are several in this one folder (RSS feeds) and they had a few videos of John Denver and I watched them and was just dumbstruck.. How great an artist he was, what and enormous loss for not just the music world but the world in general... So as I knew what I wanted, I also knew it could be a huge entry, he had a gigantic number of great songs.. The final song was the first video from the RSS site from the other day and it is the strongest song, really an amazing song.. Grabbed me and made me listen to it.. At just over two minutes it made me think of how great the song is, made me feel the I did in such a short amount of time and made me think of the songs that some people listen to now that have to take nearly fifteen minutes to get their point across and I think what a waste of time.. I know I like Pink Floyd master works like Echoes which takes the entire of one side of a record (L.P. for the people old enough to remember what a record really was and it's limitations).. All I know is I like a quick short song that hits and moves on and Eagle and The Hawk did just that.. I couldn't find the exact video that the site I first saw the video, but set two videos instead, one live and one put together.. Both are worth a watch I think..
The first couple videos are tribute to type of things with Peter Banks passing away as well as Clive Burr.. From two groups that were influencial to my taste in a manner of speaking.. Yes or the early Yes which truth be told I was never a huge fan of their music but did like to listen on occasion although he was a member in the early formative years.. The same could be said about Clive Burr, drummer for Iron Maiden during their formative years playing on the first three records then departing due to schedule conflicts.. I don't like to turn the Sunday video day into a tribute to dead artists of the week, but the past two weeks seemed like a fair idea since I have heard of or have recordings by these two, and last weeks TYA Alvin Lee... Who dies next week.. Lawrence Welk, TOO LATE..
