Some Words from the Bird

 Listen  here! Greetings, Readers! I am beyond excited for this album. I recall doing a quick scan of the list at the beginning of my musical odyssey and seeing Love. I had never heard of Love. I wanted to listen to the album right then and there. But I have waited. And since I am proceeding extremely slowly on this adventure, it has taken years to get to this point. Album 54. "Forever Changes".   I did some quick reading about this one, there are all kinds of tantalizing tidbits associated. There is talk of heroin, spooky castles, flower power and darkness. I'm in! I started listening as I began typing this little introduction, and had to turn the music off, because I was getting distracted trying to put my thoughts into words. I'm going to give this one a good listen, and then I'll come back to you. Wait a second, you waited two years for the last post and you can't give me an hour so I can come up with something to say about this album? Pushy! Settle down, ...

  Listen  here ! Hello again! I love it when I look up the next record on my list and it is by a band that I enjoy, but the album is one I have never heard of. Such is the case for the Who's second studio album "A Quick One".  A quick glance at the track listing reveals that I am only familiar with one of the offerings. I will expand on that shortly.   The album starts off with a song, "Run Run Run", that has the classic Who sound to it. I really like the way the bass and drums are so prominent. The rhythm guitar is right in step and any lead lines seem like window dressing to pretty the tune up, as opposed to being the showcase. The music sounds so … solid.    The next track is "Boris The Spider". This is the song I knew previous to listening to this record. In fact, my daughter and I would put on an animation video from YouTube based on this song when she was just a toddler. We watched that video around fifty times at the least. Funnily enough...
