I’ve always looked at the Harbor Lights album different from all his other albums. It’s a very chill feel to it and very like late nightish….It’s a great album, but it never displayed Bruce’s energy and talent to me…The rest of the albums are better in my opinion….

Whoops, too late. Sorry Si! I’ll get you for the next Hornsby solo record!

HAHAH It’s funny you should say that…I’m a piano player and when I play piano wearing my glasses from the side I look just like Bruce when I had my longer hair….Although, for some strange reason, I couldn’t play as well as him HA.

When Si spoke about the people such as the Bee Gees getting covered like crazy it spawned in my head Phil Collins. Here’s a guy who, in my book, is the greatest musician in the world (sorry Bruuuce fans, but, Phil is the man)….This guy has got it and does it all….Drums, sings, guitar, keys, horns, bass….And he excels at every single of them….An album he made called Both Sides is his finest work in my opinion. Why? Because he played every single instrument on there, did all the arranging, all the artwork, all the singing, all the legal work, etc….The songs are brilliant and the fact that you feel like you are inside Phil when you listen to the songs from that album just make it that much better.

When I heard that Bone Thugz N Harmony were taking Phil’s Take Me Home song and creating a rap version of it, I damn near wanted to start a protest outside the “bonez” studios….People banking huge from covering other artists who actually used the definition of what art is to create their own song, shouldn’t be allowed any sort of fame whatsoever…

Here’s some no talents out there that deserve nothing in the music biz:
Justin Timberlake
Christina Aguilera
Backstreet Boys
N Sync
Britney Spears

I think you get my drift….

People that could run circles around those 5 “musicians”:
Well, too many to name….

Most of the bands today just plain suck. It’s all four chord pop music that attracts anyone that wants to feel sorry for themselves or to get over a breakup. Listen guys, if you want to make am illion, write a song about a loved one you lost or an ex girlfriend, write only 4 chords over it, write an extremely simple melody, and then we’ll have a hit.

The point I’m trying to make is, the musicians today take what they do for granted in a sense that those back in the 70’s and 80’s played and tried their asses off to get where they got (Genesis, Yes, Kansas, Bruuce even, etc.)

When The Police opened the grammy’s i was so pumped (I even bought tickets to a show in the summer for their reunion tour)…They showed musicianship, what true music is, and then Jaimie Foxx walked out and started speaking like he was talking to a bunch of hoodlum teenagers and it suddenly got a bit darker in the room of the grammy’s….

It’s absolutely shameful the respect that real musicians get these days and it’s a shame of what the music industry has become.

OK, enough venting for now. I’m not sure if I stayed on the topic of this thread but I felt I had to get this out somewhere and somehow.

Peace.

I bought this recorder the week it came out. It is PHENOMENAL….The microphones work beautifully and the four track recorder is amazing…You can record four tracks, and then when you have them perfect you can combine them into one track leaving 3 more tracks to use! So it’s basically a 12 track recorder. And so on and so forth….It’s a great great recorder and for that price? Steal. Get it now.

very cool!
