Clapton is still GOD.

If you are too young to know what that refers to, Google it.

I KNOW! I KNOW!

Duane Allman did the opening guitar riff.

JIm Gordon did the piano coda. In the late 1970s, Gordon complained of hearing voices in his head.
In June 1983, he was convicted of killing his mother. During his trial, he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. In May 1984, he was sentenced to 16 years to life in prison.
He's still there.

A collection of Strawbs, "Halcyon Days."  Many songs would be great for RenActs to cover, this one I could definitely hear someone doing at Faire.  They would need to change out the 60's vernacular of "blow away my mind" to something like "unsettle my mind," but otherwise it's a wonderful tune of enchantment:

Witchwood ~ David Cousins

I dropped down in the witchwood
To see what I could find
The trees had taken time out
To blow away my mind
All that I could hear there
Was the sound of my own voice
But the music it was making
Was nothing of my choice.

The interwoven branches
Were laden deep with snow
A rainbow shone so softly
To show which way to go
I observed its many colours
Till my eyes were rimmed with frost
I tried hard to trace my footsteps
For I feared I might get lost.

The witchwood started singing
With a strange unearthly sound
My fingers grew like branches
I stood rooted to the ground
And the spell is still unbroken
I am still her bidden slave
Till a casket from the witchwood
Bears my body to the grave.

A good old KISS ballad. And another song I like of their's which many will probably want to hang me for saying this, but "I Was Made For Loving You." A sort of pseudo disco rock tune, but for KISS to do a cross over in styles like that shows some musicianship. But, the rest of KISS is what I really listen too. These are just two of the one's they usually play on the radio besides Detroit Rock City and Rock and Roll All Night. Any other tune has to be requested or done on a special radio show. I mean Kiss has many tunes, better than these.

My hubby totally approves of your taste in music.   ;D  And even I like KISS to some degree...particularly "I Was Made for Loving You".

Currently, though, I've been listening to Queen.  As far as I'm concerned, there are other good and great bands, but nobody tops Queen.  :)

Oh yes. Queen is a great. And not for stuff like We Will Rock You, or Bohemian Rhapsody, but Ogre Battle, Liar, Keep Yourself Alive, I Want It All. I'm In Love With My Car. The whole Queen 1 & 2 albums/cds. The list goes on. It's just too bad they don't play their other stuff. There's alot of good tunes out there that are over looked by radio because they only do what makes them money, not want the listeners want. And I'm not just talking Queen and Kiss. But many other rock bands of the 70's and 80's. Right now in my cd player I have Black Sabbath Heaven and Hell and Bob Segar's newest album face the Promise. And they have tunes they don't usually play on the radio, but are awesome. For the most part the stuff on the radio lacks substance in lyrics and musicianship.

Just discovered a new band that has me fascinated.  Apocalyptica.  They do heavy metal with CELLOS.  They have a YouTube video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGnAzkh9kn0 .  One of my other favorite bands is Wolfstone which uses bagpipes to play metal influenced Celtic music.  I keep thinking how great it would be to combine the two.  What a sound that would be.  Cellos, bagpipes, whistles, electric guitars an bass, drums with heavy rock beat.

If I only had the equipment and place to practice.   I don't think getting the players would be a problem.

I'm finding that Iron and Wine's "The Shepherd's Dog," is playing the most in my house right now, sort of neo-psych/folk stuff.  Great for cooking with.  Out in the car at the moment, it's Country Joe and the Fish's "Electric Music For the Mind and Body."  Love that ornate psychedelic style of electric guitar.

I really like that one! Also check out Fleet Foxes, I think you'll find them interesting.  :)

I'm getting ready for faire listening to a bunch of stuff.

E Muzeki, Owain, Corvus Corax, Empty Hats, Faun, etc. Also the Shakespeare in Love soundtrack.
