Looking For The Magic
Dwight Twilley***With a splash of help from Phil Seymour & Tom Petty. It's quite obvious to me that the times in which Twilley & Seymour for that matter; Were pre-computer, with about 36 or so major & major offshoots at the time. From a business standpoint, read the legalities that plagued Dwight. It is this scenario which is the pseudo wall, that came crumbling down to the present 4 to 3 "major" entities left standing.
Dwight Twilley's music is phenomenal. An embodiment of Pure Power Pop, is where my interest sits. The other elements of Rock & Roll & Rockabilly; For that matter Tulsa as a music hub ltself : This is where things could get a bit mixed up. I Love Power Pop. They used to call it Rock/Pop...
This song by God, is great. But What Do I Know Anyway...*

Out of my hands
Dwight Twilley***Is over the top, where I had yet to gaze. Another prime example of What Is New Is Old...What Is Old Is Strikingly New.
This song puts me in a boat with Dwight & other people who have felt this way. You love... you lose. It's not in our own hands to decide.No need to speak much more, lest my right arm starts to melt onto the keyboard, along with the rest of my feelings...*

All I Wanna Do
The Beach Boys from the album Sunflower*** I have to admit that upon listening to this cut, I am amazed as to its' almost near proximity from a vocal standpoint, to anything vaguely reminding me of The Beatles.
A tip of the hat to Mike Love. I never thought much of him musically until now. Nice vocal Sir...*

David Bowie ft. Mike Garson - My Death (Live)
***Since I've begun raining Scott Walker on you, This song is written by Scott Walker. Let's have a taste of Mr. Bowies' version ; Then the next post, have a listen to Scott Walkers version.
Mr. Walkers version, is visually like a bit of a film from The Jetsons' era, post war America. Both versions are simply superb ; I have for the first time, I now see, who is obviously one of Davids'
deepest influences...mind blower...*

Montague Terrace (in blue)
Scott Walker***This man is unbelievable. I've come across something/someone whom I can't even compare to anyone I've ever heard. He is truly brilliant & I've just started scratching the surface.
Easily from what little I have gathered, post Walker Brothers, Scott put out 4 solo albums. Some have said it messed up his career. Oh Ka Ka. The guy is genius. Now I now how they could hyperbole The Walker Brothers in the U.K. to be bigger than the Stones or Beatles in fan base.
By Christ, that is sure a lot of cats around all over the place. Until further fatigued, I will continue my quest into the art of Scott Walker: The 30th century musician-artist. That's more than my two cents...*

Let Her Dance
Phil Seymour***Another tune from my latest infatuation-25yrs] A nice cut & a good parallel to my personal life. After a quarter of a century, I made a weak attempt to contact an old girlfriend.
Well...all I can say is that I thought that true-blue friendship could last forever. I guess I was wrong. I suppose to some women, I'm a downright curse...But What Do I Know Anyway...*

I Really Love You
Phil Seymour*** A wonderful, beautiful time-less song. Knowing of your 9 yr. fight with lymphoma; Links us all the more...
It's about time they put the music back onto the airwaves & star-waves.
I can see you coming up the highway as the brightest light in the sky-[planet Venus]-& the comet that streaked almost right over my head in the summer of 93...We love you Phil & we miss you. God bless you sir...*

Some 30 years later ; As the 4 soon to be three "major" labels walls come crumbling down ; Thanks for the tech revolution. Where are my Valiums...*
