 5 stars 1967: Procol Harum - Procol Harum - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoIDt_C5y1LsKZlHvjSnF0rGn-iLZJ4OE

An extended version of Repent Walpurgis from Procol Harum's self-titled debut, which is quite possibly the first ever Progressive Rock album. Ermm

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

These are my Top 7 favourites, which made some Procol Harum fans go a whiter shade of pale when they saw how offbeat my list is, but then again, what's new!? Embarrassed

<div style=": rgb248, 248, 252;">2. In Concert with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra <div style=": rgb248, 248, 252;">3. The Prodigal Stranger <div style=": rgb248, 248, 252;">4.

Well that’s surely is up with your usual offbeat approach
Friedrich Nietzsche: "Without music, life would be a mistake."



Music Is Live

Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.



Keep Calm And Listen To The Music…

This is A Rum Tale of Good Captain Clack, A Salty Dog who sailed his ship, the Homburg, Beyond the Pale of Ireland, charting a Pilgrim's Progress across the vast Atlantic Ocean. The weather omens were good, and the captain always believed there's Something Magic about setting off on a long voyage when the sun Shines On Brightly upon white fluffy clouds glowing A Whiter Shade of Pale.  He carried with him a Souvenir of London from the Grand Hotel to remind him of Home. He'd always had An Old English Dream to follow the route of the Conquistadors to the New World in search of gold, when often all they discovered was Fool's Gold, and Quite Rightly So. Before leaving, the captain said The Long Goodbye to his Simple Sister Mary and wished her Toujours L'amour. She kept the Home Fires burning while he was Bringing Home the Bacon away at sea. His loyal crew stocked the ship with a Kaleidoscope of Exotic Birds and Fruit baskets and All This and More besides for the long voyage ahead. The crew relieved Boredom by entertaining themselves with Whaling Stories and they all remembered the cautionary tale of The Wreck of the Hesperus, when a disastrous Power Failure led to the ship hitting rocks, and the Hesperus' crew were tossed helplessly Into the Flood and left Holding On to the ship's wreckage for dear life, when even those As Strong as Samson were About to Die. Cry
