Sometimes I think of the classic 70s Renaissance era as the John Tout era.  His piano was the main lead instrument, and he played beautifully with passion and grace.  Note how different the band sounded in the 80s and beyond without him, and how it was never the same.  A terrific loss.
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"

Indeed, I believe John Tout was as important for the sound of the classic era as Annie herself.

The Scheherazade album is my renaissance. In Autumn, long long time ago my friend lent me the Scheherazade album and I recorded it on c-cassette. The music was fantastic, never heard anything as beautiful in rock, especially because of the singerīs angelic voice. At the same I met a sweet girl with very long golden hair and madly fell love with her. But I lost her. I kept listening the cassette occasionally and dreamed of the girl with golden hair. 
Suddenly I found her again just in the beginning of summer. Heart 
I was so lucky. It was incredible. "Burning love comes once in lifetime". Oh what it is to be young. We have 2 children. 
Scheherazade and my story. Now I have all the 70īs Renaissance albums and my listening marathon will begin.

John, Thanks for your beautiful music. RIP
