I love playing and singing "Heart of the sunrise", with all its
changes... But I think "Firth of fith" is the one I love most. When the
guitar solo comes....WHOAO! It's orgasmic!!!

I've been playing "Soon" with my wife and friend Fred. I've got a nice patch that gives me that lap steel tone. "Never the Same" from Echolyn and ELP's "Lucky Man" and "From the Beginning," too. Lotsa non-prog too. |

I used to play in a band when I was 17-20 years old ... but during my time at the university I didn't have time for that anymore. Maybe I'll begin looking for a band again ... ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

Funny... I'm also known for a killer medley. Daytripper combined with Roadrunner (essentially the exact same riff). And sometimes I mix it up with a Cygnus X-1/Hemispheres medley. I'm a showoff, I know.

for guitar: anything by Rush, specifically: A Farewell to Kings (5/4 time is fun) La Villa Strangiato (i think that's how it's spelled) The Trees 2112 (yeah, all of it)
for drums: almost anything by Zeppelin. i'm trying to learn stuff from Selling England By the Pound, but having just started playing drums again after a year and a half hiatus, it's a bit hard.
for keyboard: The Final Cut (album) by Pink Floyd Currently transcribing "Dancing With the Moonlit Knight"

I play violin... hard to find 'playable' tracks (1) and then some that looks good alone (2). I am not able to play Jean Luc Ponty stuff, sorry... Never liked to play other people songs, even when I played guitar and drums. It is just boring... ------------- Vive le Québec libre!... |

Even though I studied piano for more than 5 years, never was very good, so my favorite song top play is the easiest, Come Sail Away by STYX. Now as a drummer I love to play everything but my favorite is One for the Vine even when it's a very hard song to follow, Phil adds a lot of variations that defy logic. Iván

Hmmm....recently: Sound of Muzak - Porcupine Tree Paradigm Shift - Liquid Tension Experiment Red - King Crimson A Change of Seasons - Dream Theater Including old Megadeth, Metallica and a handful of Tool songs. Probably a few others that I've forgotten about. The boys in the band and I will knock around these and some others from time to time. For the technically harder tunes it usually becomes a contest to see how far we can get before someone forgets or flubs.

We're currently working on The JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE's "3rd stone from the sun" with my friends. We have a basic drums-bass-guitar trio with old 60's equipment and sound. We don't even do singing, so when we thought about possible coversongs, it should be:
Other candidates were "Undertune" by The WHO, or some FRANK ZAPPA tunes transcribed to our trio. "Redunzl"? If anyone spots any tune that fits my description, please let me know! |
