Gary Moore on his favorite musicians.

Gary Moore is rightfully considered one of the best guitarists of all time. After leaving the band THIN LIZZY, he embarked on a solo career and contributed a lot to the revival of interest in the blues in Britain and around the world. In 2007, the guitarist spoke about the musicians who inspired him and influenced the formation of his style.

Hank Marvin (THE SHADOWS)

"When I started, that person was Hank Marvin. I was about ten years old, so it was in the early sixties, about 62-63 years old."

youtube

George Harrison (THE BEATLES)

"Then THE BEATLES came along, and, accordingly, George Harrison."

youtube

Eric Clapton (John Mayall)

"At that time, the turning point for me was the Eric Clapton album with John Mayall, in fact, as for many people of my generation. The Beano album by the BLUESBREAKERS. He completely shocked me. I borrowed a copy from a friend because I couldn't afford to buy a record back then. And I played it from morning to night, just learning all the solos."

youtube

Peter Green (At John Mayall's)

"After that, the album A Hard Road with Peter Green was released. It was another wonderful moment in my life."

youtube

Mick Taylor (At John Mayall's)

"Then Mick Taylor played on Crusade, and it was just great."

youtube

Jeff Beck (with THE YARDBIRDS)

"Then Jeff Beck appeared on the scene, with the YARDBIRDS."

youtube

Jimi Hendrix

"Jimi. The whole period of the sixties was a great time for guitar and for young guys playing guitars. Then there were all these incredible unique guitarists with a very strong personality, and each of them is great in their own way. I've collected the recordings of all these guys for myself. And somewhere along the way, you become them, if you're lucky. That's exactly what influenced me the most. But in the seventies, I slowly moved on to very different music."

youtube

"I listened to John McLaughlin, Bill Connors and Return to Forever by Chick Corea. And I liked a lot of it. I liked being in a zone where there was a lot of this fusion stuff. I really fell in love with Django Reinhardt then. And of course, all the bluesmen, BB King, Freddie King, Otis Rush, Albert Collins, Albert King, they are really very cool guys."

youtube

Freddie King - Have You Ever Loved A Woman

Otis Rush: I`Cant Quit You Baby

Albert King - Blues Power - 9/23/1970 - Fillmore East

Irish guitarist Gary Moore died on February 6, 2011 at a hotel in Estepona, Spain. According to experts, the musician had a heart attack due to an excessive dose of alcohol.

1966 - a year of four LPs

1966 was a good year for Russ. He was on the way to recovering as best he could from a stroke he had suffered in late-1965, and by the end of the year he recovered enough that he was able to record four whole albums. This post details those four LPs.

Russ Hour Russ Hour was the first Russ LP to be released in 1966. Recorded on 26th January that year, and released in June, it featured the standard accompaniment directed by Geoff Love.

Unusually, this album was one of two full LPs to be produced from a single recording session held on that day in January. Russ's recording manager, Norman Newell, had booked twice the usual amount of studio time for Russ's first recording session after his stroke as a result of not wishing to overwork him. The first LP they set about recording was Time to Play, which would be released on EMI's budget label Music For Pleasure.

However, because the recording for that LP went so well, the artists moved onto recording a second record - and it was this which became Russ Hour, a full-price LP on EMI's Columbia label. Tracks on this one include Red Roses for a Blue Lady, Lullaby of Broadway, and Hello, Dolly!

Time to Play This was the first record Russ recorded following his 1965 stroke, and was a re-recording of several tunes he had made successful recordings of during the first few years of his solo career. All of the tracks from his 1959 EP Another Six were re-recorded, as well as The Westminster Waltz, The Birthday Cakewalk, Snow Coach, Trampolina, and Matador from Trinidad.

The accompaniment was again directed by Geoff Love (the last time he would work with Russ for an LP), and the album - as was standard for all of Russ's records of this time - made use of the Steinway Model K 'Vertegrand' upright piano which was kept in Abbey Road's Studio Two. This album was released on 16th September 1966. Despite being recorded in stereo, it was initially released in mono only - the same as the Another Six EP.

On compilation albums released after this point, the Time to Play versions of these tunes are almost always the ones included, rather than the original recordings. The most notable difference between the 1966 and original versions is the piano: in 1966, the piano Russ used was much more metallic-sounding than the original Hohner he used at the start of his career.

Concerto for Memories Released some six years after the first of his 'Concerto' albums, this LP marked a significant point in Russ's career: it marked the last time he recorded a new orchestral LP. Released in November 1966 under EMI's Studio2Stereo brand and on their Columbia label, it proved made use of Brian Fahey and his Orchestra.

The title track for this LP was, as with his previous three 'Concerto' albums, written by Russ himself, under his real name of Trevor Herbert Stanford. Concerto for Memories was the only of the four he wrote not to have been released in sheet music form.

This record also marked an interesting turning point for Russ's records: until this point, all of his records had been released either in mono only, or in mono first and then stereo later. However, in this case, it was the stereo mix which was released first, with the mono mix not being released until May 1967. All of Russ's records after this point, except compilation albums using older material, would be released in stereo only.

Pop-a-Conway This last 'pop' album from Russ was released for Christmas 1966, and featured accompaniment directed by Norman Percival rather than Geoff Love. It was the last of his new studio albums to be released by EMI in the UK.

The sleeve notes for this album were written by Hank Marvin, and the tracks included are a range of pop songs from the time, including The Beatles' All My Loving. The More I See You is also included, this time in an upbeat form - it was previously included, in an orchestral style, on Concerto for Memories. Other tracks on this album include Spanish Flea, Strangers in the Night, and It's Not Unusual.

The cover art for this album is bright and colourful, with large title text across it. It's a departure from the standars photograph-and-text for Russ's albums, but a welcome one as it really 'pops' (which works with the album's name, of course!).

I feel like we can't understand the early 60's music these days thanks to the fact we constantly misremember the context of the period. Yes, we tend to make a lot of sweeping generalizations without noticing most of the latter occurred thanks to our confirmation biases. I mean, sure, rock became the dominant form of popular music, but this didn't just happen. The Shadows, for instance, already worked as a backing band for a popular singer, before they established their own brand. However, their path towards themselves resembled many of their peers, i.e. they didn't just stumble upon rock, they developed the latter in their own view. All the compilations mostly tell of the highlights, very few can provide us with a glimpse into the complexities of the ear we discuss.

Who was your favorite pair in the show?

Aside from Buck and Bucky, who is your favorite friend pair on the show?

This is the first of the war fandom shows to be streaming service specific (I believe) on AppleTV. Did you watch each week? Did you wait until it all aired and watched at once? Did you share with a friend?

Who do you want to be your best friend?

Which storyline did you enjoy the most?

Do you think they covered enough in the amount of episodes, or should there have been more?

Who would you not let date your friend/sibling/etc?

If you could have a show about one of the characters after the war, who would it be?

Which MotA character would you want to meet in person? Either the actor, or real life person.

Rate the show 1-5 stars, and tell us why!

If there was anything you wish could have been included, what would it be?

This show wasn’t produced or made in partner with HBO. Do you feel there was a difference in production? If so, did it make it better or worse?

If I missed anything, let me know! Thank you @itstheheebiejeebies for the encouragement and help always ❤️

"grrr i cant believe Suzanne Collins is writing a book on Haymitch instead of on Finnick!"

I CAN! I ABSOLUTELY CAN!!!! You wanna know why? Because Haymitch has more to tell. Like she said the book will be focusing on how propaganda plays such a big part in media. Remember how literally all of Haymitch's family were killed? How tf is the capitol gonna cover that up? It'll be interesting to see how the narrative gets flipped, because by HGs Haymitch is already the laughing stock of the captiol ('oh look at this silly drunk man! isnt he hilariously stupid!') like it will be SO interesting to see how he goes from this strong, confident kid- winner of the quarter quell, 2nd winner ever in district 11 (WITH NO MENTOR!!)- to the broken shell of a man we get in HGs

I saw someone get so mad that Finnick and Annie didn't get a happy ending. They went on and on about how Katniss was an unreliable narrator, and how Finnick was probably still alive, and Suzanne had killed him off for no good reason and should just bring him back. like NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! Katniss is 100% an unreliable narrator, we're shown this so many times throughout the series- but dont use that to try and change the story. Yes, Finnick couldve been happy. Yes, it was unfair that he died. But guess what! thats the point! there are so many unnecessary casualties during war, so many deaths that couldve been avoided, that feel unfair. too many "gone too soon" to fucking count. If you can't see the point suzanne was making thats on you my guy!!

Its so clear these people dont actually care about THG as a series, and just want Finnick back bcs they fancy him. Like do not get me wrong he was a great character and I loved him, but being fr a book on him would just be a little dull. He was a career, his victory was expected. Do not get me wrong i would absolutely love a deep dive into his life AFTER the games. It would be brilliant to see the psychological effects on him. But thats not what these people want, they want another bloodbath, more eye-candy. (they are becoming the people of the captiol)

A person I saw was actually saying that Suzanne was WRONG about finnick being dead?? that he was actually alive and she was delusional?? like mate, fan fiction exists for a reason. dont tell the author of a world-famous best selling series how to write her world-famous best selling series!! she knows what shes doing, and always has, so hush!

#in other news i am SO excited for this book #SO EXCITED #I LOVE HAYMITCH #SO MUCH #Me after projecting onto every tired repressed traumatised dad in the world #me when hank from dbh #me when marvin from falsettos #me when haymitch from thg #i CANNOT wait #tehe #sunrise on the reaping #the hunger games #thg #haymitch abernathy #grace's rambling

Wonderful Land by The Shadows. One of their record 5 UK instrumental Number 1's. Written by Jerry Lordan and originally released by The Shadows in 1962, staying at No. 1 for 8 weeks. After Apache, which was also written by Lordan, this was probably The Shadows best known hit (although I think they should also have tried to get a catchy one word title for this).

This performance was broadcast 31 January 1970 and sees The Shadows using their 'other guitars'. Hank Marvin is most closely associated with his red and white Fender Stratocaster but here he and bassist John Rostill are seen with their black and white Baldwin-Burns Guitars. If you watch John, on the left, at the start of the clip it looks as if he wasn't expecting the backing track to start when it did. As far as I can tell Hank is playing live but its hard to tell at times as he can just play note perfect every time.

Rhythm guitarist Bruce Welch is missing as he had temporarily left the group. Other long time member Brian Bennett is on drums.

Completing the line-up is Alan Hawkshaw seated at the piano. Many won't realise he was in The Shadows for a while but may be familiar with his name and the music he composed for UK television shows such as the music from Countdown, the theme to Dave Allen's comedy shows and the library music that was used as the themes to both Grange Hill and Give Us A Clue.

John Rostill died in 1973 and Alan Hawkshaw in 2021.

If I had a penny for every time a grown ass man who played/plays racket ball left his wife and kids for a character who’s a slightly stereotypical gay man played by Andrew Rannells, ended up in a toxic and unhealthy relationship where the character played by andrew didn’t want to commit fully and the other guy wants a full relationship, only to end up working things out at the end of the show,

I’d have 2 pennies, which isn’t a lot but its weird that it happened twice…

#falsettos #Boys In the band #it’s scary how similar it is #whizzer #whizzer brown #marvin falsettos #andrew rannells #hank boys in the band #Larry boys in the band #larry is whizzer???????#😧
