Black Sabbath; "War Pigs"..
Today is lead guitarist Tony Iommi's birthday. Tony lost the tips of his ring and middle fingers on his fret hand in a sheet metal plant on his last day on the job. He made himself some thimbles out of melted plastic bottles and covered them with leather to get a better grip on the strings. Here's to perseverance!Comment

I regret not seeing them live when they had a concert in Singapore. Glenn Frey just died recently another reason that made me regret not seeing them live "Eagles" when I was in Dubai.Originally posted by optical24/7 View PostComment

Sir George Martin, dead at 90
Often called the "5th Beatle" George Martin was the 1st to sign the Beatles to a recording contract and went on to being instrumental in their songs arrangements and production. "A Day in the Life" was the last song on the Sgt Pepper's album. It ends with an orchestrated crescendo. Martin later said of it;
"What I did there was to write ... the lowest possible note for each of the instruments in the orchestra. At the end of the twenty-four bars, I wrote the highest note ... near a chord of E major. Then I put a squiggly line right through the twenty-four bars, with reference points to tell them roughly what note they should have reached during each bar ... Of course, they all looked at me as though I were completely mad."
The following is clip from a television show that never made it onto the air. Some of the guests seen in it are Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithfull, Donovan and Michael Nesmith. Thank you Sir George, R.I.P....

He also played on at least two dozen of their recordings, and wrote the score to Eleanor Rigby and others. The only orchestral score he didn't arrange was She's Leaving Home.Originally posted by optical24/7 View Post
The powers that be sure got that one right- Lennon, McCartney, and Martin. It will probably be another two hundred years before that happens again.

RIP. Merle, was the first country artist my Dad and I could agree on. He altered my appreciation for country music and George Dickel. Merle Haggard and The Strangers along with Buck Owens and The Buckaroos were instrumental in popularizing the Bakersfield Sound, influencing artists like Dwight Yoakam and The Derailers who continue the tradition.I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it.
