Having a quiet morning so indulged in a guilty pleasure on Alexa.

The Carpenters - Goodbye to Love

Such a perfect voice, lost to the world far too young. You can listen to and understand every word she sings. Unlike the mindless house/garage/garbage/rap/crap/dance/trance that is churned out today. And I love the guitar solo, Tony Peluso? I think. He said it was the first power ballad guitar solo.

At first John Peel said he hated it but as he mellowed he warmed to the song.
Every time I hear a Carpenters song it makes the day just that little bit brighter.

Who’d get a statue in Cardiff?

AFL, Pino Palladino, Shaking Stevens, Shirley Bassey. My money’s on Frank Hennessy :emoticon-0140-rofl:
 
I’ll be dusting down my old Beach Boys 45’s & sip a few Shipyard Ales or two with a shot of JD later. Brian Wilson RIP.
A troubled soul but a musical colossus.
You realise his impact on music at the time when you read the tributes from the likes of McCartney, Elton John, Dylan, Daltry, Carole King and many more.
Innovative and took music into a totally different space. His reach was far and wide, influencing a number of genre. People like that are few and far between.
You don't need to be a lover of his music to appreciate the impact he made.

Oh, by the way, you can keep the Shipyard Ale.:emoticon-0119-puke:

I still often listen to his first self titled solo album - 37 years ago - makes me feel so old <doh>

Oh and as for the ale I adopted a USA theme but in hindsight I’ll stick to Czech pilsner<cheers>
I like my real ale. Happy drinking out of bottles. Tried Shipyard. Mark it down as an experience that doesn't need repeating.

My wife is a big fan of music and we discuss the passing of musicians and how they date us.

Sly Stone passed the other day. Can't say I listened to the Family Stone, but it was there as a sign post in our youth.
