52 years of friendship. The news comes as no surprise. I'm sure you had all your documents in order...
No more jokes about getting the band together!

A sweet song from yesteryears.

In music news today, drummer Ginger Baker who came on the music scene with the 1960's super group Cream has died at the age of 80.

While he became a legend with a style of his own, I'm told in his declining years he was 'more than' grumpy and difficult when asked to interview.

It didn't matter... he influenced thousands of aspiring drummers!

Jack Bruce died in 2014

That leaves Clapton to carry on the musical legend...

Yes, it's somewhat common and natural.
It's not that much of an adjustment.

Granted, most players stick to one way.
But there's no law against trying something different.
It might feel good. Try it.
You know you want to.

Sure when most people think of sax,
it's with either a
alto or a tenor.
But there's baritone and soprano too.
Some people do it all.

What ?

Tapping is a style of guitar playing where the strumming hand assists the fingering hand by tapping the fretboard and adding additional chord notes the fingering hand cannot reach or to supplement with syncopated notes to the melody. Assuming the guitarist is right handed, it's the left hand playing chords and the right hand that picks (or strums) the notes. By tapping the fretboard a note is played with the same volume as though it was plucked.

The earliest example I found using this style was Vittorio Camardese from a 1965 video...

Back in 2013, the metalcore band As I Lay Dying was in the middle of a tour, when their frontman Tim Lambesis was arrested and charged with soliciting a murder on his estranged wife. He met with a, unbeknownst to Tim, an undercover cop, and agreed to pay him $20.000 to carry out a hit.

Tim was subsequently arrested and thrown in jail in 2014, where he received a 6 year jail sentence, but he was released on parole in 2016.

I swore then and there, that I would refuse to listen to any As I Lay Dying, for as long as I lived, because I would not support Tim or his band. It went pretty well, until recently when I listened to this song, by accident



It only dawned on me, after about 25 listens, that it was As I Lay Dying.

So therefore I admit: I was wrong! I WILL listen to his band again, if they churn out bangers like this one!
