"That is ridiculous - what ever happened to "The Music of the People"? Most big-name rock acts are outrageously priced here, too. But I saw English guitarist & Fusion pioneer Allan Holdsworth at the Winchester Tavern here last September for a whopping $20.00. One of the greatest guitarists alive - and he had a great night.

"I saw both ELO's - they're very good, but Neil Young reaches a deeper part of me inside - I feel an emotional connection (which is ultimately what makes music the "universal" language - instrumental, or vocal). I've seen Greg Howe in Guitar Player magazine a couple times (I rarely see it anymore). I got out of touch with what was happening decades ago - in my late teens & early 20s. I searched out music from all over the world, and all periods in history. I really like serious Medieval & Renaissance choral music - masses & motets. Since it's all in Latin with over-lapping words, there need be no religious association. I just like it as music. I also like the classical music of N & S India, Bulgarian folk music - and many others that don't involve a rhythm section like pop music. Because I've heard so much variety, I'm free to be ignorant of what's new. Steve Vai is great for a "young" guy - truly amazing. It was several years before I'd even heard of Eddie Van Halen, but but he was a hard-rocker after I'd heard Fusion - and Ornette Coleman (avant guarde jazz sax). There's not much excitement in Metal (which only pretends to be outrageous & cutting edge - mainly the costumes & coifs) after Ornette goes nuts on sax. Besides, Metal has been around so long its originators are all old geezers. How is it then outrageous & 'new'?"ConcertCrowd provides personalized concert listings on Facebook
"The only YT video of Allan Holdsworth I like is a studio cut: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbE4B8vstcg It just shows a pic of the 1986 cover. I saw him open his show with it at the Allen Theater in Cleeb'm in '86 or '87. Needless to say, my jaw dropped. It's all "SynthAxe" guitar synth - there's no keyboard on the album. (Some YT live videos of it do have keys.) I don't know why, but I'm not satisfied w/any of his live YT stuff except one early one with Soft Machine. He was but a wee lad: http://www.Youitube.com/watch?v=JIC-nJRcgeU His style & technique is unique - he seldom picks notes, almost all the notes you hear are from left-hand legato. He wanted to sound like a sax. "Jonathan's Card - A Viral Marketing Campaign?
"Interesting, Martin. I assume the Gubmen tax it at the normal rate that the cup of coffee would bring? What if the picture is worth More than the coffee - how do they tax it then? (This is my problem with barter - it's fine, but if the Gubmen find out, they'll expect a piece of the action.) Duncan"Subscribe

Leadership: Not Just For Corporate Heads In Bulging Departments
"I think your definition of leadership is accurate, Jackie, but why are politicians the exact opposite of true leaders - they listen only to hand-picked yes-men, and manage to flip-flop depending on which way the wind blows. They promise everyone everything, saying what they know they want to hear, and deliver next to nothing (it's basically a coinkydink when they do deliver). How can it be? Duncan"
