Apparently, I’m the only hit you get if you do a Google search for the phrase “get out of my office, you lousy talking mime”. I’m not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. But it is important to call your attention to these things.
I apologize for the lack of updates. I’ve been busy playing that Paranormal Deathmatch game I mentioned in a previous entry. It’s goooood stuff.
I still didn’t give you the playlist for last Friday’s concert. I’ll start. Forgive my spelling of the names here, that’s part of why it’s not up yet: I don’t know the names of some of the songs, and I don’t want to look goofy. Okay, so from left to right (onstage) we had
Mark Farnham of Grand Funk Railroad
Jack Bruce of Creem
Todd Rundgren
Christopher Cross
Alan Parsons.
They opened with two Beatles songs (Hard Days Night and Daytripper) and then each of them had the stage for two of his own songs. Alan kind of got three because he did Syrius into Eye in the Sky, which is how the radios used to play it even though they are two songs. Anyway, the guy behind me said “Boy, he doesn’t sound good” but that showed he’s not a fan. If he WAS a fan he’d know that Alan didn’t sing on any of those albums, (okay, one or two and backup). That was Eric Woolfson on the album. But it really wasn’t the place to explain it to him. I thought Alan did a fine job, and Christopher “I’m going to hide behind this big leather coat and baseball cap” Cross chimed in for vocals. Then Alan did Games People Play which is really tremendously appropriate for the casino venue.
More later…
