Another day of listening. Started with Joni Mitchell.... So fanttic. Chelsea Morning and Yellow Taxi... So many old favourites. Whilst taking xmas tree down i listened to stravinsky, Petrouchka and The Rite of Spring. Not gentle listening, but again music that i am very familiar with. My final listen was Emmerson Lake and Palmer - a collection. It was fun to start with and i enjoyed listening to Greg Lake's fab voice and my favourites LUcky Man and Take a Pebble. The music was 'vigorous' and thank the lord that we dont hear too many long, long, long drum solos anymore. I haven't listened to this band for ages and they were one of my favourite bands in the early 70's, but I had sufficient by the time the second album finished.
