music
I am one of those that love the old songs that used to be sung in the pub i was born and grew up in, and apart from the rock and roll of the 50`s thought most of the noise that was played on the 70`s and 80`s was done by people who were trying to learn an instrument, but this all changed when I had the opurtunity to do a far east tour with DEEP PURPLE as the loadmaster on their B707
aircraft,
I found that if you were behind the stage the sounds were entirly different and very pleasing to the ear. those musicens were really good, John Lord who played the electronic organ, when not playing with the band used to play with the German Philomonic orchestra,
so now i try and listen a little more closely to what is playing and enjoy it more.
