Where are we moving on to? It saddens me to see someone banging on a perfectly good guitar. That's for a percussion player! I don't even like those who palm a beat in a tune between strumming. Play guitar-let someone else thump and bang. A solo act can do without it. You know Tommy can can carry a rhythm. This just saddens me to no end.
They Say, I haven't decided where to move on to yet... I know Tommy just thinks of a guitar as a wooden box that can make all sorts of sounds. When he replaces the big one, he takes sand paper to the butt area below the bridge so he can use it to make brushing sounds. He has also played drums in a band.
I find myself doing a lot of drumming with my fingers so I think I can identify with a need to bang it out musically. Though I don't bang on my solid mahogany guitar...
I know about finger drumming. But I just know that there is a part for this and that. I don't care if he is as good as Koopa or Rich--he is playing the guitar now. Or maybe he just can't separate the two. Then again some will try to woo the fans with a slow rendition of blue swade shoes. I saw Blue Ouster Cult in the `70's, and was so let down- for an encore they played, a slowed down version of Blue Swade Shoes. I never listened to them again.
Seems like Blue Oyster was a one hit wonder. The Reaper, which I could never get down with. Too dark for me. Tommy just thinks of himself as a performer who will do anything he can to entertain.
Hi Kid! This is perfect music to serenade your valentine by. I hope you and your wife had a lovely and
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day!
Bunni, we did. Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed the Australian guitar + 18 Jamacian boys banging away on the wood.
