Being a typical teen of course anything he did or said was completely wrong, foolish, horribly old fashioned, or just completely out of touch. I have since apologized many times over (for that & many other teen based "I know I'm right & you're just an old fashioned idiot" arguments) & have come to realize that he probably just wanted a break from the Thin Lizzy that was shaking the house the rest of the week...<br /><br />The point of that long meandering flashback was to give my wholehearted endorsement of this RLT album. It is a perfect album for this particular early spring Sunday. I'm sitting out on the patio enjoying being out in the sun as winter winds down, the birds singing their songs, & in the background this lovely jazz album with it's salute/interpretation of long forgotten & yet quite familiar classical pieces. This album coming as it does right before they really started to be popularly recognized, really catches the trio at the top of their "keep working hard, we're almost there" era & it really shows in the way that the individual instruments really flow together.<br /><br />Thanks much for posting this. I'd be quite interested in listening to any other classical fusion albums that you may have.Innocent Bystanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05722767191454378746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080225594170928179.post-10169312259326563512012-02-26T23:02:33.224-08:002012-02-26T23:02:33.224-08:00http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?jd5ljjpix7r0...http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?jd5ljjpix7r0h65Sam Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496600446292011281noreply@blogger.com
