  1. The usually flamboyant and eccentric Roy must have been easily bored around this time of his career.

    In the space of a few years, he'd helped morph The Move into The Electric Light Orchestra; then in even less time during that project, walked off to form Wizzard, taking half of the "Orchestra" with him.

    Now, he was having ideas that even his new group couldn't contain...

  2. Nothing Ventured

    The wave towered over me. Then the sound filled my ears. Not the calm breath of the waves;  but it was surf music. I was maybe 3. Song names and artist names were beyond me. There was only the blue-green wave and the twang of the guitar. 

    The Very Best of the Ventures Album

    I have chased music all my life. Just had to figure out the tools. The record player and the giant speakers taught my first lesson: pressing buttons was joy.  In my pursuit I learned in about records, tapes, CDs, mp3, flac, streaming, Napster, torrents, Winamp, VLC, blanks, CD-R/RWs, compression, bit rates, conversion, transfer, backups, VPN, networking, impedance matching, DACs, amplifiers, calibration, ARC, fibre, buying, licensing, and streaming in approximate order.

    The hunt was on. Only a notion of the song and the confidence that I would know it when I heard it. I didn’t know the name of the album only that it had a big wave on the cover. It took me the better part of 6 months, on slow DSL, trawling all the sources I knew. Listening for that drum fade-in. Then one day I found it.

    It’s been decades since the record player stopped spinning. I’ve moved a dozen times, the records were lost. I am the default A/V guy and love the role. Now I live in one of the surfiest places on the planet, the current still pulls but I walk, don’t run.
