65. 62. Weird questions.

Fri Jul 3, 2015, 05:01 PM

Jul 2015

I am in my late fifties and love a lot of EDM, chill, trance and electronica as well as classical music, bop and post bop jazz, electric English folk and classic/neo-classic prog. Though the Beatles were my touchstone band.

Some eternal faves

Ryuichi looked like a young god in those days. The dancing keyboard player stage left rear is his then wife Akiko Yano. I thought all electric music would sound like this one day.

Not Sandy Denny, but damn fine, and the lads still tear it up but good.
