They used to be with Mahavishnu Orchestra along with John McLuaghlin.

Jan Hammer went on to write all sorts of television and movies themes including the ones for Miami Vice.

Jan Hammer truly is one of the great synth gods of our time

My latest musical project, re-arranging a shortened version.

Saw Jeff Wayne perform the whole Arena version of War of the Worlds with Justin Hayward, Russell Watson and a rather weird projection of Richard Burton who narrated the show, spectacular is the only way to describe it.

EDIT

Try this if you get an error with the embedded Youtube.

Or search Youtube in your iwn country for Eve of War by Jeff Wayne.

In honour of the Starman launched yesterday...

For those who aren't aware, SpaceX has successfully launched a new rocket, and its test payload was Elon Musk's old Tesla Roadster, with a mannequin in the driver's seat playing Bowie on a loop. Oh and it has 'DON'T PANIC!' printed on the dashboard The plan was to put the car in orbit around Mars, but the final burn overshot so it will be off to the asteroid belt instead.

I saw that on the news! My first impression was "wow! Exciting"
But sadly I think a doomed project.
Anyway love the Bowie tracks.
Cheers

Just back home after a 120 mile drive after seeing The Mavericks in concert.

They are awesome and Raul Malo’s voice is one of the best out there.

 

[happyrat1]

Never heard of em. What's the genre? C&W? Pop? Rock? Alternative?

Jusging by the name I'm guessing Texas style C&W Rock.

Not really my cup of tea.

Gary

 

[Biggles]

I know it get cold in the north of Canada but you must have heard the song Dance The Night Away.

 

[happyrat1]

They enjoy C&W out in the wilds of Alberta annd Saskatchewan.

I'm a city boy born and bred. If there's a country station in Toronto or Montreal lord knows I've never listened to it.

Like I said, really not my cup of tea and nope, I've never heard the song.

Gary

 

[Biggles]

OK City Boy I can understand that.

Me, my Mother was born in Saskatchewan hence its in my genes.

 

[happyrat1]

To be honest, listening to Tom Petty or Dave Matthews or Barlclay James Harvest. is about as country as I ever get.

Tick of approval for the Mavericks.
My wife loves them. She converted me to them a few years ago. There is a local band here plays Mavericks tunes. We often venture out to our local club friday and saturday night to hear the Mavericks tunes. Did I say dancing? Yes she gets me up on the dance floor. The Mavericks songs are so addictive and vibrant. You can't help but move! At the end of each Maverick set we are usually dripping wet with sweat..

Nice mention Biggles! I would love to see them live.
This one is a fav of my wife (and me)
