This is what you might get if all the music lovers went for a ride in their boss's convertible and left the bosses at home. It's great music, but the show doesn't really work. The problem might be media itself. In the final analysis, media really isn't good for us. It replaces reality with clever falsehoods and the cleverer they are the more we like them. Media is brain sugar poured over everything we see. And finally, everything we think.
So there I was browsing on YT and there you were. Initially drawn to our shared surname, I was enthralled to have the opportunity to sit there with the rest of the audience and enjoy your performance...excellent vocals, great song, stage presence. What a treat for all the senses! Good luck and best wishes going forward. My son Greg Rainey is also a singer / songwriter; hear him on YT sing with his band "Winnebago - Cheating on your Heart". Enjoy!
There will never be another John Mclaughlin because there will never be another 1960's. 13 years between 'Heartbreak Hotel' and SGT Pepper. Think about it and think about how music has changed in the last 13 years. Hmmm......nope thought not. I'm reading the book at the moment and enjoying it BTW.
Diane came to sing for a small group of us at the Song House, Donegal, during our singing groups week holiday. She sang unaccompanied, a beautiful voice, lovely person. Thanks Diane and Good Luck with the recording .
I got to this later in the evening, but it's the best book launch I've ever (virtually) attended, and a great tribute to one of the finest scholars of traditional music.
