Dzień dobry, Marek ze Szczecina. Goszczę tu po raz pierwszy. O istnieniu grupy Flash and the Pan dowiedziałem się we wczesnych latach osiemdziesiątych(gwoli ścisłości jestem rocznik 69) i od razu zapałałem do niej sympatią. Nie pamiętam oczywiście, po jakim utworze narodziła się owa sympatia, niemniej trwa do dziś. Choć grupy tej już nie ma, nadal przyjemnym dźwiękiem pieszczą ucho jej utwory. Nie zestarzały sie ani na jotę. Pamiętam również, jakie było moje zdziwienie, gdy dowiedziałem się, iż jednym z jej członków był George Young. Tak na marginesie nigdy nie "porwała" mnie muzyka jego brata Angusa z ACDC, rzekłbym, szarpała moje nerwy. Dziwne, jak bardzo mogą się różnić między sobą dwaj bracia obierajac tak odmienne drogi muzyczne..? Ale to już zupełnie inna historia... pozdrawiam serdecznie wszystkich miłośników tej wspaniałej grupy muzycznej!!!
I bought the mc as soon as the album was released; and more than forty years on, it's still one of my favourite albums, the title song being in my all - time top twenty.
Sądząc po ilości polskich komentarzy, piosenka jest najbardziej popularna w Polsce, z pewnością dzięki panu Kaczkowskiemu 🙂No i bardzo dobrze! Jest hipnotyzująco piękna.
John Mayall, my idol and the father of British blues, passed away on July 22, 2024, leaving a void that words can scarcely describe. To me, he was more than a musical genius; he was a beacon of light in my loneliest times. His music was the soundtrack to my life, resonating through every high and low, guiding me through confusion with his soulful melodies and heartfelt lyrics. The connection I felt to him was profound, as if each note he played was a lifeline, binding me to the solace and understanding his music provided. Throughout his remarkable career, John Mayall's creativity and innovation knew no bounds. He wasn't just a musician; he was a storyteller, a mentor, and a relentless explorer of sound. His ability to discover and nurture talent is legendary, with the Bluesbreakers serving as a launching pad for some of the greatest musicians of our time. But beyond the fame and accolades, it was his genuine love for the blues and his unwavering dedication to his craft that truly set him apart. His music was a reflection of his soul-authentic, raw, and deeply moving. As we mourn his passing, we celebrate the legacy of a man who transformed the landscape of music and touched the hearts of so many. John Mayall's influence will forever echo in the annals of blues history and in the hearts of his fans. His spirit lives on in the timeless tracks he created, offering comfort and inspiration. For me, his music will always be a reminder of the connection we shared, a guiding force through the silence of his absence. Rest in peace, John Mayall. Your music will forever be the light in our darkness.
