There's a new journal entry waiting for you to read. It contains some memories from the year 1968 and also has four photographs illustrating the text. Have a look and a read...

Pardon me if this question has been asked recently, as I've been away for awhile. As I await delivery of the Old Haunts CD I've been on a Bill Nelson listening jag. Two of my sentimental favorites are Bill's re-imagined soundtracks for Caligari and Belle et la Bete. It got me to wondering if Bill has any plans to record a keyboard centered album anytime in the future. I for one would LOVE it. Also, Best wishes to your mother and you Bill. My mom and mother-in-law are both in their 90s. My wife is caregiver for her mother, who we moved in with us after she suffered a stroke several years ago. My heart goes out to you and Emi.

Since one or two of us have been discussing Be Bop Deluxe during the Modern Music era, in the 'Remember your first Be-Bop gig?' thread, I thought this might be of interest. I think Fil gives a really good appraisal of Bill's playing, technique, song composition, structure and direction etc and the band's overall dynamics...You can see he is really enjoying the performance, in particular Bill's guitar playing. To be fair, we all know how good Be Bop were and we've all seen this OGWT performance, and they absolutely nail it, as usual, 'Down On Terminal Street' is perfect and a great recording...And Fil does touch upon Bill's later/current work, which is obviously a plus....I've been checking out this guy's videos for a while on YouTube and they really are a pleasure to watch.

Missed getting this in, but yesterday, 8 December, was the anniversary of the release of “Shining Reflector” in 2014. .

Mick would have been 65 years old today. His bass playing was sublime and he had such a unique and instantly recognizable sound, which really was the 'magic-ingredient' in Japan's own unique formula. He remains a favourite musician of mine and it's hard to believe 12 years has gone since his passing. Japan - Quiet Life

Both of theses gems were released on this date in 2006. .

Both of these incredible albums were released on this day in 2007. .

Hello, we are an up and coming band called king electric blue (name is a work in progress). The members currently include users Frippp , mucki :3 and myself of course. We are a band separated by the sea, as we live in different countries, but we won't let that stop us! Currently Frippp is doing drums (as a joke), mucki :3 is the guitarist, and I'm keys/vocals, that might change in the future though. If anyone is interested in being involved, you can ask us! (also, we're looking at art rock/prog rock styles)

Benefit death reviews 'shrouded in secrecy' - BBC News

Now here's a thing apparently Charlie planned to play fretless bass on Drastic Plastic but was delivered a standard fretted bass, they got hold of a fretless neck but couldn't make it fit in France (Juan-le-Pins). What would DP have sounded like with Charlie's fretless bass! Magnificent I should imagine, the mind boggles. 😍🙂

Now and again more so recently thinking about the late and great Mick Ronson ...

Mick Jagger turned eighty years old today. It's only rock and roll, but he still likes it. 😎

i LOVE Bill Nelson! He's my favorite musician ever and i want to listen to all of his albums, but there are just so many!!! Idk if i can listen to all of these albums in my lifetime! 😿😭😦😥

...complete with Hank and the guys 😀

This fantastic instrumental album is now available digitally!!! Today (Friday) sees the artist getting a larger cut of the profits as Bandcamp waive their fee! check it out here.

Well firstly, this is a superb song from the wonderful and hugely talented Ian McNabb, called 'Makin' Silver Sing' (think guitars strings), from the excellent 'Our Future In Space' album (highly recommended)...so it's definitely worth a listen. The promo video features brief glimpses of some of the worlds finest and most talented and accomplished artists/musicians/guitar players and I'm pleased to say Bill Nelson (and Simon Fox), Modern Music tour footage, is featured! and quite rightly keeping the exalted company he deserves and indeed has earned over the decades..and seeing this brief glimpse of Bill in this company, it just 'seems right'..although I'm pretty sure Bill would downplay that, I think it is the right gravitas that Bill should be regarded in...He should be more widely recognised in the very top tier of world class musicians, and I think in the last few years has received and indeed is receiving much more recognition an acknowledgment on that front. We all know Bill shuns the celebrity limelight and all that jazz, and I think we all appreciate that stance..I imagine to Bill, art is it's own reward, creating, striving to progress, move forwards, looking to catch perfection, or as close as one can get. 'Makin' Silver Sing' doesn't really need any explanation, there are some wonderful guitar players / musicians in this video and I do happen to know how highly Ian McNabb regards Bill Nelson... So, it's a great song to listen to and pretty much the perfect video to accompany it... I hope others may enjoy watching, and listening to it!

While perusing an old Guitar Player magazine (Nov 2007) I ran across a review of the Campbell American Nelsonic Transitone. Not sure if it was posted here previously so I have included the sidebar that Bill wrote. I never got to play one. However I recently acquired the Eastwood Astroluxe Cadet. The cream/red color combo and atom inlays were maintained.
