                                        Jon Anderson's 60's

from Little John's Skiffle Group/The Warriors/The Gun/The Open Mind/Mabel Greer's Toyshop to the start of the 'classical' Yes period.

Jon Anderson was born John Roy Anderson in Accrington, Lancashire, England, to Albert and Kathleen Anderson. His father was from Scotland whilst his mother was of Irish ancestry. Anderson dropped the "h" from his first name in 1970.

His musical career began at school, The St. John's Infants School in Baxenden, Accrington. There he made a tentative start to a musical career playing the washboard in "Little John's Skiffle Group", which played songs by Lonnie Donegan, among others. Anderson left school at the age of fifteen and went through a series of jobs including farm hand, lorry driver and milkman. Anderson tried to pursue a football career at Accrington Stanley F.C. but five foot five inch Jon was turned down because of his frail constitution. He remains a fan of the club.

Leonard Cohen - Suzanne

Wonderful song

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Cohen

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.
And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said "All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.

Now Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.

The Rolling Stones (Zuiderpark The Hague 1976)

Weer eens een klein muzikaal stukje uit mijn jeugd.
In 1976 speelden The Rolling Stones in het Zuiderpark in Den Haag en dat was niet zo ver van waar wij woonden. De wind stond de goede richting uit, luisterend op het kleine balkonnetje van ons huis naar vlagen Stones-muziek. dat was toch wat!
Met dank aan de uploader nu met wat beeld erbij.

In Gowan Ring

Some beautiful music of In Gowan Ring. 

 

 

 Jon Michael better known as B'eirth or B'ee (born March 25, 1973), is the vocalist and conductor/composer in the experimental psych folk band In Giowan Ring. 

Rarely mentioned in articles and reviews without an adjective, B'eirth has been called "mysterious," "reclusive," "nomadic," "effusive," and "singular." Much of this attention is due to his cultivated image as a modern-day troubadour, often performing music (and presumably living) in old-fashioned clothes or costumes, and preferring instruments with Renaissance roots.

Miniatures 'A Sequence Of Fifty-One Tiny Masterpieces'

In 1979 keyboardist Morgan Fisher (a.o. Mott The Hoople) sent out invitations to about a hundred of his favorite musicians to supply him with a miniature of their work. The only restriction was that the piece couldn't be over a minute long. What resulted is this album.

Jon Anderson - Olias of Sunhillow

In 1975, Yes took a break to rest from touring and each member of the band got in the production of a solo album. Jon Anderson locked himself into his personal home garage studio surrounded by synthesizers, drums, Irish harp, guitars and a collection of percussion instruments. In the album, Jon Anderson played more than 20 instruments and wrote, arranged and played all of the music himself.
With his first solo album Jon Anderson created a masterpiece of progressive music. „Olias of Sunhillow“ has been considered one of the most innovative albums from the 70’s for creating a unique fusion of electronic music, ethnic music, classical music, progressive music, and folk. Like a great artist Jon Anderson paints a magic musical virtuosity that  take us into another world.
The album featured an exquisite sleeve with several pages illustrated by artist David Fairbrother Roe.

Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth) / Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon)

Interview Arjen Lucassen about Mikael Akerfeldt

http://www.arjenlucassen.com/ayreon/ay_mikael.html

Studio Report - The Human Equation:

Swedish singer/grunter Mikael Åkerfeldt moved heaven and earth to fit the Ayreon recording session in his amazingly busy schedule. Read all about how the session was in Arjen's own words.

- What made you choose Mikael Åkerfeldt for this Ayreon project?
Arjen: Many journalists who interviewed me told me to have a listen to Opeth. When I heard that they did a proggy album (Damnation) I bought it. In the beginning I had to get used to it, and I didn't understand what all the fuss was about. But then I found myself playing it over and over again, until I just couldn't stop playing it! How could I have missed this innovative band?

- How did you get in touch with Mikael?
Arjen: I sent an email to Opeth's management, explaining them who I was and that I would love to have Mikael sing on my album. To my surprise I got an email back from Mikael himself, saying that he really likes my music and even bought some of my albums!

- Describe the recording session in three words.
Arjen: Fun, relaxed, fast.

- How would you describe Mikael's voice?
Arjen: Obviously Mikael has two extreme sides, his brutal deathgrunts and his warm, melancholic singing voice. Like Mikael, I like extremes.

- What was the most memorable moment?
Arjen: I asked him to do an improvisation at the end of the album. Now so far the singers gave me a beautiful or impressive melodyline, but Mikael just gave me the most ferocious deathscream I have ever heard!

- What was something you absolutely didn't expect?
Arjen: That Mikael, who started out as a grunter, could sing so well and so easily. And also that he is, like me, a huge Camel (the band) fan.

- What was something Mikael did not expect?
Arjen: I also wanted him to grunt a few lines on the album besides singing. "Are you sure?" he kept asking me. Then he suggested to do a soft grunt, but no, I wanted it as evil as possible!

- Mikael has the unique ability to...
Arjen: ...sound really evil, and be really nice.

- Describe the endresult of the session.
Arjen: Very satisfying. I'm very honoured to have him on my album, this was very important to me. We had a great time, for we are both huge music lovers. He's he first guy I met (besides Shadow Gallery's Mike Baker) who knows more obscure bands than I do! I think I made him very happy with some collectors items from my old LP collection. We'll meet again I'm sure.

Mikael Akerfeldt (solo)

Back in September 2009 Mikael Åkerfeldt revealed that he is contemplating recording a singer-songwriter acoustic solo album. Still looking forward to this.
