Since I am a Roman Catholic, the notion of reincarnation is for me relegated to the category of "interesting beliefs of other people". However, if that concept were on the Smörgåsbord of belief systems recommended to me by my elders, I would surely be hoping that I could be re-born as a guitar player of the ilk of Marco Sfogli.

If you are a lover of music, I defy you not to be entranced by this transportative piece . If you are also a guitar player or guitar enthusiast, I defy you not to be dazzled by the wonderfretting that awaits you if you click below.

I defy you also not to be uplifted by the optimism imbued in the music. I find it very moving and it gets me close to tears - in a good way.

Enjoy.

I. Was. There.

This evening a friend reminded me about a band from the Eighties that I had utterly forgotten about. Here's an unashamedly Eighties-look video for the song "The Motive" by British pop band Then Jerico from back-in-1987.



I'm reliably informed that the band are still playing and are playing gigs this year. Like it.

Despite not being a Floydy, I do love the way David Gilmore can make his guitar sing. And this song contains one of the most compelling rock guitar solo sequences ever.

Ever.
