Thank you for posting, I would never have known if you hadn't. 8 minutes onwards on top video made my "hair stand on end" and just goes to show not only how talented but also how modest Christopher Cross was and is.
It would now seem I’m going to be listening to this for a few days whilst my Son learns yet another guitar track…..
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it. Love the way Michael McDonald just pops in to do backing vocals. If you don't know Rick Beato, he does some really good stuff if you are into guitars & guitar music. He does divide opinion but I enjoy him. Continuing the Christopher Cross theme, here's something on one of my favourite relaxing songs...
yes, i've watched that chap on several other artists, and even watched the "sailing" one, but hadn't occurred to me to investigate the other track by C.C. Another person who is similarly under the radar for me is Steve Miller. You sound as though you might be every bit as old as me, and I can go back to an unmissable series by the BBC simply called "the producers "and I never forgot Steve Miller's input and approach to music and recording on this when he was the subject of one of their recordings.
not sure this appeals to everyone, it maybe a keyboard lover's thing, that and playing with your ADSR.
Seems about the best Dion out there. Once you get past the laughable audience; despite the backing vocals done without mikes, Dion himself is spot on, not obviously lip syncing - until the end, when he stops and the fade out carries on.
I don't know exactly how old you are Chris, but well worn could fairly describe me. I wasn't aware of that BBC series but now you've mentioned it I'll have a look for it, thanks.
"The Record Producers" I had a quick look on the BBC Player, and, unchanged from last i looked, the BBC choose to randomly make each available* for listening to, which is irritating however some are available on other platforms - hence my picture of Tony Visconti and David Bowie today, as both parts of this episode are on YouTube. *for some reason, Steve Miller and Robert Fripp are not listed in the archives, but I clearly remember listening to both.
