Ithacan, 71

Rather than give you a dull bio, I'll hip you to some of the music that grabs me. In increasing order of significance:
RUN, do not walk, to YouTube and enter "johnny Winter Live at Rockpalast, 1979." Holy crow. A stone professional at the very top of his game. For one song, he and his bassist switch instruments. It's a brilliant bit of showmanship, and you won't be surprised that Mr. Winter acquits himself quite well.
Next up is mashups. Like the good little postmodernist I am, I love it when someone marries the lyrics of one song to the music for another. There's a guy named Bill McClintock who does astonishing work. For my money, the best I ever heard is a blend of Katrina and the Wave's "Walking on Sunshine" with -- wait for it -- Slayer's "Chemical Warfare." Just SO wrong -- "Chemical warfare, and don't it feel good" -- and yet, possibly the best blending of male and female energies ever.
Finally, there's bagrock. The bagpipes and and electric guitar blend just like peanut butter and chocolate. Bands like Celtica and Prydein create songs that are as memorable as they are powerful. Celtica does "Scotland the Brave" seguing into "Smoke on the Water"...and wow. Just wow.
So, my friends, I hope you enjoy. And please tell me what music gets YOU all hot and bothered.
