I'm sure I'm not the only one who listens to some side long tracks. I've got 2112 and both books of Cygnus X-1 committed to memory, what songs have you wasted away next to your stereo trying to learn?

I had a nasty habit of forgetting my music for orchestra class and was too proud to share off the 2nd chair guy. Not the greatest move for a priciple double bassist, not at all

Still took me quite a while to get through it, though.

There was a "Rock Medley," a "POP Medley" and a "Rap Medley." Tempo changes, key changes, strange bridges between - It was a brutal experience but sounded pretty good! |
