Those of you on twitter are well aware of #musicmonday, the weekly ritual where fellow tweeters share links or lyrics or what have you to music they've taken a fancy to and would like to share with the world. A friend of mine (check her out, I've taken a fancy to her random but nonetheless entertaining and usually insightful musings on life from the eyes of an employee of a popular hardware retail chain) partakes in this ritual on her blog, and citing inspiration from her, I'd like to join in too.
So my offering today is Jimi Hendrix's Little Wing. Other than building a song around a unique chord progression and some pretty sick riffs, what I really appreciate about the track is how he incorporated a glockenspiel in the background...like, really really well. (by the way, for those of you who don't know, a glockenspiel is...ah, well you can google it.)

whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, WHOA. my favorite song.
ReplyDeletethe only problem with this song is that it's much, much too short. i had a friend who said he edited the song to be longer by looping it at a certain point.
ReplyDeleteas i told beverly, check out the song "burning of the midnight lamp." that song oozes a whole lot of something. i'm just not sure what it is, yet.
