Mitzi is the name of a friend's cat. Hearing this name I thought I should find out the meaning of Mitzi Dupree, one of the song from a famous classic rock band: Deep Purple! After searching the web for it, well, nothing special came out about it. So, all it's left to do is just to enjoy the song as it is, without thinking about some hidden meanings! And, by the way, "It has no connection with China!"
Well, if you are searching the web for "The House of Blue Lights" instead of "The House of Blue Light", you'll find quite a story, a scary tale!
Even today, though it has been many years since the “House” has been torn down, there is tremendous interest in it.
I've watched this clip of Soldier of Fortune a couple of years ago, and right now I am listening to it again. Back then I liked the nail clip idea, and now, after a few conversations on Ibanez guitars with a guitarist friend, I've noticed that the one in this clip is made by this manufacturer.
Music: Deep Purple
Album: Stormbringer (1974)
Song: Soldier of Fortune
Label: Warner Bros. Records
Lyrics:
There were LPs, then cassettes and video tapes. A major change in sound quality was brought to us by compact discs (Philipsand SONY), the famous CDs!
The very first song that I was listening to, played on a CD player, and using headphones, was Deep Purple's Child in Time. It was, and will be an everlasting experience!
Do you remember your similar experience?
Many of my posts on this rock blog bring together different performances of the same song, and this is no different. You'll find, below the original, Yngwie Malmsteen's cover with a homonym name in a characteristic (guitar) interpretation. Enjoy!
The other day I was listening to Last of a Dyin' Breed, the track that gave the name of Lynyrd Skynyrd's newest album (Roadrunner Records, 2012).
Starting from it, I've jumped to one of their classics: Free Bird. The way the sound "evolve" during the song made me search for Stairway to Heaven (Led Zeppelin), and, subsequently, for Child in Time (Deep Purple).
When I am talking about the "evolution" of the sound during each of these three songs, I mean that your ears will be "prepared" with a gentle sound at the beginning of the song.
Then, step by step the tempo and the intensity of the sound are increasing until it reaches the climax which lasts exactly how it should last: no less, no more.
In the end, you will be spared of a rough transition back to reality, the sound comes down at a level compared to the one it started. It is like the climber which is compelled to come back from the top of the mountain, after he/she enjoyed the view. The pace is a little bit faster to the way back than to the way to the top...
Now I am letting you to enjoy the sounds of these great classic tracks, by posting them in the above mentioned order.
