Still need to catch up on a few here! While doing that, I recalled these two: (UFO - Love To Love - Live!) Ozzy - Crazy Train

Still one of the best band names ever! (IMO!)

*Wonders if this post counts???* ? ?

Could be a while Steve! I'd head over to the pub just in case though... ? Hmm... I don't really drink anymore (health and budget reasons), but a nice pint of Old Speckled Hen is sounding good! ?

As if ANYONE has the attention span for me talking!!! ?

**** YEAH!!! ?

Some solos are simply there to show off, others take a song to the next level. I'm more interested in the second option! ?

Some Prog can keep my interest but, to be honest, a lot (as well as Classical which I listen to quite often) acts as perfect background music while I'm programming. They both help me focus.

Oh! Wan ker. Got it. (?)

Actually, I've off and on practiced a form of Yoga called Surya (or Sungazing) for over four decades. Although you don't stare at the sun when it's right above (usually just the first 20 degrees in the morning and the last 20 degrees around sunset), I can stare directly at the sun without blinking. Even though I don't live in the UK and can actually SEE the sun! ? Also, I'm now in my 60's and still have 20/10 vision (i.e., "better" than perfect)! YMMV.

Mama always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun... But Mama, that's where the fun is!

Sh ite? ?

I always heard it as "Cheese and rice!"

So, your missus has an app to control you using Bluetooth? ?

Yes, but which solo??? ? Although I can appreciate a master-class solo, I'm a big fan of any solo that fits the song perfectly.

Found this live version! Loved it!

?

Yes!

Had this link sent to me. We won't be under the path, but you might be! https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/

Inspired by the Rick Beato interview with Steve Vai and Satch that Old Joad posted! These are the two they chose (I'll have to think about this one for a bit!):

Liked that one I did! ?

Or Back to School!

Wow Dave, really??? They were my favorite band for quite a while around the end of high school and through college (well, my first three colleges anyway!?). I actually ended up working with a IT consultant named Jorge who was both Danny's neighbor in Malibu and good friend of his. Ironically, although they both shared a love for B-movies, Jorge didn't like his music much! ? The best part was when Jorge told Danny I was a big fan (and a member of Steve Bartek's forum; who was their guitarist). Danny gave him two upfront tickets to one of their famous Halloween shows at the Irvine Meadows Amphitheater (I lived in Irvine) to give to me! I got to take the hottest girl in the office and we sat right next to Danny's wife and kid. ? I have some very good memories of that night!
