Turn the amp to 11 and rock out on "Highway Star"! (Oh wait, you're probably too young to remember "Highway Star" . . .  ). But you are old enough for a cold one afterwards! Happy Birthday! |

I came here for something else and saw my name.
Thanks, guys.
Lesse... highway star. It doesn't ring any bells. I listen to a lotta old and less well known stuff (thanks to a huge record donation from my mom's chiropractor, of all people) but that's not in my stack.
Favorite Albums that I would have never heard without vinyl: Secret Treaties, Closer to Home and Rust Never Sleeps.

OK, so Highway star is probably 10 years older then you are...so just play One Step Closer at 11 and we'll call it a draw...
Happy Birthday young 'un

Syd-
OK, if you're a classic vinyl guy, you'd probably appreciate Deep Purple's "Highway Star". It's on their classic Machine Head album.
You've probably heard it and would recognize it if you heard it again.
While I won't go as far as to say it's "the best R&R song ever" or anything, it is certainly one of the best songs for driving. Except that whenever it comes on the radio, my right foot just naturally presses a little harder, I move to the left lane, speed picks up about 15 mph . . .
You get the picture.

I KNEW I'd heard of that song SOMEPLACE. Okay, Deep purple. I actually have quite a few songs by them... Kinda ashamed that I didn't pick up on that...  Oh well! Yes yes yes. I'll find meself a tab and learn it! ...except my new head doesn't show up until the 14th. BAH! |

syd, .........
...except my new head doesn't show up until the 14th. You do realize that this is an opening that anyone could drive a semi through, don't you? ;D But seeing as how we no longer are blessed with an UnklMickey, I'll leave well enough alone..... after all, it is your birfday, so you deserve a bit of kindness on this special day, right? Be cool!  sumgai |

Sometimes a fresh unit is just more convenient than a haircut.
