Actually this one is more accurate, if we are talking 1971, as I wasn’t born until 5 years later.

Sorry David if you don’t listen to classic rock the reference to Frank Zappa and the Mothers of invention is bewildering. Cheers

It is! Mind you, I am vaguely familiar with the name Frank Zappa I think.

Ozzy Osbourne - Mr. Crowley
Three days ago I mentioned the American guitarist Randy Rhoads (1956-1982). He is basically only known as the guitarist on Ozzy’s first two solo albums, which was enough for him to put his name into the history of rock. Today Randy Rhoads would have turned 68. Here’s one to his memory

Since Ozzy’s birthday earlier this week, I’ve had some Sabbath popping up in my YouTube rcommendations. Among them is the first track on their debut album from 1970. Got me thinking, is there any band/artist introducing themselves to the world in a more proper and accurate manner than this?

Happy Birthday to the American singer and songwriter Tom Waits, who is turning 75 today. He made his debut in 1973, with good songs inspired by beat poetry, jazz, blues and country. As the albums kept coming, the arrangments got weirder and weirder, which has made him an artist who may not be for everybody. In addition he’s got a growling and very distinct voice.
However, Tom Waits is a highly respected artist, both among his fellow musicians and among his ever growing fanbase. Numerous musicians have expressed admiration for him, and his songs have been recorded by among others The Eagles, Bruce Springsteen, Rod Stewart, Johnny Cash and The Ramones.
In the past 25 years Tom Waits’ albums have even begun to chart, getting into the top five in the album charts in several countries, even to number 1 twice in Norway. His music may sound weird, but the core of it is still beat poetry, jazz, blues and country, and last but not least some very skilled songwriting To celebrate Tom Waits’ birthday, I’ll go easy and pick a couple of his more standard and “easy-listening” songs. Cheers to Tom Waits! 
Tom Waits - Hold On
Tom Waits - Downtown Train
I have seen Tom Waits live once. It was on the Rain Dogs tour in 1985. He is an excellent performer, and it was a memorable experience! And while we’re at it, here is an example of a little more challenging side of today’s birthday boy.

Did you post the right song now mate? You posted the same song half an hour ago.
When celebrating the memory of Frank Zappa earlier this week, we also discussed the famous fire in Montreux in Switxerland in 1971, and the song it inspired. It is a good song, and it is sometimes said about really good songs, that they can be played in stripped down arrangements and still be good songs, It got me thinking about a version of Smoke On the Water I passed by recently, by a young lady who calls herself Gamazda. I’d say it works
