Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train (live in studio April 1981)

Happy Birthday to Ozzy, turning 76 today :metal:

The sound on this clip isn’t the best. Still I wanted to give guitarist Randy Rhoads a mention too. This very talented guitar player was killed in a tragic accident less than a year after this was recorded. He was only 25 years old. The guitar riff on this song is one of my favourite riffs ever. What could have been.

I don’t know about the best song I’ve heard today, since, of course I can’t hear it, but she sure is one of the prettiest singers I’ve seen in a long time. The name of the song is, I Drowned. I’m told she only sings in Portuguese. I hope it’s still a good song for you guys.

On December 4, 1993, at the age of 52, Frank Vincent Zappa died from complications related to prostate cancer. Zappa had been diagnosed with cancer several years prior, yet he continued to work on his music until his death.

Zappa spent much of his early career playing in various nightclubs and composing soundtracks and scores for low-budget films. He also worked as a producer for a number of local artists and eventually started running his own recording studio, which he called Studio Z.

His work is characterized by non-conformism, improvisational sound experiments, musical virtuosity and satire on American culture. Zappa also directed feature films and music videos and designed album covers. He is considered one of the most innovative and stylistically diverse musicians of his generation.

Happy Birthday to American musician Chris Hillman, who is turning 80 today! He’s best known as the original bassist, and occasional singer and songwriter, in The Byrds. After he quit them in 1968, he teamed up with Gram Parsons in the Flying Burrito Brothers. He then went on with Stephen Stills’ Manassas, the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band and the Desert Rose Band.

In addition Chris Hillman has released several solo albums and collaborations with other musicians, among them other ex-Byrds members. So this man has been around. No wonder he is considered one of the pioneers of country rock. Chris Hillman can also be a fine songwriter. Among the songs he’s written is what may be my favourite Byrds song, Have You Seen Her Face? Here it is! Once again a Happy Birthday to Chris Hillman :wine_glass:

Happy Birthday to Canadian singer and songwriter Anna McGarrigle, who is turning 80 today. Along with her sister Kate (1946-2010), she was one part of the duo Kate & Anna McGarrigle, who had some minor success in the latter part of the 1970’s and into the 80’s.

Anna is the writer of the song Heart Like A Wheel, the title track of Linda Ronstadt’s number one album from 1974. To celebrate her birthday, here is a lovely song she wrote for the sisters 1976 debut album. To Anna McGarrigle :wine_glass:

In 1971 a certain casino in Switzerland bears testimony to Frank Zappa who was playing a concert there. Certainly a Rock Legend. Cheers Frank :cocktail:

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

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