Welcome to my new website

Many of us over 60 are counted out when part-time jobs come up despite our collective wisdom and abilities.

To counter some of this prejudice I have dispensed with sending my CV and have instead created The Complete Picture, an animated ninety second overview of my life to date @ https://vimeo.com/223960456.

 

 

 

Brian Wilson's Reimagining Gershwin

In the 1960s there were three LPs of many which I played again and again they were Sergeant Pepper, Bridge Over Troubled Waters and Good Vibrations. I know there were others from Jimi Hendrix, Santana, the Stones et al but for me these three stood out. 

And unlike our parents and because of the changes to technology we can buy them again either as a reversioned cd or simply download a track.
 
It is hard to believe two Beatles are already no longer with us but Paul Mc has gone on and on venturing into different musical genres as has Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel split up and have ahd very successful solo careers though Paul has probably done more.

Brian Wilson is driven by his desire to prove to himself that he was the best of the 1960s and he spends much of his time pondering how good he is. Actually he thinks on some days he's the best and on others he is consumed that he isn't.   

So it would be pretty brave for any musician to take on Gershwin which is what Wilson has done with his soon to be released album: Brian Wilson Reinvisaging Gershwin. It's a mix and match album but not for me.
