Thank you for mentioning the leotard rant. 2024 Howe would never be able to receive criticism so calmly.
I might pick up an old hobby and start sewing all my clothes again. I found some really cool 70s sewing patterns and I need to do Something with my life
Steve, Chris and Alan with their melodihorns. Rick having a ton of fun (before Steve gets sick of it)
Other great pieces from his solo album.
Happy birthday to Maury Muehleisen, who would have turned 76 years old today.
Though mostly known as Jim Croce's right hand, this quiet, tragic man has changed my life in a way I'm not quite able to put into words. He brought me closer to music, made me stop throwing away everything I write, gave me courage to make friends again.
He inspires me to cherish and love those around me while I still have the time to do it.
STEVE HOWE: “In Abbey Road's Studio 3 recording 'Double Rondo' and Vivaldi's 2nd movement Lute concerto for The Steve Howe Album.”
