You skipped the light fandango?
As much as I like Procol Harum, reasonable people can agree that ‘Whiter Shade Of Pale’ is one of the most overplayed songs of all time.
And I hatehatehate the orchestral version of ‘Conquistador’. Don’t begrudge them the $$’s they made off it, though…
In my experience unkown songs and overplayed songs are, in turn, unknow and overplayed for good reasons.
Happy (Re)Birthday Jesus!!!
And check this out…. A Nellie McKay (pronouced McK-eye) show at Arden April 20th!!

Whiter shade is the harum equal to free bird. As with many orchestral arrangements, it is a all or nothing proposition to the ear of the listener. Who or what is on tap for next week?
