Almost 30 Years of Bill Nelson

Yup, Practically Wired in '95 was the first time....the first time KNOWING that I was hearing Bill.

Blah blah blah, repetitive hyperbole; several paragraphs unwritten. This happens to me a lot with music that I've listened to for years or decades. Sometimes I hear it in new ways; I hear new things, and it's always a magical experience, like another expansion of awareness.

There was one time a couple years ago with a guitar part from a PW tune, maybe a bit of sweep picking. It blew my mind. Bill chimed in about how yeah "that's why to have to listen ..." (hard ?, carefully?). A few weeks ago it was 2 songs: Friends From Heaven, and Big Yellow Moon. On separate days I played each one over and over, soaking in the complexities and nuances, pretty much jaw agape at the level of...everything. I swear, BYM is an incredibly elegant piece of music, just intensely perfect in every way.

That's all 😁
