Gary show these Nash's movies. A psychedelic show, as we no longer see in our days. Very cool. Thank you for posting Nash's biography. At that time, 1981, I was studying in Toronto, but I was focused on other things, fundamental for me. A pity, I think I lost a bit of history.

 

[happyrat1]

Sadly I have to say that even though I've lived next to Toronto for the past 20 years I only discovered Nash the Slash in the last couple of years after his death as well.

I too feel I have missed out on an opportunity to experience history in the making.

Hi Gary
Those are all well respected artists in their own right. Not in my collection but if their songs played on the radio, I would probably hum, sing or tap my feet. No worries.
But, sorry Gary, I cannot get into Nash. I have never heard of him before. I watched your vids. Kinda weird. Even though I usually like weird this guy doesn't ruffle my feathers at all. But with respect he probably has talent and high regard in Canada. Why the mask?

 

[Rayblewit]

Okay, I now know why the mask. I just read the wiki link you posted Gary. Bandages in fact.

Just for the sake of completeness, here's a couple of Canadian bands who are currently on the charts and on tour.

Oriane, not sure if you knew this already, but Alex Ligertwood used to be the lead singer for Santana.

It's my favorite song. i enjoy sit down and listen myself

 

[happyrat1]

Ray >>> You may enjoy Nash The Slash's greatest hit, "Wolf."

It shows off his conventional violin skills more. Unfortunately no live videos exist of this performance.

Don't need video. I just closed my eyes and listened.
Yes I did enjoy that. Amazing sound. He certainly had skillful technique in playing that violin.

Cowboy, I did not know it. The guy is a phenomenon with his range of voice, only comparable to Janis Joplin.

 

[Oriane Lima]

Hermeto Pachoal, the albino and hairy, Brazilian multitalented artist, in his performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1979. A musical genius. This guy is still alive and active, and lives about 40 kilometers from where I Live. Unmissable.

Wow! He looks old in this vid. 1979 was 37 years ago. So now he must be 154 . .
At least he doesn't have a mask . . Lol. Just hair.
You have to appreciate jazz to enjoy that performance.
I enjoyed.

[Oriane Lima]

Lol! Ray. Y're right

 

[happyrat1]

Oriane, another Brazilian jazz artist I've been listening to since the 70's is Eumir Deodato. Amazing orchestrations from his group.

Fantastic.

 

[Oriane Lima]

Hey, Gary, yes, Eumir is a major (conductor and arranger). Appeared in the Seventies with a great success, Also sprach Zarathustra. An impressive arrangement, very good. Lives in La. I also like the Azymuth group. I've been following them for the past forty years. Very very good. The name of this song is the time ago.
